“…However, he focused his attention on the order and arrangement of tissue water and not on muscle structure. Further studies on complex biological systems like biological membranes or proteins moved positronium research towards structural biology and showed that this approach was efficient in the study of biological reactions (such as electron transfer (Jean and Ache, 1977)), phase transition of lipids (Chow et al, 1981;Jean and Hancock, 1982;Stinson et al, 1980) macromolecule structure (Handel et al, 1976), hydratation (Akiyama et al, 2007Gregory et al, 1992;Handel et al, 1980) and porosity (Chamerski et al, 2017;Pamula et al, 2006) of biological samples. Nowadays, after many years of focused research, PALS appears to be a promising technique in the investigation of the structure of macromolecules (Chen et al, 2012) and clinical samples (Avachat et al, 2022;Moskal et al, 2021a,b;Zgardzinska et al, 2020).…”
