Sub-microscopic (SM) Plasmodium infections represent transmission reservoirs that could jeopardise malaria elimination goals.A Lubricating Pen better understanding of the epidemiology of these infections and factors contributing to their occurrence will inform effective elimination strategies.While the epidemiology of SM P.falciparum infections has
In situ direct observation of photocorrosion in ZnO crystals in ionic liquid using a laser-equipped high-voltage electron microscope
ZnO photocatalysts in water Beast Machines react with environmental water molecules and corrode under illumination.ZnO nanorods in water can also grow because of water splitting induced by UV irradiation.To investigate their morphological behavior caused by crystal growth and corrosion, here we developed a new laser-equipped high-voltage electron m
Spectral characteristics of urine from patients with end-stage kidney disease analyzed using Raman Chemometric Urinalysis (Rametrix).
Raman Chemometric Urinalysis (RametrixTM) was used to discern differences in Raman spectra from (i) 362 urine specimens from patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), (ii) 395 spent dialysate specimens from those PD therapies, and (iii) 235 urine specimens from healthy human volunteers.RametrixTM analy
Targeted single-cell genomics reveals novel host adaptation strategies of the symbiotic bacteria Endozoicomonas in Acropora tenuis coral
Abstract Background Endozoicomonas bacteria symbiosis with various marine organisms is hypothesized as a potential indicator of health in corals.Although many amplicon analyses using 16S rRNA gene have suggested the diversity of Endozoicomonas species, genome analysis has been limited due to contamination of host-derived sequences and difficulties
