(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
BACKGROUND: Although X-ray fluorescence microscopy is becoming a widely used technique for single-cell analysis, sample preparation for this microscopy remains one of the main challenges in obtaining optimal conditions for ...
Paraviral cutaneous manifestations associated to SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant
(
Taylor and Francis Group
, 2022 , Article)
Background: The spreading of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant is probably due to its increased transmissibility and ability to escape from neutralising antibodies. Cutaneous manifestations have been reported after infection ...
