Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus reversal via implantation of magnetically purified microencapsulated pseudoislets
(Elsevier, 2019-02-10)
Microencapsulation of pancreatic islets for the treatment of Type I Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) generates a high quantity of empty microcapsules, resulting in high therapeutic graft volumes that can enhance the host’s immune ...
Extracellular matrix protein microarray-based biosensor with single cell resolution: Integrin profiling and characterization of cell-biomaterial interactions
(Elsevier, 2019-08-06)
In the search of biomaterials that promote cell adhesion, it is crucial to explore the integrin-substrate dynamic interactions given in a certain cell type to design successful biofunctionalization strategies. Here, we use ...
Influence of season-depending ecological variables on biomarker baseline levels in mussels (Mytilus trossulus) from two Baltic Sea subregions
(Science Direct, 2019-06-26)
For reliable mussel monitoring programmes based on biomarkers, regionally relevant reference values and their natural variability need to be known. The Baltic Sea exhibits high inter-regional and seasonal variability in ...
In situ non-invasive multianalytical methodology to characterize mosaic tesserae from the House of Gilded Cupids, Pompeii
(Springer, 2019-12)
Mosaics, one of the most important decorative artworks in the Roman culture, were usually elaborated with a set of tesserae joined with lime or others binders to form geometric or figurative decorations. The identification ...
Raman imaging to quantify the thermal transformation degree of Pompeian yellow ochre caused by the 79 AD Mount Vesuvius eruption
(Springer, 2019-11-07)
Most of the wall paintings from Pompeii are decorated with red and yellow colors but the thermal impact of 79 AD MountVesuvius eruption promoted the partial transformation of some yellow-painted areas into red. The aim of ...

(Springer, 2019-05-22)
The city of Nájera, located in the north of the Iberian Peninsula, hosts an alcazar of Arab origin, which became the residence of the king of Pamplona-Nájera and later of the duke and duchess of Nájera. From this last ...
Non-destructive Screening Methodology based on ED-XRF for the classification of Medieval and post-Medieval Archaeological Ceramics
(Elsevier, 2019-06)
Compositional analysis of ceramics plays a crucial role in Archaeology because following the proper methodology, it enables to obtain knowledge about past human behavior. In this regard, X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry ...
Evidence of mercury sequestration by carbon nanotubes and nanominerals present in agricultural soils from a coal fired power plant exhaust
(Elsevier, 2019-10)
Mercury (Hg) in agricultural soils could have negative effects on the environment and the human health. The exposure to high level of Hg through different absorption pathways, such as ingestion and diet through soil-plant ...
