The Transformation of the Microenvironment: From Observer to Coordinator in Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) to Myeloma Development

ABSTRACT Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a common asymptomatic plasma cell disorder and the major precursor state of multiple myeloma (MM). Although progression is partly shaped by intrinsic genetic and epigenetic changes within the plasma cell clone,...

Experimental and thermal performance evaluation of a PCM-enhanced solar water heater with a spiral coil heat exchanger

Latent heat thermal energy storage is an effective approach for enhancing the performance of solar water heating (SWH) systems by storing surplus thermal energy and delivering it during periods of low solar availability. In this study, the thermal performance of a solar water hea...
