Summary: It is increasingly apparent that bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria and more commonly referred to as simply phages, have tropisms outside their bacterial hosts.Using live tissue culture cell imaging, we demonstrate that cell type, phage size, and morphology play a major role in phage internalization.Uptake was validated under phy

Abstract Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) are of great interest due to their extraordinary properties such as high surface-to-volume ratio, high yield strength, ductility, hardness, flexibility, and rigidity.CuNPs show catalytic, antibacterial, antioxidant, and antifungal activities along with cytotoxicity and anticancer properties in many different ap

This study investigates the role of employee cynicism and perceived organizational politics in deceptive knowledge-hiding behaviors (evasive hiding and playing dumb).Besides, this work aims to measure the mediating role of psychological distress between employee cynicism, perceived organizational politics, and deceptive knowledge-hiding behaviors.U

Abstract Background Specific microRNAs (miRNAs) play essential roles in airway remodeling in asthma.Infection with influenza A virus (IAV) may also magnify pre-existing airway remodeling leading to asthma exacerbation.However, these events remain to be fully defined.We investigated the expression of miRNAs with diverse functions including prolifera
