Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and related macular dystrophies (MDs) are a major cause of vision loss. However, the mechanisms underlying their progression remain ill-defined. This is partly due to the lack of disease models recapitulating the human pathology. Furthermore, in vivo studies have yielded limited understanding of the role of specific cell types in the eye vs. systemic influ...

Bearers of several cultures, such as Lipchinsk, Shapkul, Bairik, Andreevo, Tashkov, and Koptyakov lived in the Trans-Urals during Early Metal Age. Later, cultures Late Bronze Age formed there. Items ornamented with floating birds have been found among ceramics some these cultures. At same time, clayware considered to be sinkers for fishing nets has identified equipment all within this category ...

‘whistleblowing’ has come to increased prominence in many health systems as a means of identifying and addressing quality and safety issues. but whistleblowing – and the reactions to it – have many complex and ambiguous aspects that need to be considered as part of the broader (organisational) cultural dynamics of healthcare institutions.

Opto-Hydrodynamic Diatombot In article number 2301365, Baojun Li, Hongbao Xin, and co-workers report a wake-riding effect-inspired opto-hydrodynamic diatombot for non-invasive trapping removal of nano-biothreats with sizes down to sub-100 nm such as adenoviruses, pathogenic bacteria, mycoplasmas. This can be directly used in cell cultures, without affecting culturing cells including precious hi...

general, any n-sequence determines a multiset of (= n!/k!(n-k)!) k-sequences. "J Suppose, conversely, that we are given a multiset 01 k-sequences. Does that multiset come from some sequence? If so, is the source sequence unique? Such questions are reminiscent of the problem of reconstructing graphs from vertex-deleted sub raphs, which has received a great deal of attention in the last twent yea...

The paper deals with a new technique of fragile image watermarking. Proposed technique exploits inter-subband dependencies in order to minimize the influence of inserted watermark on the host image quality. Using the unique watermark based on the low-frequency subband, proposed scheme is resistant against attacks based on series of images analysis. Tampering detection ability of the proposed te...

background and objectives : each year, enteroviruses infect millions of people and cause different diseases. the agents are usually detected using cell culture. rd (rhabdomyosarcoma) and l20b (l cells) are among the recommended cells by the world health organisation (who) for this purpose. even though cell culture is the most common method used in diagnosing enteroviruses in stool specimens, th...

The nanomaterials have important application in different field of science such as biology and pharmacology, which draws the attention of biologists towards this field of study more than before. As the worldwide mortality rate is high due to the pathogens and especially because of the bacteria associated Aeromonas and the antibacterial effect of metal nanoparticles is well known for ce...
