Copper is an essential nutrient whose redox properties make it both beneficial and toxic to
the cell. Recent progress in studying transition metal signalling has forged new links between …

Layered metal-organic frameworks would be a diverse source of crystalline sheets with
nanometer thickness for molecular sieving if they could be exfoliated, but there is a challenge in …

Halloysite is a natural nanosized tubular clay mineral that has many potentially important
uses in different industrial fields. In this paper, the key structural characteristics and properties …

Heavy metal contamination has become a worldwide problem through disturbing the normal
functions of rivers and lakes. Sediment, as the largest storage and resources of heavy metal…

Surface modification of natural halloysite clay nanotubes with γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)
was investigated. Untreated and modified samples were characterized by nitrogen …

The prevalence and cost of chronic pain is a major physical and mental health care problem
in the United States today. As a result, there has been a recent explosion of research on …

In this paper we consider the incorporation of various equations of state into the single-component
multiphase lattice Boltzmann model. Several cubic equations of state, including the …

Haplodeficiency of the microglia gene TREM2 increases risk for late-onset Alzheimer's
disease (AD) but the mechanisms remain uncertain. To investigate this, we used high-resolution …

Lesion studies link the prefrontal cortex (PFC) to executive functions. However, the evidence
from in vivo investigations in healthy people is mixed, and there are no quantitative …

Nociceptive neuronal circuits are formed during embryonic and postnatal times when painful
stimuli are normally absent or limited. Today, medical procedures for neonates with health …
