Here we present a colloidal approach to synthesize bismuth chalcohalide nanocrystals (BiEX NCs, in which E=S, Se and X=Cl, Br, I). Our method yields orthorhombic elongated BiEX NCs, with BiSCl...
Oleogels are a class of solid-fat mimetics that contain a large fraction of oil. Most of these materials have low stiffness and poor oil-binding capacity at commercially viable concentrations, which...
Recently, we have reported the preparation of a silk fibroin-supported Palladium catalyst (Pd/SF) and its use in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl iodides. Since its synthetic applicability and structural features...
On a sample of the Turin Shroud (TS), we applied a new method for dating ancient linen threads by inspecting their structural degradation by means of Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS)....
Mitochondria dysfuntion in Cockayne syndrome: the role of DRP1 protein
Hyaluronic acid (Hy) is a glycosaminoglycan widely distributed in humans and it is the main component of the extracellular matrix. The wide range of physiological functions includes hydration and turgidity...
Neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and prion diseases are some of the most common forms of age-related diseases. Even if pathogenesis of these neurodegenerative...
