Antibacterial Coatings for Improving the Performance of Biomaterials
(MDPI, 2020-02-04)
Biomedical devices have become essential in the health care. Every day, an enormous number of these devices are used or implanted in humans. In this context, the bacterial contamination that could be developed in implanted ...
Bicolour fluorescent molecular sensor for cations: design and experimental validation
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-07-02)
Molecular entities whose fluorescence spectra are different when they bind metal cations are termed
bicolour fluorescent molecular sensors. The basic design criteria of this kind of compound are presented
and the different ...
Stability of a NiAl2O4 Derived Catalyst in the Ethanol Steam Reforming in Reaction-Regeneration Cycles: Effect of Reduction Temperature
(MDPI, 2022-05-17)
The catalyst regeneration is still a challenge to make the ethanol steam reforming (ESR) process feasible for sustainable H2 production. NiAl2O4 spinel derived catalysts are highly active and selective for ESR, but they ...
Opposite Alterations of 5¬HT2A Receptor Brain Density in Subjects with Schizophrenia: Relevance of Radiotracers Pharmacological Profile
(Springer, 2021-05-20)
The status of serotonin 5HT2A receptors (5HT2ARs) in schizophrenia has been controversial. In vivo positron emission
tomography neuroimaging and in vitro post-mortem binding studies have reported conflicting results about ...
Simulating rewetting events in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams: A global analysis of leached nutrients and organic matter
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019)
Climate change and human pressures are changing the global distribution and the extent of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which comprise half of the global river network area. IRES are characterized by ...
Viral metagenomic analysis of feces of wild small carnivores
(Biomed Central, 2014-05-15)
Background: Recent studies have clearly demonstrated the enormous virus diversity that exists among wild animals. This exemplifies the required expansion of our knowledge of the virus diversity present in wildlife, as well ...
Metabolic adaptations in spontaneously immortalized PGC-1α knock-out mouse embryonic fibroblasts increase their oncogenic potential
(Elsevier, 2020-01)
PGC-1 alpha controls, to a large extent, the capacity of cells to respond to changing nutritional requirements and energetic demands. The key role of metabolic reprogramming in tumor development has highlighted the potential ...
“Minimal metabolism”: A key concept to investigate the origins and nature of biological systems
(Wiley, 2021-10)
The systems view on life and its emergence from complex chemistry has remarkably increased the scientific attention on metabolism in the last two decades. However, during this time there has not been much theoretical ...
Stress-assisted atomic diffusion in metastable austenite D03 phase of Cu-Al-Be shape memory alloys
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2016-11)
Cu-Al-based shape memory alloys are firm candidates to be used up to 473 K. The main limiting aspect is the activation of diffusion processes in the metastable austenite phase, which drive the alloy decomposition. In the ...
Characterisation of the volatile profile of microalgae and cyanobacteria using solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry
(Nature Research, 2022-03)
[EN] Microalgae and microalgae-derived ingredients are one of the top trends in the food industry. However, consumers' acceptance and purchase intention of a product will be largely affected by odour and flavour. Surprisingly, ...
