Integrin activation is crucial for the regulation of leukocyte rolling, adhesion and trans-vessel migration during inflammation and occurs by engagement of myeloid cells through factors presented by inflamed vessels. However, endothelial-dependent mechanisms of myeloid cell recruitment are not fully understood. Here we show using an autoperfused flow chamber assay of whole blood neutrophils and intravital microscopy of the inflamed cremaster muscle that CD95 mediates leukocyte slow rolling, adhesion and transmigration upon binding of CD95-ligand (CD95L) that is presented by endothelial cells. In myeloid cells, CD95 triggers activation of Syk-Btk/PLCγ2/Rap1 signaling that ultimately leads to integrin activation. Excitingly, CD95-deficient myeloid cells exhibit impaired bacterial clearance in an animal model of sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Our data identify the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the chemoattractant effect of endothelial cell-derived CD95L in induction of neutrophil recruitment and support the use of therapeutic inhibition of CD95's activity in inflammatory diseases.

Freestanding nanomembranes fabricated by lift-off technology have been widely utilized in microelectromechanical systems, soft electronics, and microrobotics. However, a conventional chemical etching strategy to eliminate nanomembrane adhesion often restricts material choice and compromises quality. Herein, we propose a nanomembrane-on-graphene strategy that leverages the weak van der Waals adhesion on graphene to achieve scalable and controllable release and 3D construction of nanomembranes.

Tape rolls are often used for multiple patients despite recommendations by manufacturers for single-patient use. We developed a survey to query Health Care Personnel about their tape use practices and beliefs and uncovered behaviors that put patients at risk for hospital-acquired infections due to tape use.

Enhancing the interfacial adhesion between carbon-based coatings and substrates through a simple method remains a challenge, mainly due to the intrinsic chemical inertness of carbon materials. Herein, a carbon nanosphere-based coating utilizing an amyloid-like protein aggregation strategy is developed, involving only the reaction of protein, reductant, and carbon nanospheres in an aqueous solution at room temperature. The resultant coating, enriched in amyloid-like protein structures, features both robust interfacial adhesion and high light absorption (≈98.

In low-temperature, high-humidity environments, the condensation of water vapor within microstructures can initiate a detrimental cycle of hydrophobic failure, high-adhesion ice formation, and microstructural degradation, thereby limiting the practical application of superhydrophobic coatings in anti-icing and de-icing technologies. Therefore, enhancing the hydrophobic stability and mechanical durability of these coatings under such conditions is imperative. This study presents a novel approach where rigid FeO nanoparticles are encapsulated within porous diatomaceous earth (DME) and combined with high-adhesion acrylic resin (AR), resulting in a superhydrophobic photothermal coating that possesses both active and passive de-icing capabilities, fabricated through a straightforward one-step spraying technique.

Background: Given the composition of rice and its lack of gluten proteins, rice flour fails to form a cohesive and elastic dough when mixed directly with water. Consequently, many rice products rely on rice sheets (RS) made by rolling cooked rice dough. Limited research exists on how the rolling process impacts the properties and structure of cooked indica rice dough.
