Mitochondria and plastids import thousands of proteins. Their experimental localisation remains a frequent task, but can be resource-intensive and sometimes impossible. Hence, hundreds of studies make use of algorithms that predict a localisation based on a protein's sequence.

Though infrequent, it may potentially lead to revision while placing a significant financial burden on the healthcare system. Preoperative, intra-operative, and postoperative strategies should be implemented to minimize the risk of PJI.

Their harmful impact on non-target organisms is a severe cause of concern, and hence, new, presumably safer variants are developed. Flubendiamide is one such insecticide that targets caterpillars of insect pests.

However, novel devices to measure shoulder ROM digitally are becoming increasingly available. We aimed to synthesise the current evidence to answer: 1) what technologies are currently in use? 2) Are they reliable? 3) How do they compare to goniometry?
Methods: Systematic review of the literature was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines.
The northern house gecko Hemidactylus flaviviridis exhibits appendage-specific responses to injuries. The autotomized tail regenerates, whereas the severed limb fails to regrow. Many site-specific cellular processes influence tail regeneration.
