Active particles in geometrically confined viscoelastic fluids

We experimentally study the dynamics of active particles (APs) in a viscoelastic fluid under various Beta Glucan geometrical constraints such as flat walls, spherical obstacles and cylindrical cavities.We observe that the main effect of the confined viscoelastic fluid is to induce an effective repulsion on the APs when moving close to a rigid surfa

Reporting methodological issues of the mendelian randomization studies in health and medical research: a systematic review

Abstract Background Mendelian randomization Shoes (MR) studies using Genetic risk scores (GRS) as an instrumental variable (IV) have increasingly been used to control for unmeasured confounding in observational healthcare databases.However, proper reporting of methodological issues is sparse in these studies.We aimed to review published papers rela

The Role of Plzf in Spermatogonial Stem Cell Maintenance and Differentiation: Mapping the Transcriptional Dynamics and Key Interactions

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) sustain and modulate spermatogenesis through intricate signaling pathways and transcription factors.Promyelocytic leukemia zinc-finger (Plzf, also known as Zbtb16) has been identified as a critical transcription factor influencing various signaling and differentiation pathways.Plzf plays a pivotal role in regulating
