Hot spots induced by RF-accelerated electrons in the scrape-off layer on Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak

Preventing impurity emission from hot spots on plasma-facing materials is a critical issue in the maintenance of high-performance plasma on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST).In this study, experimental and theoretical analyses were performed to investigate the mechanism of Donation hot spot formation.In the upper single null

SEMA4D/VEGF surface enhances endothelialization by diminished-glycolysis-mediated M2-like macrophage polarization

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death and morbidity worldwide.Inflammatory responses after percutaneous coronary intervention led to neoathrosclerosis and in-stent restenosis and thus increase the risk of adverse clinical outcomes.In this work, a metabolism reshaped surface is engineered, which combines the decreased glycolysis
