Parasite-released extracellular vesicles (EVs) deliver signals to the host immune system that are critical to maintaining the long-term relationship between parasite and host.In the present study, total EVs (FhEVs) released in vitro by adults tack copyright of the helminth parasite Fasciola hepatica were isolated using a recently described gravity
Mechanism of water-evaporation-induced electricity beyond streaming potential
Since its first discovery in 2017, evaporation-induced electricity has attracted extensive attention and shown significant advantages in green energy conversion.While the streaming potential-related electrokinetic effect has been intensively explored and widely recognized as the underlying mechanism, the role of coupling between water molecules and
Epidemiological Study of Sepsis in China: Protocol of a Cross-sectional Survey

Variability of the Hot Box Method in Assessing Thermal Resistance of a Double Leaf Brick Wall
The accurate thermal performance assessment of building components is critical for improving energy efficiency in buildings, mainly as space climatization accounts for a large percentage of energy consumption.The literature review points out multiple parameters that influence the measurement of the U-value using the HFM method.However, most of thes
Development of a core outcome set for oral health services research involving dependent older adults (DECADE): a study protocol
Abstract Background Oral healthcare service provision for dependent older adults is often poor.For dental services to provide more responsive and equitable care, evidence-based approaches are needed.To facilitate future research, the development and application of a core outcome set would be beneficial.The aim of this study is to develop a core out
