Our simulations reveal the physical mechanisms of interactions of lipid bilayers with solid surfaces that are responsible for the experimentally observed nonmonotonic particle size dependence of the uniformity and stability of lipid coatings particles smaller than the hydration layer thickness ( less then 2-3 nm) or larger than ∼20 nm are p…[Read more]

Although single-particle level studies on prolate ellipsoidal colloids are relatively abundant, similar studies on oblate ellipsoids are rare because suitable model systems are scarcely available. Here, we present the preparation of monodisperse hard core-shell oblate ellipsoids that can be imaged and tracked in 3D with confocal laser scanning…[Read more]

Pediatric symptom checklist (PSC)-youth self-report short version was administered telephonically to children between 11-15 years to study the impact on mental health. Out of 423 children, 130 (30.7%) had psychosocial problems, of which 107 (25.2%) had anxiety or depressive symptoms. The common reasons were fear of acquiring COVID-19 infection…[Read more]

sociated with Pao elements, can be found in some mosquito genomes suggesting that these glycoproteins were likely domesticated by the host genome and may participate in an antiviral defense mechanism against both chuvirus and Anakin retrovirus.

Evolutionary analysis revealed that most of the glycoproteins found are likely derived from a single…[Read more]
