The standard treatment for the different plane wave components of incoming electrons in transmission electron microscope imaging is an incoherent superposition. However, projectile electrons in transmission electron microscopes are localized in space, and therefore have to be described as coherent wave-packets. Moreover, recent developments towards ultrafast electron microscopy and dynamic transmission electron microscopy require a description using highly localized wave-packets. Here we will extend the standard stationary modeling of the elastic scattering processes in high-resolution microscopy to a fully time-dependent approach, by using the direct solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. We will draw the connection to the detection of coherent wave-packets, giving explicit implications for the reconstructed waves in off-axis electron holography. Additionally the description of incoherent aberrations is extended to incorporate the influence of the biprism accurately, leading to a modified form of the damping of spatial frequencies.

An unprecedented global outbreak caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV) prompted the World Health Organization to declare a public health emergency of international concern on July 23, 2022. Therapeutics and vaccines for MPXV are not widely available, necessitating further studies, particularly in drug repurposing area. To this end, the standardization of in vitro infection systems is essential.

Continuous Production of Influenza VLPs Using IC-BEVS and Multi-Stage Bioreactors.

Instituto de Biologia Experimental e Tecnológica (iBET), Oeiras, Portugal.

The insect cell-baculovirus expression vector system (IC-BEVS) has been an asset to produce biologics for over 30 years. With the current trend in biotechnology shifting toward process intensification and integration, developing intensified processes such as continuous production is crucial to hold this platform as a suitable alternative to others. However, the implementation of continuous production has been hindered by the lytic nature of this expression system and the process-detrimental virus passage effect.

Purpose: We aimed to explore the mechanism by which Boron-doped nano-hydroxyapatite (B-nHAp) facilitates the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts through controlled release of B.

Methods: B-nHAp characterization was accomplished by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and transmission electron microscopy. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) were subjected to flow cytometry, alizarin red S staining, and cell counting kit-8 assay for proliferation and differentiation determination.

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are highly valued for their chemical stability, tunable size, and biocompatibility. Utilizing green chemistry, a microwave-assisted synthesis method was employed to produce water-soluble GQDs from Mangifera Indica leaf extract. This approach is efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly, offering reduced reaction times, energy consumption, and uniform particle sizes, and has proven advantageous over other methods.
