ABSTRACT The increasing prevalence of variant lineages during the COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to disrupt molecular diagnostics due to mismatches between primers and variant templates.Point-of-care molecular diagnostics, which often lack the complete functionality of their high-throughput laboratory counterparts, are particularly susceptible
In a recent paper, we presented new evidence and provided new insights on the status of Cantabrian brown bear subpopulations, relevant for this species conservation.Namely, we revealed the HAIR FIBER likely phylogeographic relation between eastern Cantabrian subpopulation and the historical Pyrenean population.We have also detected an asymmetric fl
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effects of short-acting cycloplegic agents, tropicamide and compound tropicamide, on ocular biological parameters and choroid thickness.Methods In this study, seventy pediatric subjects aged 6 to 13 years were randomly assigned to two groups: the tropicamide group and compound tropicamide group.Ocular biological
The pursuit of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors began in earnest over three decades ago.Initial clinical trials were disappointing, resulting in a negative view of MMPs as therapeutic targets.As a better understanding of MMP biology and inhibitor pharmacokinetic properties emerged, it became clear that initial MMP inhibitor clinical trials
Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has been one of the most useful processes in the manufacturing field.It has significant advantages in terms of the benefits of feature freedom and material waste reduction.These processes commonly use a heat source to fabricate a 3D shape through melting of a metal powder and subsequent solidification.The directed
