An equal distribution of hospital structures represents an important factor to achieve Universal Health Coverage. Generally, the most diffused approach to measure the potential availability to healthcare is the provider-to-population...
The present study investigates the usability of lignocellulosic kapokfibers as a reinforcement for lightweight composites. Kapok fibers aremodified by dewaxing followed by a silane coupling agent at differentconcentrations. The crystallographic...
An in silico redesign of the secondary quinone electron acceptor (QB) binding pocket of the D1 protein of Photosystem II (PSII) suggested that mutations of the F265 residue would affect...
Several studies highlight the identification of some enzymes with additional abilities, especially those involved in metabolic pathways and/or host defence processes, classified as multitasking proteins. In this context, we report...
: In recent years, the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique, designed for microbial pathogen detection, has acquired fundamental importance in the biomedical field, providing rapid and precise responses. However, it...
: The diterpene cafestol represents the most potent cholesterol-elevating compound known in the human diet, being responsible for more than 80% of the effect of coffee on serum lipids, with...
An early-stage diagnosis could significantly improve the prognosis of severe diseases such as Alzheimer’s (AD). The key is to find alternative platforms for the improvement of clinical diagnostic methods. In...
: Blocking iron uptake and metabolism has been emerging as a promising therapeutic strategy for the development of novel antimicrobial compounds. Like all mycobacteria, M. abscessus (Mab) has evolved several...
A set of 23 vesbine-bearing samples from Vesuvius volcano (Italy), preserved in the collection of the Royal Mineralogical Museum of Naples, University Federico II (RMMN), have been investigated to identify...
Pancreatic cancer, with its increasing incidence and lowest 5-year survival rate, is predicted to become the second leading cause of cancer deaths by 2030. Current clinical trials have shown limited...
