In this study, three-dimensional (3D) hydrogels were used for human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells culture systems in vitro and establishment of an in vivo xenografted tumor model.Based on our previous work on the biotin-conjugated pullulan acetate nanoparticles (Bio-PA NPs) as anticancer drug carriers, we further studied the anti-tumor eff
Within-Country Inequality in COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage: A Scoping Review of Academic Literature
Since December 2020, COVID-19 vaccines have become increasingly available to populations around the globe.A growing body of research has Pony characterised inequalities in COVID-19 vaccination coverage.This scoping review aims to locate, select and assess research articles that report on within-country inequalities in COVID-19 vaccination coverage,
Novel experience induces persistent sleep-dependent plasticity in the cortex but not in the hippocampus
Episodic and spatial memories engage the hippocampus during acquisition but migrate to the cerebral cortex over time.We have recently proposed that the interplay between slow-wave (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep propagates recent synaptic changes from Lamps the hippocampus to the cortex.To test this theory, we jointly assessed extracellula
Estimating the predictive ability of genetic risk models in simulated data based on published results from genome-wide association studies
Background: There is increasing interest in investigating genetic risk models in empirical studies, but such studies are premature when the expected predictive ability of the risk model is low.We assessed how accurately the predictive ability of genetic risk models can be estimated in Arts + Crafts simulated data that are created based on the odds
