Investigation of the Properties of Fresh Concrete with Scoria as Coarse Aggregates. by Erugu, Pius

“…This is because the workability of concrete cannot be studied using any single method as it involves many aspects to be investigated like slump, setting time, flow-ability, among others. By investigating the properties of fresh concrete namely; setting time, yield stress, slump, density and air content, this research work will aid the utilisation of concrete with scoria as coarse aggregates in the construction industry of Uganda and elsewhere it has not been utilised on the globe. …”

The phytohormone abscisic acid enhances remyelination in mouse models of multiple sclerosis by Femke Van Gaever, Femke Van Gaever, Fleur Mingneau, Fleur Mingneau, Sam Vanherle, Sam Vanherle, Yasmine Driege, Yasmine Driege, Mira Haegman, Mira Haegman, Elien Van Wonterghem, Elien Van Wonterghem, Junhua Xie, Junhua Xie, Roosmarijn E. Vandenbroucke, Roosmarijn E. Vandenbroucke, Jerome J. A. Hendriks, Jerome J. A. Hendriks, Rudi Beyaert, Rudi Beyaert, Jens Staal, Jens Staal, Jens Staal

“…Additionally, in a mouse model of microglial activation, we showed that ABA-treated mice maintain a less inflammatory microglial phenotype.ConclusionOur findings highlight a crucial role for macrophages and microglia in enabling ABA to enhance the remyelination process. Furthermore, ABA’s ability to improve remyelination together with its ability to reduce microglial activation, make ABA a promising candidate for modulating macrophage phenotype and reducing neuroinflammation in MS.…”
