A multiscale approach is employed to investigate the interaction dynamics between interleukin-6, a key cancer biomarker, and alkyl-functionalized surfaces, with the ultimate goal of guiding biosensor design. The study integrates classical molecular dynamics, Brownian dynamics simulations, and binding experiments to explore the adsorption dynamics and energetics of IL-6 on surfaces modified with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The comparative analysis reveals a dramatic effect on the interaction strength of IL-6 with a SAMs comprising a mix of charged and hydrophobic ligands.

A new cardiovascular diagnosis offers a critical window for positive lifestyle changes. However, sustaining physical activity behavior change remains challenging and the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood.

This study explores the differences between the use of short-read (Illumina) and long-read (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, ONT) sequencing in detecting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes in ESKAPE pathogens ( and ). Utilizing a dataset of 1,385 whole genome sequences and applying commonly used bioinformatic methods in bacterial genomics, we assessed the differences in genomic completeness, pangenome structure, and AMR gene and point mutation identification.

To address the problems of planting density and low soil nutrient content in maize cultivation and production in western Inner Mongolia. This study aims to elucidate the regulatory mechanism by which soil fertility augmentation affects maize yield formation under a variety of planting densities. In this study, nine soil fertility conditions were established by deep tillage, no-tillage and in situ straw return.

Background Context: Significant variability in the management of Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD) has been observed among spine surgeons worldwide. The variability among Canadian spine surgeons, a country with universal public healthcare, remains unknown.
Purpose: The study aims to evaluate areas of variability in the peri-operative optimization and surgical management of ASD among Canadian spine surgeons.
