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...
Uno dei compiti delle istituzioni pubbliche di ricerca è la divulgazione della conoscenza attraverso iniziative editoriali e corsi di formazione. Il progresso tecnologico, nel campo della comunicazione e l'ampia diffusione...
One of the institutional tasks of public research bodies is to promote the dissemination of knowledge through editorial initiatives and training courses. Technological progress, in the field of communication, and...
Colloidal superlattices are fascinating materials made of ordered nanocrystals, yet they are rarely called "atomically precise". That is unsurprising, given how challenging it is to quantify the degree of structural...
X-ray Small and Wide Scattering scanning microscopies have been adopted to inspect morphological and structural properties of collagen-based tissues at the atomic and nano scale 1 . Examples will be...
The copper(II) complexes of a peptide fragment of the R3 domain of tau protein (tau(326-333) Ac-GNIHHKPG-NH) and its mutants (Ac-GNGHHKPG-NH, Ac-GNIHHKAG-NH, Ac-GNGAHKPG-NH and Ac-GNGHAKPG-NH) have been studied by potentiometric and...
The evolution of antibacterial resistance has arisen as the main downside in fighting bacterial infections pushing researchers to develop novel, more potent and multimodal alternative drugs.Silver and its complexes have...
For centuries, tuberculosis has been a worldwide burden for human health, and gaps in our understanding of its pathogenesis have hampered the development of new treatments. ESX-1 is a complex...
CuS nanocrystals (NCs) have been recently exploited in several fields, ranging from energy conversion to biomedical applications, due to their intriguing geometry and phase-dependent semiconductor and near-infrared plasmonic properties. Although...
