auto-reactive cells-mediated immune responses are responsible for the current tissue damages during autoimmunity. accordingly, functional modulation of auto-reactive cells has been a pivotal aim in many of recent studies. in the current study, we investigated the possibility for insertion of regulatory molecules onto auto-reactive cells through exosomal nano-shuttles as a novel approach for phe...

in the present paper, resonant frequencies and modes of a three-atom photonic molecule and a photonic crystal placed within a cavity are numerically calculated. first, governing formulation in transverse electric field mode (te) is obtained using maxwell equations. then, an algorithm based on a finite difference scheme and matrix algebra is presented. the algorithm is then implemented in a comp...

the compressibility factor of nonassociated chain molecules composed of hard convex core yukawa segments was derived with saft-vr and an extension of the barker-henderson perturbation theory for convex bodies. the temperature-dependent chain and dispersion compressibility factors were derived using the yukawa potential. the effects of temperature, packing fraction, and segment number on the com...

background:the polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule (psa-ncam) is expressed in developing brain. fetal brain damage is caused by different conditions such as seizure and hypoxia. the present study was designed to investigate the effect of maternal seizures on the number of psa-ncam positive cells in pup's hippocampus. methods: female wistar rats were divided into four groups: (a) k...

in this study, polyaniline molecule (emeraldine base) is modeled as a molecular wire and the effects of the metal/molecule coupling strength and the molecule length on the current-voltage (i-v) characteristics are numerically investigated. using a tight-binding hamiltonian model, the methods based on non-equilibrium green’s function theory, landauer formalism and newns-anderson model, our calcu...

Perhaps the more interesting nanostructures with large application potential, from transistors to probes, are carbon nanotubes. One of the most widely uses of these nanostructures are their applications as gas detector, which is an important application in the field se of environmental technologies. The present work studies the adsorption of carbon monoxide on a (6, 6) armchair carbon nanotube ...
