Development of Knitted Compression Covers for Amputated Limbs

Compression therapy can be successfully applied to the treatment of amputated limbs. Compression is known to speed healing and reduce the appearance of complex scars. This is particularly relevant as the number of amputations increases, esp...

PD-L1 vNAR promotes hair growth by modulating hair shaft elongation through activating the leptin-STAT3 signaling.

Genetics : a conceptual approach

Introduction to Genetics Genetics Is Important to Us Individually, to Society, and to the Study of Biology Humans Have Been Using Genetics for Thousands of Years A Few Fundamental Concepts Are Important for the Start of Our Journey into Gen...

Comparative investigation of similar and dissimilar AA6061/AA7075, AA6061/AA2024, and AA6061/AA5083 joints produced by continuous-drive friction welding

This study considers continuous-drive friction welding to compare AA6061/AA6061, AA6061/AA7075, AA6061/AA2024, and AA6061/AA5083 joints produced under the same nominal processing conditions. Optical and scanning electron microscopy, EDS, XR...

Multi-gene phylogeny and morphological characters reveal seven new species of Micropsalliota (Agaricales, Agaricaceae) from southern China, with an updated key for the species distributed in China

Species of Micropsalliota generally grow in the tropics and are characterised by small, slender basidiomes, brown basidiospores, and cheilocystidia that vary in shape with capitate or subcapitate apex, and pigmented pileipellis. Based on mo...

Monitoring of <i>Fusarium</i> Species and Trichothecene Genotypes Associated with <i>Fusarium</i> Head Blight on Wheat in Hebei Province, China

To clarify the changes in field populations of Fusarium head blight (FHB) pathogens over a decade, Fusarium species and trichothecene genotypes associated with FHB on wheat were monitored in Hebei province during the periods 2005&#8722;2006...

Influence of size effect on springback and thickness distribution of hydroformed ultra-thin metallic bellows

Ultra-thin metallic bellows are critical components in new energy vehicles and aerospace applications, yet their forming precision is significantly challenged by size effects when the wall thickness is reduced to the mesoscopic scale. This ...

Multi-omics analysis delineates the distinct functions of sub-cellular acetyl-CoA pools in Toxoplasma gondii

Abstract Background Acetyl-CoA is a key molecule in all organisms, implicated in several metabolic pathways as well as in transcriptional regulation and post-translational modification. The human pathogen Toxoplasma gondii possesses at leas...
