Antibacterial Fabrics In article number 2201061, Eduardo Barbieri, Stefano Menegatti, and colleagues present scalable methods to produce antibacterial fabrics by functionalizing nonwoven fiber mats with antimicrobial peptides polymers. Microgels are photo-crosslinked on nonwovens fibers utilized load release peptides. Selected affording sustained of show activity against bacteria Staphylococcus...

The liver is the major site of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and replication. However, HCV may infect and replicate in extrahepatic sites as well. Several investigators have demonstrated that peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are the major extrahepatic milieu of infection and viral replication. The aim of the study was to investigate the correlation between RNA-HCV level in serum. ...

The use of under-utilized Internet resources is widely recognized as a viable form of high performance computing. Sustained processing power of roughly 40T FLOPS using 4 million volunteered Internet hosts has been reported for embarrassingly parallel problems. At the same time, peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, with more than 50 million participants, have demonstrated the capacity for s...

In order to determine the most appropriate interferon (IFN) therapy according to patient background and to evaluate the efficacy of twice-daily IFN-β induction therapy (β2 therapy), 320 patients with chronic hepatitis C who underwent various IFN monotherapy regimens were retrospectively analyzed. Sustained virological response (SVR) and biochemical response (BR) rates were calculated with respe...
