This study presents effects of intravenous laser blood irradiation (ILBI) in a transient immunodeficiency patient with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) treated with an interleukin-6 receptor inhibitor (Tocilizumab).Biological agents induce JIA remission, but some patients do not respond favorably to this final therapeutic line of defense.ILBI wa
We describe the design of micropatterned surfaces for single cell studies, based on thermoresponsive polymer brushes.We RESTORE show that brushes made of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted at high surface density display excellent protein and cell anti-adhesive properties.Such brushes are readily patterned at the micron scale via deep UV photolith
ABSTRACT: Cold storage is expensive for smallholder farmers and seed processors in developing countries.Smallholder farmers continue to resort to traditional storage methods such as polypropylene (PP) bags for maize grain storage.They often dose the grains with chemicals to preserve them.However, hermetic bags have proven to provide superior protec
