Accident tolerant composite nuclear fuels

Investigated accident tolerant nuclear fuels are fuels with enhanced thermal conductivity, which can withstand the loss of coolant for a longer time by allowing faster dissipation of heat, thus lowering the pusher centerline temperature and preventing the melting of the fuel.Traditional nuclear fuels have a very low thermal conductivity and can be

Solithromycin inhibits IL-13-induced goblet cell hyperplasia and MUC5AC, CLCA1, and ANO1 in human bronchial epithelial cells

Solithromycin is a novel fluoroketolide antibiotic belonging to the class of macrolide antibiotics.Activation of the interleukin (IL)-13 receptor leads to STAT6 activation and subsequent induction of SAM pointed domain containing ETS transcription factor (SPDEF), chloride channel accessory 1 (CLCA1), and anoctamin-1 (ANO1), all of which are associa
