The pathophysiology of sickle cell disease is complicated by the multiscale processes that link the molecular genotype to the organismal phenotype: hemoglobin polymerization occurring in milliseconds, microscopic cellular sickling in a few seconds or less [Eaton WA, Hofrichter J (1990) Adv Protein Chem 40:63-279], and macroscopic vessel occlusion over a time scale of minutes, the last of which ...

After La2Mo2O9 (LMO), Cu-substituted LMO (LCuMO), and CuMoO4 (CuMO) powders were prepared by complex polymerization method or oxide mixing method, their antiviral antifungal activities evaluated. The obtained samples having a crystal structure of either with specific surface area 3.0–6.0 m2/g. These exhibited almost equal activity against bacteriophage Qβ, whereas CuMO was found to have the hig...

Pickering inverse emulsions of hydroxyl oligoethylene glycol methacrylate were stabilized in isopropyl myristate, a biofriendly oil, using surface-modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as stabilizing particles. The further polymerized by free or controlled radical polymerization (ATRP), taking advantage the bromoisobutyrate functions grafted on CNC surface. Suspension emulsion led to full bead...
