To date, no specific estimate of R0 for SARS-CoV-2 is available for healthcare settings. Using inter-individual contact data, we highlight that R0 estimates from the community cannot translate directly to healthcare settings, with pre-pandemic R0 values ranging 1.3-7.7 in three illustrative healthcare institutions. This has implications for nosocomial Covid-19 control. ... Read more >>

The ability of 3D cultures to mimic the physiology of primary tissues and organs in the human body enables further insight into cellular behaviour and is hence highly desirable in early ...

Therizinosaurs are highly modified, probably herbivorous, theropods from the Upper Cretaceous of Asia and North America. They are characterized by an extensively pneumatized axial skeleton, and in the derived forms, an incipiently opisthopubic pelvis. The evolution of such a pelvis is expected to be associated with extensive modification of the ... Read more >>

Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JoRRP) is driven by human papillomavirus (HPV) low-risk strains and is associated with significant morbidity. While previous studies of 2D cultures have shed light on disease pathogenesis and demonstrated the utility of personalized medicine approaches, monolayer cultures lack the 3D tissue architecture and physiology of stratified, ...
