Ecological resource potential.

The ecological resource potential (ERP) method allows to calculate the amount of one material that can potentially be produced within Earth system boundaries, if no other anthropogenic activity would take place. It indicates the uppermost potential of one resource extracted, processed and disposed after use with a specific set of technologies and a defined probability of violating Earth system boundaries. This method is an adaption of the ecological resource availability (ERA) method, which calculates the amount of a resource that can be produced within an allocated share of the global boundaries, i.

Platelets recruit human dendritic cells via Mac-1/JAM-C interaction and modulate dendritic cell function in vitro.

Objective: Thrombotic events and immunoinflammatory processes take place next to each other during vascular remodeling in atherosclerotic lesions. In this study we investigated the interaction of platelets with dendritic cells (DCs).

Methods And Results: The rolling of DCs on platelets was mediated by PSGL-1.
