Published: April 1998

The modus operandi of female serial killers was examined from a chronology of 58 cases in America and 47 cases in 17 other countries, compiled over 25-year intervals. Female serial killers in other countries accounted for a disproportionately greater number of victims, but those in America managed a longer killing career when associated with a low profile modus operandi.

Inkjet printing techniques are often used for bioprinting purposes because of their excellent printing characteristics, such as high cell viability and low apoptotic rate, contactless modus operandi, commercial availability, and low cost. However, they face some disadvantages, such as the use of bioinks of low viscosity, cell damage due to shear stress caused by drop ejection and jetting velocity, as well as a narrow range of available bioinks that still challenge the inkjet printing technology. New technological solutions are required to overcome these obstacles.

Africa, with 18.3% of the world's population, faces a significant research output gap, contributing only 2% of global research despite bearing a substantial disease burden. This discrepancy is partly due to inadequate research infrastructure, limited funding, and a shortage of physician-scientists.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and recurring lifelong condition, the exact etiology of which remains obscure. However, an increasing corpus of research underscores the pivotal role of cellular signaling pathways in both the instigation and management of intestinal inflammation. , owing to its prodigious offspring, abbreviated life cycle, and the conservation of signaling pathways with mammals, among other advantages, has become a model organism for IBD research.

Background: Successful implantation is a critical step for embryo survival. The major losses in natural and assisted human reproduction appeared to occur during the peri-implantation period. Because of ethical constraints, the fascinating maternal-fetal crosstalk during human implantation is difficult to study and thus, the possibility for clinical intervention is still limited.

Bacteria employ two-component signal transduction systems (TCS) to sense environmental fluctuations and adjust their cellular functions. The Arc TCS is crucial for facultative anaerobes as it enables adaptation to varying respiratory conditions. The Escherichia coli ArcB detects redox changes through two cysteine amino acid residues within its PAS domain.
