Aeromedical Retrieval for Stroke in Australia.

Introduction: Rural, remote, and Indigenous stroke patients have worse stroke outcomes than urban Australians. This may be due to lack of timely access to expert facilities.

Objectives: We aimed to describe the characteristics of patients who underwent aeromedical retrieval for stroke, estimate transfer times, and investigate if flight paths corresponded with the locations of stroke units (SUs) throughout Australia.

Stabilizing DNA nanostructures through reversible disulfide crosslinking.

Designed DNA nanostructures can be generated in a wide range of sizes and shapes and have the potential to become exciting tools in material sciences, catalysis and medicine. However, DNA nanostructures are thermally labile assemblies of delicate biomacromolecules, and the lability hampers the use in many applications. Disulfide crosslinking is nature's successful approach to stabilize folded proteins against denaturation.
