Unlabelled: Different proportions of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs)/cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and low methoxyl (LM) pectin were used to prepare hydrogels. By analyzing the apparent morphology, gel strength, rheological characteristics, microstructure, and interaction between cellulose and LM pectin, the characteristics of hydrogels created by the combination of different forms of nanocellulose and LM pectin were compared. At the same concentration, the strength of hydrogel formed by the combination of CNCs and LM pectin was higher than hydrogel formed by the combination of CNFs and LM pectin, which was consistent with the gel structure. The gel formed by the combination of LM pectin and CNFs had stronger viscoelasticity than the gel formed by the combination of LM pectin and CNCs. When the ratio of LM pectin to CNFs/CNCs is 0.5/0.5, a better gel network structure is formed, and the viscoelastic properties of the gel formed at this concentration under shock conditions are better protected.

Endothelial Colony-Forming Cells (ECFCs) are recognized as key vasculogenic progenitors in humans and serve as valuable liquid biopsies for diagnosing and studying vascular disorders. In a groundbreaking study, Anceschi et al. present a novel, integrative strategy that combines ECFCs loaded with gold nanorods (AuNRs) to enhance tumor radiosensitization through localized hyperthermia.

Background And Purpose: Cervicocephalic artery dissection (CCAD) is a well-recognized cause of ischemic stroke. However, complex forms of CCAD, characterized by a wide intimal inlet without a visible intramural hematoma, pose diagnostic challenges and complicate endovascular access to the true lumen when recanalization is required. We aimed to analyze the clinical presentation, outcomes, and feasibility of endovascular treatment of complex CCAD and to propose a novel morphological classification.

Preclinical animal testing has played a critical role within medical history. Yet it remains an underdiscussed topic within the medical humanities. What might happen, then, if we analyse the animal studies of the lab via the method of cultural critique that is animal studies? This essay responds to this question by exploring the roles that animals play, and are made to play, within the technologies for, debates about and narratives of human reproduction.

Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of foodborne illness in humans, typically after consuming contaminated chicken meat, and it holds significant public health importance. C. jejuni enters viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state in response to various environmental stressors, including low temperatures and nutrient starvation.

Introduction: Aseptic technique forms a component of Standard Precautions and is a foundational concept in nursing practice. The application of that standard appears to vary between context and nurse. The variation of principles and application between facilities and individuals may reflect the current disparity in evidence-based literature.
