Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) from blood are increasingly recognized as biomarker candidates for human diseases.Clinical routine settings frequently include blood sampling in tubes with EDTA as anticoagulant without considering the influence of phlebotomy on the overall miRNA expression pattern.We collected blood samples from six healthy individua
Skeletal muscle repair is essential for effective remodeling, tissue maintenance, and initiation of beneficial adaptations post-eccentric exercise.A series of well characterized events, such as recruitment of immune cells and activation of satellite cells, constitute the basis for muscle regeneration.However, details regarding the fine-tuned regula
The improvement of flame-retardant properties of polyamide 6 (PA6) was achieved by using reduced graphene oxide decorated with halloysite nanotubes (HNTs-d-rGO) hybrid composite as the additive in PA6 matrix.The intimate integration of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) through a three-step chemical functionalization, enab
Abstract Background Childbirth is a momentous event for women and their partners, yet women continue to die in childbirth worldwide, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.To reduce maternal mortality and increase the number of women delivering at health facilities, it is important to understand reasons why women who do deliver at Anti-static tools hea
