PurposePreimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) is essential for selecting embryos free from chromosomal abnormalities before transfer. However, challenges such as detection failures, mosaicism, and the lim...

Liver fibrosis is the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins, primarily collagen, in response to liver injury caused by chronic liver diseases. HIV infection accelerates the progression of liver fibrosis...

Droplets provide unique opportunities for the investigation of laser-induced surface chemistry. Chemical reactions on the surface of charged droplets are ubiquitous in nature and can provide critical insight into more ef...

Lipid droplets (LDs) are omnipresent intracellular organelles. Their number, size, and composition exhibit considerable heterogeneity within cells. Dysregulated lipid accumulation or depletion is not only a hallmark but ...

The microhydration of rock salt (NaCl) molecules was investigated theoretically by density‐functional theory and force field calculations and experimentally by high‐resolution Penning ionization electron spectroscopy...

ABSTRACT Stem callus cultures of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) local variety were grown on asynthetic medium Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. Optimal concentration of growth regulators were observed to be 0.5mg/L 2,4...

ABSTRACT Patterned microstructure arrays are widely used in flexible electronics, optics, and biosensing, yet fabrication still relies on costly, process‐intensive methods (e.g., photolithography) with limited reconfig...

Background and aims: The transition of macrophage to foam cells is a major hallmark of early stage atherosclerotic lesions. This process is characterized by the accumulation of large cytoplasmic lipid droplets containing...

Chlamydia psittaci is an obligate intracellular pathogen that poses a significant threat to both human and animal health. The current therapeutic strategies are limited by the emergence of potential drug resistance, unde...

IntroductionLipedema, a painful disease that almost exclusively affects women, leads to an excessive accumulation of subcutaneous adipose tissue, primarily in the extremities. Morphologically, it is characterized by hype...

Background/Aim: Dental care settings invariably carry the risk of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection because dental practice involves face-to-face communication with patients and the generation of large amount...

The World Health Organization reported that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has infected more than 5 million people around the world. Dental care providers and health care professionals need to be aware of the high-risk potential o...

We show that TANGO2 in mammalian cells localizes predominantly to mitochondria and partially at mitochondria sites juxtaposed to lipid droplets (LDs) and the endoplasmic reticulum. HepG2 cells and fibroblasts of patients...

Abstract Natural edible waxes mixed with plant oils, containing high levels of unsaturated fatty acids (FAs), are known as oleogels. Oleogels are used for replacing saturated FAs in animal-derived food with unsaturated F...

The Stacks platform is a reconfigurable open microfluidic cell culture device that enables integrated analysis of multi-culture systems. Effective utilization of this platform requires repeated fluid exchanges for cultur...

Fluid transport on confined systems is a subject of theoretical and technological interest. For instance, remarkable high flow rates have been obtained in carbon nanochannels (CNs) which cannot be predicted by standard m...

To investigate the effect of boron nitride (BN) content on the explosion performance of on-site mixed emulsion explosives, the microstructure of BN-containing on-site mixed emulsion explosives were characterized by trans...

There is scarce information about the effect of sperm morphology and seminal plasma composition on cat semen freezability. Thus, this study aims to assess the effect of cat sperm morphology and seminal plasma cholesterol...

Abstract Cheese emulsion is an intermediate product for the production of cheese powder and needs to be stable, homogeneous and pumpable characteristics to convey to the spray drier. This study was conducted to evaluate ...

The porous electrodes used in the EC treatment of emulsified oil wastewater were designed, and a study of the synergistic electro-flotation mechanism in this process was conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics simulation sof...

This work aimed to develop fish O/W emulsions using soy protein isolate (SPI) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) either as separate stabilising agents or in combination. The fish O/W emulsions were prepared using aqueous d...

The histological changes of the liver in ewes with pregnancy toxemia were characterized. Ten ewes were fed on grass ad libitum, and another ten were starved from day 130 of pregnancy for up to four days. Liver puncture b...

ABSTRACT Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae and M. lepromatosis. Brazil consistently ranks among the countries with the highest number of leprosy cases. Data from our group showed that...
