Ionic charge manages transformation

Boundary layer charge dynamics in ionic liquid-ionic polymer transducers

Who manages pathology laboratories?

In 1974 the DHSS issued circular HSC(lS)16, Organisation of Scientific and Technical Services, which provided an operational framework for the reorganised NHS and took into account some of the recommendations of the Zuckerman Report.1 Since 1974 there has been growing concern about the inadequacy of HSC(lS)16, and a few laboratories have experienced difficulties in trying to operate an effectiv...

Folate manages cell shape during neurulation.

Patents from papers both basic and applied Public funding for research depends on the idea that the resulting knowledge translates into socially valuable outcomes, such as medicines. Such linkages are easier to assert than to prove. Li et al. studied 27 years of grantlevel funding by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. About 10% of grants are directly cited by patents, suggesting some techn...

Autophagy manages disease-associated stress granules

Abnormal accumulation of cytosolic aggregates or inclusion bodies is a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases. Many common or specific molecular components such as ubiquitin, α-synuclein, TDP-43, or tau in neuronal cytosolic inclusion bodies have been identified as being associated with cellular pathogenic mechanisms of disease. Recently, stress granule (SG) marker proteins such as PABP...

Interfacial charge transport in water-in-oil microemulsions stabilized by ionic-non-ionic surfactant mixtures.

Interfacial charge transport and mobility have been studied in system-spanning nanodroplet clusters formed in water-in-oil microemulsions stabilized by non-ionic-ionic surfactant mixtures. An unexpectedly large reduction in the counterion mobility was derived from a two-step adsorption process which described the Langmuir-plot-like conductivity isotherm remarkably well. It also conformed very s...
