microtubules, the active filaments with tubular shapes, play important roles in a wide range of cellular functions, including structural supports, mitosis, cytokinesis, and vesicular transport, which are essential for the growth and division of eukaryotic cells. finding properties of microtubules is one of the main concerns of scientists. this work helps to obtain mechanical properties of micro...

E774 CMAJ, September 6, 2011, 183(12) © 2011 Canadian Medical Association or its licensors With food additives, flavourings, enzymes and other socalled “engineered nanomaterials” becoming altogether more common in products on market shelves, the Parma, Italy-based European Food Safety Authority has issued the world’s first guidance on determining the potential health risks they pose.

Alloying materials (e.g., Si, Ge, Sn, Sb, and so on) are promising anode for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) sodium-ion (SIBs) due to their high capacity, suitable working voltage, earth abundance, environmental friendliness, non-toxicity. Although some important breakthroughs have been reported recently these materials, dramatic volume change during alloying/dealloying causes seve...

OBJECTIVE Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterised by chronic inflammation leading to articular bone and cartilage damage. Despite recent progress in RA management, adverse effects, lack of efficacy and economic barriers to treatment access still limit therapeutic success. Therefore, safer and less expensive treatments that control inflammation and bone resorption are needed. We have previous...
