Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is one of the most potent carcinogens and a widespread food and feed contaminant. As for other toxins, many efforts are devoted to find efficient and environmentally-friendly...
A novel organic-inorganic metallo-phosphate complex, CoF2(H2O)Fe(C10H8N2)(HPO4)2, obtained through hydrothermal method, was characterized via single-crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared and Raman spectroscopies, and thermogravimetric analysis. UV and photoluminescence spectroscopy were used to...
The characterization of the materials constituting artistic and archaeological artifacts is a crucial issue for many aspects related to their conservation, authentication and restoration. [1, 2] The use of non-invasive...
Several studies have highlighted the presence of nitration damage following neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Accordingly, post-transcriptional modifications of β-amyloid (Aβ), including peptide nitration, have been explored as a marker...
2D agarose substrates have recently been surprisingly shown to be permissive for cell adhesion, depending on their mechanics and the use of the adhesive proteins of fetal bovine serum (FBS)...
: The reactivity of thioredoxin (Trx1) with the Au(I) drug auranofin (AF) and two therapeutic N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)2-Au(I) complexes (bis [1-methyl-3-acridineimidazolin-2-ylidene]gold(I) tetrafluoroborate (Au3BC) and [1,3-diethyl-4,5-bis(4methoxyphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene]gold(I) (Au4BC)) was investigated. Direct infusion...
Atlantic bonito meat has economic potential as an alternative to mackerel consumption. Thus, considering the presence of myoglobin (Mb) in red fish muscles, we report the characterisation of Atlantic bonito...
Seeing the atomic configuration of single organic nanoparticles at a sub-Å spatial resolution by transmission electron microscopy has been so far prevented by the high sensitivity of soft matter to...
Neurotrophins are a family of growth factors that play a key role in the development and regulation of the functioning of the central nervous system. Their use as drugs is...
Optical metasurfaces combined with chiral liquid crystals enable a new generation of optical components that integrate a light-tunable mirror and a controllable perfect absorber. This combination heralds a new era...
