A DEWETTING MODEL FOR DOUBLE-EMULSION DROPLETS

A Dewetting Model for Double-Emulsion Droplets

The evolution of double-emulsion droplets is of great importance for the application of microdroplets Collectables and microparticles.We study the driving force of the dewetting process, the equilibrium configuration and the dewetting time of double-emulsion droplets.Through energy analysis, we find that the equilibrium configuration of a partial e

Single-cell mass cytometry reveals complex myeloid cell composition in active lesions of progressive multiple sclerosis

Abstract Myeloid cells contribute to inflammation Breast Pump and demyelination in the early stages of multiple sclerosis (MS), but it is still unclear to what extent these cells are involved in active lesion formation in progressive MS (PMS).Here, we have harnessed the power of single-cell mass cytometry (CyTOF) to compare myeloid cell phenotypes
