HANTAVIRUS INHIBITS APOPTOSIS BY PREVENTING MITOCHONDRIAL MEMBRANE POTENTIAL LOSS THROUGH UP-REGULATION OF THE PRO-SURVIVAL FACTOR BCL-2.

Hantavirus inhibits apoptosis by preventing mitochondrial membrane potential loss through up-regulation of the pro-survival factor BCL-2.

Hantaviruses, zoonotic RNA viruses belonging to the order Bunyavirales, cause two severe acute diseases in humans, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS).Hantavirus-infected patients show strong cytotoxic lymphocyte responses and hyperinflammation; however, infected cells remain mostly intact.Hantavirus

Ultrastrong catalyst-free polycrystalline diamond

Abstract Diamond is the hardest naturally occurring material found on earth but single crystal diamond is brittle due to the nature of catastrophic cleavage fracture.Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) materials are made by high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) technology.PDC materials have been widely used in several industries.Wear resistan
