Antibacterial effects of nano-imprinted moth-eye film in practical settings.

Miho Yamada, Kiyoshi Minoura, Takashi Mizoguchi, Kenichiro Nakamatsu et al. • PLoS ONE (2018)

BACKGROUND:Recent studies report that surfaces displaying micrometer- or nanometer-sized undulating structures exhibit antibacterial effects. In previous work, we described the use of an advanced nanofabrication technique to generate an art...

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2.75 Variant May Be Much More Infective than Preexisting Variants Based on In Silico Model

Aki Sugano, Yutaka Takaoka, Haruyuki Kataguchi, Mika Ohta et al. • Microorganisms (2022)

Previously, we developed a mathematical model via molecular simulation analysis to predict the infectivity of six SARS-CoV-2 variants. In this report, we aimed to predict the relative risk of the recent new variants of SARS-CoV-2 based on o...
