Abstract: Abstract Designing expandable dry cryogels with biodegradability, rapid blood-sucking expansion and hemostasis for lethal non-compressible hemorrhage and coagulopathy hemorrhage still remains a challenge. Herein, we designed a series of antioxidant, photo-thermal and antibacterial expandable dry… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-00328-z
Abstract: Caves house pathogenic microorganisms, some of which are transmitted by blood-sucking arthropods. In Africa, previous studies identified mosquitoes, sand flies and biting midges as the main potential vectors of cave-dwelling pathogens. However, to understand their… read more here.
