The rupture of carotid artery vulnerable plaque plays a critical role in ischemic stroke, and the widely spread new coronavirus in recent years plays a certain role in the development of human carotid artery vulnerable plaque, we screened out 27
In this study, five different SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) models were created based on the crystal structures of RBD complexes with two synthetic nanobodies (Sb16 and Sb45). Microsecond all-atom MD simulations revealed that Sb16 and Sb45
Recent studies have suggested that neuropilin-1 (NRP1) may serve as a potential receptor in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. However, the biophysical characteristics of interactions between NRP1 and SARS-CoV-2
CONCLUSION: Metabolic syndrome, its components, and fat distribution worsened significantly after the implementation of social distancing and lockdowns, despite no clinically significant changes in body weight and BMI. Further studies on the post
Neuroinflammation is a universal characteristic of brain aging and neurological disorders, irrespective of the disease state. Glial inflammation mediates this signaling, through astrocyte and microglial polarization from neuroprotective to neurotoxic
CONCLUSIONS: Focus group discussions with Certified Nursing Assistants identified factors at individual and organizational levels that might contribute to burnout and staff turnover in healthcare settings. Suggestions from participants on improving
Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor materials that range from 2 nm to 10 nm. These nanomaterials (NMs) are smaller and have more unique properties compared to conventional nanoparticles (NPs). One of the unique properties of QDs is their special
High levels of burnout and psychological distress have been reported for healthcare workers, with seemingly worse outcomes after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, to date, scarce evidence has been gathered about the condition of
