Background: Application of haptens to the skin induces release of immune stimulatory ATP into the extracellular space. This "danger" signal can be converted to immunosuppressive adenosine (ADO) by the action of the ectonucleotidases CD39 and CD73, expressed by skin and immune cells. Thus, the expression and regulation of CD73 by skin derived cells may have crucial influence on the outcome of contact hypersensitivity (CHS) reactions.
Objective: To investigate the role of CD73 expression during 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene (TNCB) induced CHS reactions.
Methods: Wild type (wt) and CD73 deficient mice were subjected to TNCB induced CHS. In the different mouse strains the resulting ear swelling reaction was recorded along with a detailed phenotypic analysis of the skin migrating subsets of dendritic cells (DC).
Results: In CD73 deficient animals the motility of DC was higher as compared to wt animals and in particular after sensitization we found increased migration of Langerin DC from skin to draining lymph nodes (LN). In the TNCB model this led to a stronger sensitization as indicated by increased frequency of interferon-γ producing T cells in the LN and an increased ear thickness after challenge.
Conclusion: CD73 derived ADO production slows down migration of Langerin DC from skin to LN. This may be a crucial mechanism to avoid over boarding immune reactions against haptens.

Moisture-electric generators (MEGs) generate power by adsorbing water from the air. However, their performance at low temperatures is hindered due to icing. In the present work, MEG arrays are developed by laser engraving techniques and a modulated low-temperature hydrogel as the absorbent material.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic brought to light the need to address the psychosocial and mental health needs of refugees and internally displaced persons in low- and middle-income countries. COVID-19 prevention measures slowed essential services and healthcare, creating unique challenges for refugees and IDPs, including economic insecurity and societal instability. All of these factors may contribute to the reported declines in their psychosocial well-being.

In this study, (UP) was used as the primary research material, and sugar-free gummy jelly was prepared using ultraviolet (UV) irradiation with phycocyanin. The properties were measured using a texture analyzer, color difference analyzer, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) analyzer, and sensory evaluation. Additionally, the stability during accelerated storage was examined.

Background: One key feature that distinguishes cancerous cell populations from their normal counterparts is a heightened tendency towards uncontrolled growth and invasive activity. Therapeutic techniques like radiotherapy can impact the viability and invasive behavior of cancer cells by modifying the structure of DNA and inducing programmed cell death.
Methods: This research is an experimental study and involved a comprehensive investigation into the effects of 6MV X-ray radiotherapy on various absorbed doses (ranging from 4 to 10 Gy by steps 2Gy) on toxicity, migration, and colony formation in C6 glioblastoma cellular cultures.
