Abstract Cadmium selenide quantum dots (QDs) are fluorescent and electron-dense nanoparticles.When used as reporter of immunolabeling, this dual visibility is essential for direct comparison of its fluorescent signals on light microscopy (LM) and their ultrastructrual counterparts on electron microscopy (EM) as correlative light and electron micros
The shift from a bipolar to a multipolar and multi-faceted world has reduced the risk of conventional inter-state wars, but has been the cause of several intra-state armed conflicts with an even higher risk of regional instability.Such conflicts and the resurgence of a global activism have produced a dramatic growth in peacekeeping requirements sin
This comparative paper describes the activation and decay heat calculations for water-cooled lithium-lead performed part of the EURO fusion WPSAE programme and specifications in comparison to other European DEMO blanket concepts on the basis of using a three-dimensional neutronics calculation model.Results are provided for a range of decay times of
The use of psychostimulants and alcohol disrupts blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, resulting in alterations to cellular function, and contributes to neurotoxicity.The BBB is the critical boundary of the central nervous system (CNS) where it maintains intracellular homeostasis and facilitates communication with the peripheral circulation.The BBB
Due to the critical roles of macrophage in immune response and tissue repair, harnessing macrophage SLEEVES phenotypes dynamically to match the tissue healing process on demand attracted many attentions.Although there have developed many advanced platforms with dynamic features for cell manipulation, few studies have designed a dynamic chemical pat
