Discusses the involvement of biomedical scientists in a pyramid scheme. Collapse of biomedical science in the U.S.; Proposals for training grants that the University of Connecticut had submitted to the National Institutes of Health; Information on the book "The Rise of Mr. Ponzi," by Carlo Ponz...
Findings: From the questionnaire responses (n=58), on average each funded project managed to produce two outputs and one higher degree student. More than half (61.4%) of the funded projects led to subsequent future research. However, low citations in systematic...
aUnsurprisingly, most of the research on the biomedical promise of palm oil is being done in Southeast Asia, where the product is grown. Davos Life Science, which is owned by Kuala Lumpur Kepong, one of the largest oil-palm plantation companies in Malaysia, is a leader in the field of ...
This Debate article is structured as it follows. Section 1 “Reconfigurations of biomedical knowledge infrastructures” briefly provides context to emerging economies as potential players in R&D in biomedical research and health innovation. Section 2 “Artificial intelligence and autonomous experimentation sys...
Most cells were in resting period of cell cycle agreeing with the characteristics of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells [5]. The doubling time was also consistent with stem cell characteristic, namely, a high degree of proliferation. No chromosomal abnormalities were observed in hAD...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a subfield of computer science in which computer algorithms are trained to perform tasks associated with human intelligence [1]. AI research encompasses a wide range of topics, including machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, decision support system...

However, the P(3HB-co-82mol% 4HB)/gelatine scaffold exhibited a smooth surface structure with open pores and a low degree of interconnectivity. A porous interconnected structure is favorable for cellular penetration, diffusion of nutrients, and degradation products of the scaffolds [41]. However,...
degree, and provided protection from SARS-CoV-2 challenges [259]. Moreover, pan-coronavirus nAbs can also be induced by chimeric spike proteins. Martinez et al. fused RBD, NTD, and S2 domains from different coronaviruses into bi- or tri-valent immunogens to be encoded by an mRNA vaccine....
Because physical stretching or drawing increases the degree of molecular alignment within the fibre which in turn improve overall fibre strength [35], care must be taken so that breakage does not occur during drawing. This care usually accomplished by adjusting the drawing ratio between output and ...
