Formation of Calcium Carbonate under Permanent Magnetic Fields: Insights from X-Ray Scattering and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Abstract Electromagnetic treatment has been used in water desalination to control mineral scale formation and maximize membrane performance. However, the mechanism(s) by which external fields influence mineral scale formation remain poorly understood. This study used X-ray scatte...

Severe burn disrupts tissue-specific clock gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and skeletal muscle in a rodent model

INTRODUCTION: Severe burns cause systemic inflammation and a hypermetabolic response, yet their impact on biorhythms remains unclear. Clock gene-regulated circadian rhythms maintain physiologic homeostasis and are altered in disease. We posit that severe burn disrupts tissue-spec...
