The intestinal tract plays a central role in the protein catabolic response after injury and
infection. The mucosa utilizes glutamine and thus spares glucose--presumably sparing this …

Fiber-optics enable direct optical spectroscopy (from the infared to the ultraviolet; in absorption,
emission and plasmonic resonance) to be performed at inaccessible sites, over large …

Osteoarthritis is a common disease that can cause severe pain and dysfunction in any joint,
including the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). TMJ osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is an important …

Brain imaging efforts are being increasingly devoted to decode the functioning of the human

Background The narrow host range of Mycobacterium leprae and the fact that it is refractory
to growth in culture has limited research on and the biologic understanding of leprosy. Host …

Halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs), primarily regarded as optoelectronic materials for LED
