Splenectomy Associated Changes in IgM Memory B Cells in an Adult Spleen Registry Cohort by Paul U. Cameron (210950)

“…Changes of asplenia in routine blood films including presence of Howell-Jolly bodies (HJB), occurred early (median 25 days) and splenectomy associated thrombocytosis and lymphocytosis peaked by 50 days. There was a more gradual decrease in IgM memory B cells reaching a stable level within 6 months after splenectomy. …”

“…We studied Type 1 diabetes (T1D) as a paradigmatic example of autoimmunity. In T1D, variation in the Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) genes explains up to 50% of the genetic risk, indicating that T cells have a major role in T1D etiopathogenesis. …”

Superior Hard but Quickly Reversible Si–O–Si Network Enables Scalable Fabrication of Transparent, Self-Healing, Robust, and Programmable Multifunctional Nanocomposite Coatings by Yi Hou (148620)

“…The highly cross-linked continuous network endows the coating with a hardness (<i>H</i> = 0.83 GPa) higher than those of most polymers (<i>H</i> < 0.3 GPa), while the uniformly dispersed micelles decrease the Young’s modulus (<i>E</i> = 5.89 GPa) to a value as low as that of common plastics, resulting in excellent hardness and flexibility, with an <i>H</i>/<i>E</i> of 14.1% and an elastic recovery rate (<i>W</i>_e) of 86.3%. …”
