Geological CO2 sequestration has been proposed as an effective solution to mitigate excessive human-emitted CO2 in Extracts atmosphere.Knowledge of immiscible two-phase flow of CO2-water/brine is necessary to evaluate the efficiency and safety of geological storage sites.Among forces dominating fluid flow, capillary pressure is highly important bec

Abstract Backgroud Recent research has focused on the role of immune cells and immune responses in the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), but the exact door mat mechanisms have not yet been elucidated.Previously, the key roles of type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) in the lung immune network of BPD were explored.Here, we investigated
