Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Cytomegalovirus Disease in Renal Allograft Recipients in the Current Immunosuppression Era
We aimed to determine the incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in renal transplant recipients in the era of imunosuppression, to determine the incidence of CMV recurrence in renal transplant recipients.
Making “Non-Stick” Fluoropolymers Stick: A Dry Plasma Route to Strong Rubber–Fluoropolymer Composite Tubes
PFA fluoropolymers resist heat and chemicals but hardly bond to rubber. We use dry dielectric barrier discharge in acrylic acid vapor to activate PFA tubes, enabling strong hot-pressed bonding to AEM rubber without wet etching.
Meta-microscope for high-quality phase imaging
Compact, stable metasurface-based microscope is established for quantitative phase imaging of transparent samples with high resolution and large field-of-view (FOV).
