NK Cells: Not Just Followers But Also Initiators of Chronic Vascular Rejection.

Chronic graft rejection represents a significant threat to long-term graft survival. Early diagnosis, understanding of the immunological mechanisms and appropriate therapeutic management are essential to improve graft survival and quality of life for transplant patients. Knowing which immune cells are responsible for chronic vascular rejection would allow us to provide effective and appropriate treatment for these patients.

Long-Term Radiometric Stability of Uncooled and Shutterless Microbolometer-Based Infrared Cameras.

Uncooled and shutterless microbolometer cameras are good candidates for infrared imaging systems installed on small satellites or small unmanned aerial vehicles: they are light and passive since no cooling system or mechanical shutter is required and they can be operated at ambient temperatures. However, the radiometric compensation has to be carefully performed to make the system compatible with applications where the radiometric accuracy of the images is mandatory. In this paper, we study the impact of the camera environment to the radiometric accuracy of the images.

A synthesis of women's participation in small-scale fisheries management: why women's voices matter.

Unlabelled: While women globally make up nearly half of the fisheries workforce, their contribution to the sector has long been overlooked with implications for fisheries management. To assess women's participation in small-scale fisheries (SSF) management and related socio-cultural, environmental, and economic impacts, we conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature (n = 124 case studies). Women had no or limited participation in more than 80% of the examined case studies reporting their participation level in SSF management.

Identification of Antioxidant Metabolites from Five Plants (, , , , ) of the Polynesian Pharmacopoeia and Cosmetopoeia for Skin Care.

Oxidative stress contributes to impairment of skin health, the wound healing process, and pathologies such as psoriasis or skin cancer. Five Polynesian medicinal plants, among the most traditionally used for skin care (pimples, wounds, burns, dermatoses) are studied herein for their antioxidant properties: , , , , and . Plant extracts were submitted to in vitro bioassays related to antioxidant properties and their bioactive constituents were identified by a metabolomic analytical approach.
