The phenomenon of adhesion improvement during wheel-rail sliding has been experimentally verified under water conditions. However, the academic community is in agreement that, for oil that is also fluid, the adhesion characteristic curve under oil conditions exhibits a single peak, making adhesion improvement through wheel-rail sliding impossible. To investigate whether a similar adhesion improvement phenomenon exists under high-viscosity oil medium conditions as observed under water condition, this study conducted wheel-rail adhesion tests on oil-contaminated interfaces within a slip ratio up to 80%. The test results demonstrate that under higher wheel-rail slip, an adhesion improvement phenomenon also occurs on oil-contaminated rail surfaces, although it is more stringent compared to water conditions. The essence of this adhesion improvement is due to the lubrication failure of oil caused by temperature. Finally, this study analyzes the failure conditions of the oil-contaminated interface and its influencing factors, determining the thermal failure temperature range of the oil film.

Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy holds great promise for treating myocardial infarction (MI). However, the inflammatory and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-rich environment in infarcted myocardium challenges MSC survival, limiting its therapeutic impact. In this study, we demonstrate that chemical modification of MSCs with anti-VCAM1 and polydopamine (PD) significantly enhances MSC survival and promotes cardiac repair.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation, pannus formation, and progressive joint destruction. The inflammatory milieu in RA drives endothelial cell activation and upregulation of adhesion molecules, thus facilitating leukocyte infiltration into the synovium. Reelin, a circulating glycoprotein previously implicated in endothelial activation and leukocyte recruitment in diseases such as atherosclerosis and multiple sclerosis, has emerged as a potential upstream regulator of these processes.

Breast cancer represents a significant therapeutic challenge due to its aggressive nature and resistance to treatment. A major cause of treatment failure in breast cancer is the presence of rare, low-proliferative disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) in distant organs including the bone marrow. This study introduced a microfluidic-based approach to improve the immunodetection and isolation of these rare DTCs for downstream analysis, with an emphasis on optimizing immunocapture, release, and enrichment methods of live DTCs as compared to the standard approach for blood-borne circulating tumor cells (CTCs).

Clinical management of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) poses significant challenges due to its poor prognosis and heterogeneous nature. Discovering new biomarkers is crucial for improving risk assessment and customizing treatment approaches. While leukocyte-specific transcript 1 (LST1) is implicated in inflammation and immune regulation, its function in AML remains ambiguous.
