MΦ macrophage – N0 neutrophil dialogue in the presence of TNF-α affects the endothelium by Sergiu-Marian VATAMANU, Monica ȚUCUREANU, Andreea MIHĂILĂ, Elena BUTOI, Anca FARKAS

“…Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) plays a pivotal role in the bi-directional dialogue between macrophages and neutrophils during the pre- and post- lesional stages of atherogenesis. This pro-inflammatory cytokine orchestrates a complex interplay between these immune cells, leading to the activation and recruitment of additional leukocytes, and the modulation of endothelial cell function, which collectively drive plaque formation and progression. …”

Amphiphlic polypropylene fibers with highly hydrophilic multi-grooved micro-structures through bicomponent melt spinning by Ruilong Liu, Renhai Zhao, Shunzhong Cai, Fuyun Sun, Kun Zhang, Xin Ning, George Hao

“…Tunable surface amphiphilic polypropylene (PP) fibers and textiles with multi-grooved hydrophilic micro-structures have been prepared through a commercially scalable segmented pie bicomponent fiber melt spinning and post-treatment process. It was demonstrated that the molecular implantation of a modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) macromolecular chains onto the PP interface/interphase during the bicomponent melt-spinning process was responsible for the hydrophilicity inside the micro-channels (micro-groves) of the PP fibers. …”
