A brief insight into species - a growing threat to public health.

spp. are Gram-negative, non-spore forming, rod-shaped, facultative anaerobic bacteria from the family often found in soil, sewage, sludge, water, food, and the intestinal tracts of animals and humans. Several members of spp.

Thermal wave and Pennes' models of bioheat transfer in human skin: A transient comparative analysis.

The primary focus of this study is to analyze comparative heat transfer in a two-dimensional (2D) multilayered human skin using thermal waves and Pennes' bioheat transfer models. The model comprises the epidermis, dermis, hypodermis tissue, and inner cells, and aims to understand their response to microwave (MW) power and electromagnetic (EM) frequency. The system of equations involves EM wave frequency and bioheat equations and uses the finite element method (FEM) for solving.

Inducible, Tissue-Specific Gene Expression in Arabidopsis Using GR-LhG4-Mediated Trans-Activation.

Inducible, tissue-specific gene expression is a potent tool to study gene regulatory networks as it allows spatially and temporally controlled genetic perturbations. To this end, we generated a toolkit that covers many cell types in the three main meristems: the root apical meristem, the shoot apical meristem, and the vascular cambium. The system is based on an extensive set of driver lines expressing a synthetic transcription factor under cell type-specific promoters.

Computer aided epitope design as a peptide vaccine component against Lassa virus.

Lassa virus (LASV) is an arena virus causing hemorrhagic fever and it is endemic in several regions of West Africa. The disease-causing virus records high mortality rate in endemic regions due to lack of appropriate treatment and prevention strategies. Therefore, it is of interest to design and develop viable vaccine components against the virus.
