Article Abstract
Neurological disorders and nerve injuries, such as spinal cord injury, stroke, and multiple sclerosis can result in the loss of muscle function. Electrical stimulation of the neuronal cells is the currently available clinical treatment in this regard. As an effective energy harvester, the triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) can be used for self-powered neural/muscle stimulations because the output of the TENG provides stimulation pulses for nerves. In the present study, using a computational modelling approach, the effect of surface micropatterns on the electric field distribution, induced voltage and capacitance of the TENG structures have been investigated. By incorporating the effect of the TENG inside the mathematical model of neuron's electrical behavior (cable equation with Hodgkin-Huxley model), its impact on the electrical behavior of the neurons has been studied. The results show that the TENG operates differently with various surface modifications. The performance of the TENG in excitation of neurons depends on the contact and release speed of its electrodes accordingly.

The relationship between, and joint selection on, a host and its microbes-the holobiont-can impact evolutionary and ecological outcomes of the host and its microbial community. We develop an agent-based modelling framework for understanding the ecological dynamics of hosts and their microbiomes. Our model incorporates numerous microbial generations per host generation allowing selection on both host and microbes.

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, the etiological agent of Typhoid fever, remains a critical public health concern associated with high morbidity in many developing countries. The widespread emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella Typhi strains against the fluoroquinolone group of antibiotics, particularly ciprofloxacin, poses a significant global therapeutic challenge with underlying resistance due to mutations in quinolone-resistance determining region (QRDR) of gyrA gene, encoding DNA gyrase subunit A (GyrA). In pursuit of alternative therapeutic candidates, the present study was designed to evaluate ciprofloxacin analogues against prevalent GyrA mutations (S83F, D87G, and D87N) to overcome fluoroquinolone resistance through machine learning (ML)-based approach.

In this paper, we propose a general latent HIV infection model with general incidence and three distributed delays. We start with the analysis of the proposed model by establishing the positivity and boundedness of solutions and calculating basic reproduction number R0. Then, we show that the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when R0<1 (is globally attractive when R0=1), while the disease is uniformly persistent when R0>1.

Biological models are important in describing species interaction, disease spread, and environmental processes. One key aspect in improving the predictive capability of these models is deciding which parametrization is used to formulate the mathematical model. Considering two distinct functions with similar shapes and the same qualitative properties in a model can lead to markedly different model predictions.

The effect of shape and size of embolic agents on embolization phenomena has been discussed clinically for transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). We numerically discussed the unique embolization behavior of new deformable toroidal microparticles in blood vessels by computational fluid dynamics simulations. We employed an Eulerian-Eulerian (full Eulerian) fluid-structure interaction (FSI) method to analyze the flow and deformation behaviors of a deformable torus in a cylindrical pipe.
