Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the roles of CD4 and CD8 T cells in multiple sclerosis (MS) and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), revealing that both types are involved in the disease process.
  • Using female mice, researchers isolated and analyzed T cells to see how they respond to the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) peptide, focusing on their proliferation and cytokine secretion.
  • The findings show that while CD8 T cells respond differently than CD4 T cells, particularly in cytokine production, they can still contribute to the clinical manifestations of EAE similarly to CD4 T cells.

A field experiment was conducted to examine the effects of controlled-release urea (CRU) application on ammonia (NH) volatilization, nitrogen (N) use efficiency and fresh ear yield of fresh edible maize. The treatments included one control (CK: no N fertilizer application) and four different band fertilization depths (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 cm). Results showed that NH volatilization from non-fertilization band and planting band mainly occurred in the first two weeks after the fertilization, which lasted for almost a month in the fertilization band.
