Sphingomyelin encrypts tissue factor: ATP-induced activation of A-SMase leads to tissue factor decryption and microvesicle shedding

Abstract: A majority of tissue factor (TF) on cell surfaces exists in an encrypted state with minimal to no procoagulant activity.At present, it is unclear whether limited availability of phosphatidylserine (PS) and/or a specific membrane lipid in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane contributes to TF encryption.Sphingomyelin (SM) is a major ph

Overheating risk of a single-family detached house built at different ages under current and future climate in Canada

With the anticipated increase in temperature and solar radiation and frequency of extreme weather conditions due to climate change, buildings typically designed/built in Canadian cold climates would experience increased risks of summer overheating.This paper focuses on how these existing buildings perform under a current extreme year and projected
