Abstract Background Influenza A virus (IAV) continues to pose serious threats to public health.The current prophylaxis and therapeutic interventions for IAV requires frequent changes due to the continuous antigenic drift and antigenic shift of IAV.Emerging evidence indicates that the host microRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in intricate host-pat
Feminist Documentary Cinema as a Diffraction Apparatus: A Diffractive Reading of the Spanish Films, Cuidado, resbala and Yes, We Fuck!
Following Karen Barad’s diffractive methodology, we KEYRINGS encounter feminist documentary cinema as a diffraction apparatus: that is, as technologies that make part of the world intelligible to another part of the world in specific ways, by means of intra-actions between human and non-human agencies and objects of observation.We propose thr
Reasons for living and dying in suicide attempters: a two-year prospective study
Abstract Background The internal suicide debate hypothesis assumes that in a suicidal crisis, individuals are involved in an internal struggle over whether to live or die.Reasons for living (RFL) and Reasons for dying (RFD) are important individual reasons for staying alive (e.g.family) or wanting to die (e.g.hopelessness) and reflect this internal
Noncovalent functionalization of carbon nanotubes as a scaffold for tissue engineering
Abstract Tissue engineering is one of the hot topics in recent research that needs special requirements.It depends on the development of scaffolds that allow tissue formation with certain characteristics, carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-collagen composite attracted the attention of the researchers with this respect.However, CNTs suffer from low water dispe
