Expression Profiling Analysis Reveals Key MicroRNA– mRNA Interactions in Early Retinal Degeneration in Retinitis Pigmentosa
(Association Research Vision Ophthalmology, 2018-05)
PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) that might play an important role in the etiology of retinal degeneration in a genetic mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa (rd10 ...
Effects of Mindfulness Training on Sleep Problems in Patients With Fibromyalgia
(Frontiers Media, 2018-08-03)
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a complex psychosomatic pain condition. In addition to generalized pain and various cognitive difficulties, new FMS diagnostic criteria acknowledge fatigue and sleep problems as core aspects ...
Understanding Grammars through Diachronic Change
(Frontiers Media, 2017-07-31)
In this paper, I will vindicate the importance of syntactic change for the study of synchronic stages of natural languages, according to the following outline. First, I will analyze the relationship between the diachrony ...
The 2018 biomembrane curvature and remodeling roadmap
(IOP Publishing, 2018-08-30)
The importance of curvature as a structural feature of biological membranes has been recognized for many years and has fascinated scientists from a wide range of different backgrounds. On the one hand, changes in membrane ...
Three-forms, dualities and membranes in four-dimensional supergravity
(Springer, 2018-07-04)
We consider four-dimensional N = 1 supergravity models of a kind appearing in string flux compactifications. It has been recently shown that, by using double three-form multiplets instead of ordinary chiral multiplets, one ...
Streptococcus pneumoniae , an unusual cause of early- onset neonatal sepsis and necrotizing pneumonia
(Wiley VCH, 2018-08)
Key Clinical Message Vertically transmitted sepsis due to Streptococcus pneumoniae has a low incidence, and vaginal colonization among pregnant women is exceptional. Necrotizing pneumonia is uncommon in immunocompetent ...
Review on Microfluidic Paper-based Analytical Devices towards Commercialisation
(Elsevier, 2017-11-11)
Paper-based analytical devices introduce an innovative platform technology for fluid handling andanalysis, with wide range of applications, promoting low cost, ease of fabrication/operation and equipment independence. This ...
Light-responsive Materials for Microfluidic Applications
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-03-07)
While the microfluidic device itself may be small, often the equipment required to control fluidics in thechip unit is large e.g. pumps, valves and mixing units, which can severely limit practical use and functionalscalability. ...
Manipulation of Fluid Flow Direction in Microfluidic Paper-Based Analytical Devices with an Ionogel Negative Passive Pump
(Elsevier, 2017-03-06)
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (microPADs) are a relatively new group of analytical tools thatrepresent an innovative low-cost platform technology for fluid handling and analysis. Nonetheless, microPADs lack ...
Reusable Ionogel-based Photo-actuators in a Lab-on-a-disc
(Elsevier, 2017-11-04)
This paper describes the design, fabrication and performance of a reusable ionogel-based photo-actuator, in-situ photopolymerised into a lab-on-a-disc microfluidic device, for flow control. The ionogel provides an effective ...
