Abstract Background Dengue virus infection results in a broad spectrum of clinical outcomes, ranging from asymptomatic infection through to severe dengue.Although prior infection with another viral serotype, i.e.secondary dengue, is known to be an important factor influencing disease severity, current methods to determine primary versus secondary i
Sphingolipids are a class of lipids acting as key modulators of many physiological and pathophysiological processes.Hydroxylation patterns have a major influence on the biophysical properties of sphingolipids.In this work, we have studied the mechanism of action of hydroxylated lipids in sphingomyelin synthase (SMS).The structures of the two human
Block copolymer (BCP) lithography makes use of the microphase separation properties of BCPs to pattern ordered nanoscale features over large areas.This work presents Pentair WhisperFlo Parts the microphase separation of an asymmetric polystyrene-block-poly(ferrocenyl dimethylsilane) (PS-b-PFS) BCP that allows ordered arrays of nanostructures to be
Recently, smart fluids have drawn significant attention and growing a Collections great interest in a broad range of engineering applications such as automotive and medical areas.In this article, two smart fluids called electro-rheological (ER) fluid and magneto-rheological (MR) fluid are reviewed in terms of medical applications.Especially, this a
