Navigating Quality, Safety, and Analytical Testing Frameworks for Viral Vector–Based Gene Editing Therapies

Viral vectors have become the backbone of delivery strategies in modern gene therapy, offering biologically robust means of transporting therapeutic transgenes and genome-editing machinery, most notably CRISPR-Cas nuclease systems, into target cells. Moving these intricate macrom...

Influence of fin geometry on heat transfer and friction in plate fin heat exchangers: a CFD approach

Abstract Plate fin heat exchangers (PFHEs) are widely recognized for their compact design and high thermal efficiency, making them a popular choice in various heat transfer applications. Some common types of geometries which are used in the case of PFHEs are rectangular fins, tri...

Effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation-Based Reformer Pilates and Hatha Yoga on Functional Fitness, Balance, and Cognitive Performance in Older Women: A 16-Week Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract Background Aging is associated with progressive declines in neuromuscular function, postural control, and cognitive performance, which may compromise functional independence. Mind–body exercise approaches such as Pilates and Yoga have been suggested as effective strategi...

Traumatic brain injury in African urban centers: The role of road traffic accidents, outcomes, and health-system factors: a systematic review

Abstract Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. Road traffic accidents (RTAs), especially motorcycle-related crashes, represent a leadi...
