Distinct plasmablast developmental intermediates produce graded expression of IgM secretory transcripts by Evelyn P. Sievert, Marissa C. Franke, Kayla B. Thomas, Yoseop Yoon, Yongsheng Shi, Roger Sciammas

“…Summary: Differentiation into plasma cells (PCs) enables secretion of ∼10,000 immunoglobulin molecules per second. This extraordinary capacity requires the upregulation of PC transcriptional determinants that specify PC fate, increase immunoglobulin mRNA synthesis, coordinate alternative 3′ end processing of the heavy chain transcript from the distal to proximal polyadenylation site (PAS), and remodel the secretory pathway. …”

Experimental Investigations of the Resistance Performance of Commercial Cylinder Filters and Effect Factors under Humid Airflows by Shuang Zhang, Wanyi Zhang, Tailong He, Huan Zhao, Zhongping Lin

“…Several factors including the hydrophobic properties, low filtration efficiency, and the unique composite structure of nanofiber filters media can constrain the “Pjump” of cylinder filters, impacting the water-holding capacity (WHC) or avoiding the high resistance. By contrast, the resistance trends of nanofiber media increased significantly from the initial resistance when singly subjected to airflows with water mist at 5.96 g m−3 and 90% relative humidity, differing from the nanofiber filter whose resistance tends to stabilize. …”
