As mitochondria are vulnerable to oxidative damage and represent the main source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), they are considered key tuners of ROS metabolism and buffering, whose dysfunction can...
The high demand of hospitalization in the intensive care units (ICUs) during the first wave of the COVID-19 outbreak brought out the critical issues of the limited capacity of the...
Understanding the metal ion-protein interactions is crucial in transport, accumulation, and excretion of metals. Furthermore, it seems to be highly important to investigate the role of such complexes in many...
The major cause of bacterial resistance to ?-lactams is the production of hydrolytic ?-lac-tamase enzymes. Nowadays, the combination of ?-lactam antibiotics with ?-lactamase inhibitors (BLIs) is the main strategy for...
The scientific interest toward the structural, luminescence, and dielectric properties of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) materials, in particular, the doped TCP-based compounds, is mainly due to their biocompatibility and bioactivity behavior...
Anionic complexes having vapochromic behavior are investigated: [K(H2O)][M(ppy)(CN)2], [K(H2O)][M(bzq)(CN)2], and [Li(H2O)n][Pt(bzq)(CN)2], where ppy = 2-phenylpyridinate, bzq = 7,8-benzoquinolate, and M = Pt(II) or Pd(II). These hydrated potassium/lithium salts exhibit a...
In this paper, we provide an in-depth electrochemical characterization of a label-free impedimetric immunosensor for rapid detection of ochratoxin A. The sensor was based on a carbodiimide-mediated amide coupling reaction...
Diseases like widespread diabetes or rare galactosemia may lead to high sugar concentrations in the human body, thereby promoting the formation of glycoconjugates. Glycation of collagen, i.e. the formation of...
Silk Fibroin (SF) obtained from Bombyx mori is a very attractive biopolymer that can be useful for many technological applications, from optoelectronics and photonics to biomedicine. It can be processed...
The indiscriminate use of herbicides in agriculture contributes to soil and water pollution, with important endangering consequences on the ecosystems. Among the available analytical systems, algal biosensors have demonstrated to...
