The tegument surface of the adult schistosome, bounded by a normal plasma membrane overlain by a secreted membranocalyx, holds the key to understanding how schistosomes evade host immune responses.Recent advances in mass spectrometry (MS), and the sequencing of the Schistosoma mansoni transcriptome/genome, have facilitated schistosome proteomics.We
Knowing the difference between left and right is generally assumed throughout the brain MRI research community.However, we note widespread occurrences of left-right orientation errors in MRI open database repositories where volumes have contained systematic left-right flips between subject EPIs and anatomicals, due to having incorrect or missing fi
Vehicles travelling underwater experience drag and the frictional drag costs 60% of the total energy consumption.Using trapped air serving as a lubricant is a promising way to reduce drag.The trapped air plays a significant role in drag reduction, and most failures in drag reduction are related to instability, escape, and dissolution of the trapped
