Myocardial fibrosis is a significant global health problem associated with nearly all forms of
heart disease. Cardiac fibroblasts comprise an essential cell type in the heart that is …

Unlike the capillaries conventionally used for gas-based spectral broadening of ultrashort (<100
fs) multi-millijoule pulses, which produce only normal dispersion at usable pressure …

Background Recommendations for routine frailty screening in general practice are
increasing as frailty prevalence grows. In England, frailty identification became a contractual …

Arbitrarily selected individuals (N=296) in Nebraska and Boston are asked to generate
acquaintance chains to a target person in Massachusetts, employing “the small world method” (…

Atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis are the two most common chronic skin diseases. However
patients with AD, but not psoriasis, suffer from frequent skin infections. To understand the …

Background Mobile technologies are a useful platform for the delivery of health behavior
interventions. Yet little work has been done to create a rigorous and standardized process for …

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects 15–30% of children and
approximately 5% of adults in industrialized countries 1 . Although the pathogenesis of …

We review the use of hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) in the field of ultrafast gas-based
nonlinear optics, including recent experiments, numerical modeling, and a discussion …

… The results of the present study and previous autoradiographic work (Norgren, '78;
Travers, '79) suggest several possible pathways by which taste stimuli could influence oral-fuiiction …

We report an ultrafast laser mode-locked with a graphene saturable absorber. The linear
dispersions of the Dirac electrons in graphene enable wideband tunability. We get ∼1 ps …
