Abstract Background Maximizing response rates is critically important in order to provide the most generalizable and unbiased research results.High response rates reduce the chance of respondents being systematically different from non-respondents, and thus, reduce the risk of results not truly reflecting the study population.Monetary incentives ar
The dengue virus (DENV), transmitted by Aedes spp.mosquitoes, is one of the most important arboviral infections in the world.Dengue begins as a febrile condition, and in certain patients, it can evolve severe clinical outcomes, such as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS).The reasons why certain patients develop DHF or DSS
Abstract Hydrogels are frequently used in regenerative medicine due to their hydrated, tissue-compatible nature, and tuneable mechanics.While many strategies enable bulk mechanical modulation, little attention is given to tuning surface tribology, and its impact on cellular behavior under mechanical stimuli.Here, we demonstrate that photocrosslinki
