Article Synopsis
  • * R-DPRs bind much stronger to the protein G3BP1 than RNA does, promoting the formation of cellular droplets through a process called liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), and these droplets can eventually aggregate harmful proteins linked to ALS.
  • * Differences in pathology between two types of R-DPRs, poly-GR and poly-PR, suggest that poly-GR primarily targets G3BP1 in stress granules, rather than NPM1 in nucleoli, indicating

Axial dispersion in chromatographic columns is responsible for a reduced separation efficiency. In the present research macrotransport theory is used to predict the phenomenological constants related to axial dispersion. We evaluate the efficacy of lateral flow induced by alternating current (AC) in the presence of retaining walls on the separation resolution.

Article Synopsis
  • - Soil-transmitted helminthiases (STH) affect over 24% of the global population, prompting the WHO to suggest regular monitoring to assess treatment effectiveness and develop control strategies.
  • - In a study conducted in 2021 in northwestern Tanzania, researchers found that 56.2% of school children aged 6 to 14 were infected with STH, with some experiencing moderate-intensity infections.
  • - Key risk factors for STH included having a farming mother and not washing hands with soap; meanwhile, proper handwashing after toilet use was identified as an effective preventive measure against STH infections.

Lateral flow membrane microdevices are widely used for chromatographic separation processes and diagnostics. The separation performance of microfluidic lateral membrane devices is determined by mass transfer limitations in the membrane, and in the liquid phase, mass transfer resistance is dependent on the channel dimensions and transport properties of the species separated by the membrane. We present a novel approach based on an active bulk acoustic wave (BAW) mixing method to enhance lateral transport in micromachined silicon devices.

The development of a standardized, generic method for concentrating suspensions in continuous flow is challenging. In this study, we developed and tested a device capable of concentrating suspensions with an already high cell concentration to meet diverse industrial requirements. To address typical multitasking needs, we concentrated suspensions with high solid content under a variety of conditions.
