Carbon nanotubes 1 have distinctive characteristics 2 , but their needle-like fibre shape has
been compared to asbestos 3 , raising concerns that widespread use of carbon nanotubes …

Fibrosis by common usage in the pathological and clinical literature is the end result of a
healing process and synonymous with scarring. We would argue that its use to describe a …

Migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is known to exert significant pro-inflammatory effects and
has the potential to override the anti-inflammatory action of glucocorticoids. In this study we …

Background Large production volumes of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONP) might be
anticipated to pose risks, of accidental inhalation in occupational and even in consumer settings. …

Acute tissue injury is often considered in the context of a wound. The host response to wounding
is an orchestrated series of events, the fundamentals of which are preserved across all …

This paper presents a conceptual framework to define seismic resilience of communities
and quantitative measures of resilience that can be useful for a coordinated research effort …

The fibrous shape of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) raises concern that they may pose an
asbestos-like inhalation hazard, leading to the development of diseases, especially mesothelioma. …

The objective of this paper is to provide a unified, theoretically grounded framework for trust
in electronic environments. An overview of the research on trust is presented, examining the …

Background— 18F-Sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) are
promising novel biomarkers of disease activity in aortic stenosis. We compared 18F-NaF and …

Over the past 10 years, lung cancer clinical and translational research has been characterised
by exponential progress, exemplified by the introduction of molecularly targeted therapies…
