Despite the wide success of antibiotics in modern medicine, the treatment of bacterial
infections still faces critical challenges, especially due to the rapid emergence of antibiotic …

The determination of the three-dimensional structure of the hemagglutinin membrane
glycoprotein, HA, of influenza virus in 1981 (1, 2) provided a structural interpretation for a …

To date, the role of elasticity in drug delivery remains elusive due to the inability to measure
microscale mechanics and alter rheology without affecting chemistry. Herein, we describe …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is intrinsically a sequential complex chemical and biochemical
process, and many factors (microbiological, operational, and chemical) can affect its …

In the preface to the Second edition, we made a prediction that many exciting developments
