OPTICAL SORTING: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

Optical sorting: past, present and future

Abstract Optical sorting combines optical tweezers with diverse techniques, including optical spectrum, artificial intelligence (AI) and immunoassay, to endow unprecedented capabilities in particle sorting.In comparison to other methods such as microfluidics, acoustics and electrophoresis, optical sorting offers appreciable advantages in nanoscale

Mice infected with low-virulence strains of Toxoplasma gondii lose their innate aversion to cat urine, even after extensive parasite clearance.

Toxoplasma gondii chronic infection in rodent secondary hosts has been reported to lead to a loss of innate, hard-wired fear toward cats, its primary host.However the generality of this response across T.gondii strains and the underlying mechanism for this pathogen-mediated behavioral change remain unknown.To begin exploring these questions, we eva
