Design of double functionalized carbon nanotube for amphotericin B and genetic material delivery.
(Nature, 2022)
In the present work, single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) were successively functionalized with phospholipid DSPE-PEG carboxylic acid, and then, with ethylenediamine (EDA), to obtain double functionalized single wall carbon ...
Application of 2-D DIGE to study the effect of ageing on horse meat myofibrillar sub-proteome
(Elsevier, 2023-02)
Considering the high relevance of meat tenderness for consumer acceptability, the aim of this study was to investigate post-mortem changes in myofibrillar sub-proteome in steaks from longissimus thoracis et lumborum muscle ...
Antibacterial smart hydrogels: New hope for infectious wound management
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
Millions of people die annually due to uncured wound infections. Healthcare systems incur high costs to treat wound infections. Tt is predicted to become more challenging due to the rise of multidrug-resistant conditions. ...
Assessment of caspase activity in post mortem muscle as a way to explain characteristics of DFD beef
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
Pre-slaughter stress can lead to 'dark cutting' defective meat characterized by a high ultimate pH (pHu) in cattle, causing high economical losses in the meat industry. Therefore, the study of biochemical mechanisms related ...
Bioprinting and biomaterials for dental alveolar tissue regeneration
(Frontiers Media, 2023)
Three dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a powerful tool, that was recently applied to
tissue engineering. This technique allows the precise deposition of cells encapsulated
in supportive bioinks to fabricate complex ...
Gut Microbiota Induced by Pterostilbene and Resveratrol in High-Fat-High-Fructose Fed Rats: Putative Role in Steatohepatitis Onset
(MDPI, 2021-05-20)
Resveratrol and its 2-methoxy derivative pterostilbene are two phenolic compounds that occur in foodstuffs and feature hepato-protective effects. This study is devoted to analysing and comparing the metabolic effects of ...
Oil-Based Double Emulsion Microcarriers for Enhanced Stability and Bioaccessibility of Betalains and Phenolic Compounds from Opuntia stricta var. dillenii Green Extracts
(MDPI, 2023-06-01)
Opuntia cactus fruit (prickly pear flesh and agricultural residues such as peels and stalks) is an important source of bioactive compounds, including betalains and phenolic compounds. In this work, two double emulsion ...
Polylactic acid as a promising sustainable plastic packaging for edible oils
(Elsevier, 2023-04)
The influence of renewable packaging materials on the oxidative stability of sunflower oil was investigated to evaluate whether they could be used as alternatives to conventional plastics. Two renewable bottle materials, ...
Novel Golden Lipid Nanoparticles with Small Interference Ribonucleic Acid for Substrate Reduction Therapy in Fabry Disease
(MDPI, 2023-07-12)
Substrate reduction therapy (SRT) has been proposed as a new gene therapy for Fabry disease (FD) to prevent the formation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). Nanomedicines containing different siRNA targeted to Gb3 synthase ...
Molecularly Imprinted Polymer-Based Sensors for the Detection of Skeletal- and Cardiac-Muscle-Related Analytes
(MDPI, 2023-06-15)
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are synthetic polymers with specific binding sites that present high affinity and spatial and chemical complementarities to a targeted analyte. They mimic the molecular recognition ...
