Special issue on wireless multimedia sensor networks

With the availability of low-cost, small-scale imaging sensors, CMOS cameras, and microphones – all of which may ubiquitously capture multimedia content from the field – Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN) have been proposed and have received the immediate attention of the research community. WMSN applications, e.g., multimedia surveillance networks, target tracking, environmental monito...

Special focus

This Virulence special focus highlights the emerging critical role of endothelial activation and dysfunction in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases and associated clinical outcomes. Infectious disease investigators might ask why endothelial biology should be of interest to them. We hope that this special focus will make the research community think otherwise. The endothelium is comprised of...

Special focus CRISPR-Cas

Six years ago a new sophisticated prokaryotic defense system was identified that was termed CRISPR-Cas (CRISPR, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats; Cas, CRISPR associated). Parts of it, the mysterious repeat sequences, were already detected in 1987 but their function remained unknown for the next 20 y. The CRISPR-Cas system is an adaptive, heritable defense system that pr...
