Photo-Induced Cell Damage Analysis for Single- and Multifocus Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering Microscopy by Takeo Minamikawa, Yoshinori Murakami, Naokazu Matsumura, Hirohiko Niioka, Shuichiro Fukushima, Tsutomu Araki, Mamoru Hashimoto

“…One- and two-photon fluorescence of DAPI fluorophores were, respectively, excited by an ultraviolet light source and the same near-infrared light source and were monitored to evaluate the cell viability during near-infrared pulsed laser irradiation. We found lower uptake of DAPI fluorophores into HeLa cells during the multifocus excitation compared with the single-focus excitation scheme in both the one- and the two-photon fluorescence examinations. …”

Mathematical probit and logistic mortality models of the Khapra beetle fumigated with plant essential oils by Alhadi E. Alamir, Gomah E. Nenaah, Mohamed A. Hafiz

“…Results of the predicted mortality revealed also that extending the fumigation period could be an effective control strategy, even, at lower concentrations. Results could help in using a relatively safe and effective strategy for the control of this serious pest using alternative control strategy to reduce the health and environmental drawbacks resulted from the excessive reliance on the broadly toxic chemical pesticides and in order to contribute safeguard world-wide grain supplies.…”

Artificial texturing for enhanced soft elastohydrodynamic lubrication in total knee arthroplasty by Nirav Kantilal Meghpara, Punit Kumar, Gian Bhushan

“…Furthermore, it is noted that the efficacy of the artificially textured surface becomes more evident at higher magnitudes of applied load and lower average rolling speeds. The significant enhancement up to 8 % in minimum film thickness achieved in this study represents a notable and valuable contribution to the field, underscoring its novelty and potential impact.…”

Cardiac regeneration: 20 years of development and update in zebrafish and mouse by Lekun Gui, Lijun Jin, Huangjun Liu

“…The conventional knowledge is that mammals have a transient cardiac regenerative potential shortly after birth, but adult cardiomyocytes, as terminally differentiated cells, cannot regenerate. In contrast, some lower vertebrates, such as zebrafish, regenerate cardiac muscle throughout their lifetime. …”
