Human neutrophils generate extracellular vesicles that modulate their functional responses
… by generating neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), and by modulating their own survival. Neutrophils also produce extracellular vesicles (EVs) termed ectosomes, which influence the function of other immune cells. Here, we studied neutrophil-derived ectosomes (NDEs) and whether they can …

Regulated generation allocation and operation optimization for networks with new variable independent power production and self-generation
… a replacement for fossil fuel-based electricity generation. As renewable energy sources (RES) in the form of independent power production (IPP) and on-site or self-generation (SG) proliferate on power networks, questions arise about their impact on the financial integrity of the traditional power …
