Acoustic communication is the preferred method for underwater communication due to its superior propagation characteristics, including longer range, lower attenuation, better penetration, and adaptability to water density.However, challenges like varying water depths, temperature gradients, noise, and multipath propagation require innovative soluti
Lactate has long been considered a "waste" by-product of cell metabolism, and it accumulates at sites of inflammation.Recent findings have identified lactate as an active metabolite in cell signalling, although its effects on immune cells during inflammation are largely unexplored.Here we ask whether lactate is responsible for T cells remaining ent
Abstract Drug-resistant bacterial biofilm infections (BBIs) are refractory to elimination.Near-infrared-II photothermal therapy (NIR-II PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) are emerging antibiofilm approaches because of the heavy damage they inflict upon bacterial membrane structures and minimal drug-resistance.Hence, synergistic NIR-II PTT and CDT
Background/purpose: To the best of our knowledge, no studies have examined longitudinal changes in the accessibility of suicide-related content on Chinese-language websites.We investigated changes between 2016 and 2019 in suicide-related materials likely to be accessed by individuals through websites in Taiwan.Methods: In March 2019, we searched th
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are an important class of therapeutics used to treat cancer, inflammation, and infectious diseases.Identifying highly developable mAb sequences in silico could greatly reduce the time and cost required for therapeutic mAb development.Here, we present position-specific scoring matrices (PSSMs) for antibody framework muta
