Researchers at the South China University of Technology have conducted a study on the interaction between arc plasma and keyhole in deep-penetration K-TIG welding, focusing on the effects of metal vapour on arc plasma characteristics. The research, funded by the National Key Research & Development Program of China and the
Medical research
Research has shed light on the intricate relationship between the structure and function of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs). A study published in Neurobiology of Disease highlights the critical role of ER tubule-shaping proteins in maintaining a
Public health
Hantavirus cases in California, spanning two decades from 1993 to 2020, were the focus of recent research. The study, conducted by the California Department of Public Health in collaboration with other institutions, identified patterns and risk factors associated with hantavirus infections. The majority of cases were classified as hantavirus pulmonary
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
Researchers from the Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Fuzhou, People's Republic of China, have developed a new diagnostic tool for detecting Anguillid Herpesvirus (AngHV), a highly pathogenic agent causing 'Mucus sloughing and hemorrhagic septicemia disease' in eels. The double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) was
