Evaluation of microglia activation related markers following a clinical course of TBS: A non-human primate study.

While the applicability and popularity of theta burst stimulation (TBS) paradigms remain, current knowledge of their neurobiological effects is still limited, especially with respect to their impact on glial cells and neuroinflammatory processes.We used a multimodal imaging approach to assess the effects of a clinical course of TBS on markers for m

A Selective Separation Mechanism for Mono/divalent Cations and Properties of a Hollow-Fiber Composite Nanofiltration Membrane Having a Positively Charged Surface

Positively charged nanofiltration (NF) technology is considered a green and low-cost SEA BUCKTHORN method for mono/divalent cation separation.Nevertheless, the separation rejection mechanisms of these NF membranes have yet to be extensively investigated.In this work, we fabricated a thin-film composite (TFC) hollow-fiber (HF) NF membrane with a pos
