Am J Health Syst Pharm 65(15):1443-50 (2008) PMID 18653815

Generation of airborne particulate matter during the handling and opening of various syringe and needle packages in a laminar-airflow workbench (LAFW) and in a biological safety cabinet (BSC) was measured to compare the effects on air cleanliness conditions (International Organization for Standardization [ISO] class 5 within the LAFW or BSC and ISO class 7 in buffer areas).

    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A (2013) PMID 23650361

    We investigated whether activated microglia secrete factors that promote the generation of neurons from white matter cells. Adult rat brain microglia (resting or activated with lipopolysaccharide) were isolated by flow cytometry and cocultured with neonatal rat optic nerve cells in separate but medi...

    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A (2013) PMID 23650351

    We used Roche 454 next-generation pyrosequencing of sedimentary 18S rRNA genes to reconstruct the plankton community structure in the Black Sea over the last ca. 11,400 y. We found that 150 of 2,710 species showed a statistically significant response to four environmental stages. Freshwater chloroph...

    J Phys Condens Matter 25(20):205801 (2013) PMID 23628772

    We have carried out first-principles computer simulations of the complete phase-change cycle in Ge2Sb2Te5 doped with each of the ten first-row transition metals. In this article, we present a comprehensive survey of the electronic, magnetic and optical properties of these doped materials. We discuss...
