Cardioplegic cardiac arrest with subsequent ischemic-reperfusion injuries can lead to the development of inflammation of the myocardium, leucocyte activation, and release of cardiac enzymes. Flow reduction to the bronchial ...

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries present one of the most promising energy storage systems owing to their high energy density and low cost. However, the practicalization of Li-S batteries is still hindered by several technical ...

The use of platinum, an expensive and scarce element, in dye sensitized solar cells may affect the cost and commercialisation of the technology. In this regard preferable candidates would be materials which are abundant ...

Sulfur remains the focus of attention as a perspective candidate for the cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. First of all, sulfur is cheap and has abundant resources, and secondly, has a high theoretical discharge ...

Carrier mobility is one of the most important parameters of any semiconductor material, determining its suitability for applications in a large variety of electronic devices including field effect transistors (FETs). Bulk ...

COVID-19 exposure in Central Asia appears underestimated and SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence data are urgently needed to inform ongoing vaccination efforts and other strategies to mitigate the regional pandemic. Here, in a ...

Human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) is a molecule of class I major histocompatibility complex. Numerous studies showed an association of the antigen with various types of spondyloarthropathies. The strength of this ...

Interstrand cross-links (ICLs) are highly cytotoxic DNA lesions that block DNA replication and transcription by preventing strand separation. Previously, we demonstrated that the bacterial and human DNA glycosylases Nei ...

One of the best known multifunctional semiconductor oxide materials is zinc oxide (ZnO). The wide band gap, high binding energy of exciton, radiation resistance, and high chemical stability make it a promising material for ...
