We here develop stable bidimensional magnetic nanoclusters (2D-MNCs) of iron oxide nanocubes (IONCs) arranged in thin nanosheets of closed-packed nanocubes. The assembly occurs by means of a two-step approach: in...
The workshop entitled "Integrating Bio-SAXS and High-Performance Computing: Advancements in Structural Biology and Nanoscience" was held in Bari from April 2 to 4. The event brought together leading experts in...
Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) have garnered significant attention due to their enhanced chemical, physical, and binding properties in comparison to natural nucleic acids. This prompted their application in antigene/antisense approach,...
Mucin 1 (MUC1) is a promising antigen for cancer vaccine development, but its low immunogenicity poses a major challenge. In this study, we have investigated the effect of varying the...
Coumarin represents a privileged structural motif that is quite common in nature-derived and synthetic bioactive molecules. Some of us have recently described the straightforward preparation of complex furo[3,2-c]coumarins through a...
Peptide's applications frequently present problems of solubility, stability, activity, or membrane permeability. To overcome these issues, cyclodextrins (CDs) can be used to form inclusion complexes with peptide hydrophobic parts; alkyl-chains...
Whey protein concentrate (WPC)/omega-3 rich oil/TiO2 nanocomposite films were prepared by casting as a bio-based alternative to petroleum-based plastics. The effect of adding Tween 20 and/or TiO2 nanoreinforcement in two...
: Chimera-type galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a β-galactoside-binding protein containing a single conserved carbohydrate-recognition domain, crucial in fibrosis and carcinogenesis. Selenium-based Gal-3 inhibitors have emerged as promising therapeutic agents, particularly for...
The study focuses on the colour of architectural earthenwares known as Campana slabs, which often show polychromy remains. We have analysed several fragments of simas, crowning and revetment panels found...
