Water is a vital nutrient with innumerable functions for every living cell.The functions of human skin include protection against dehydration of the body.Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic pruritic inflammatory skin disease that presents with dry skin, erythematous and eczematous lesions, and lichenification.This paper discusses the question of wh
Analysis of general and specific protein synthesis provides important information, relevant to cellular physiology and function.However, existing methodologies, involving metabolic labelling by incorporation of radioactive amino acids into nascent polypeptides, cannot be applied to monitor protein synthesis in specific cells or tissues, in live spe
Infertility is becoming increasingly common, affecting one in six people globally.Half of these cases can be attributed to male factors, many driven by abnormalities in the process of sperm development.Emerging evidence from genome-wide association studies, genetic screening of patient cohorts, and animal models highlights an important genetic cont
To the Editor, Microcatheters are essential tools to facilitate guidewire manipulation and exchange, thus enhancing the guidewire penetration force.1 The ReCross over-the-wire dual-lumen microcatheter (DLM) (IMDS, The Netherlands) is the latest evolution among DLM microcatheters.However, no data are available in the medical literature Santa Decorat
This work presents a comprehensive analysis of the ballistic response of Q235 steel/6061-T6 aluminum bilayer plates fabricated via explosive welding, with a special focus placed on elucidating the mechanisms of ballistic resistance enhancement due to the bonded interface.For comparison purposes, unbonded Q235 steel/6061-T6 aluminum bilayer plates (
