- * This study focused on bead-on-plate welding of 0.2 mm thick pure copper using a blue diode laser, testing specific power, speed, and angle settings to achieve full penetration welds without defects.
- * Results showed that using certain parameters produced stronger and more ductile welds, with the best performing settings (Cu-1) yielding mechanical properties close to unwelded copper, offering a reliable alternative for joining small, thin parts.
Propionibacterium acnes is a Gram-positive commensal bacterium thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris. Although the ability of P. acnes in the initiation of pro-inflammatory responses is well documented, little is known about adaptive immune responses to this bacterium.

Surprisingly, these mice contain significant numbers of alpha beta T cells. Although mice deficient for CD8 only do not show any cytotoxic response when their T cells are stimulated with either alloantigen or viral antigen, the CD4-8- mice do generate alloreactive cytotoxic T cells.
