Bio-based hybrid nanocomposites as multifunctional sustainable materials for stone conservation
(Elsevier, 2023-08-23)
This study was aimed at developing a sustainable versatile bio-based epoxy-silica material to be potentially employed as hydrophobic and biocidal consolidating product in the field of stone conservation. For this purpose, ...
Towards a new generation of non-cytotoxic shape memory thermoplastic polyurethanes for biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
In recent decades, the technology of polymeric materials used in biomedical applications has been greatly improved, replacing the metals that had been used until now. This change has not only meant an improvement in the ...
Liquid-crystalline, liquid-ordered, rippled and gel lipid bilayer phases as observed with nile red fluorescence
(Elsevier, 2022-10)
The basic matrix of cellular membranes consists of a double layer (bilayer) of phospholipids. Semisynthetic lipid bilayers are commonly used in biophysical studies of membranes. According to tem-perature and composition, ...
Evaluation of Various Types of Alginate Inks for Light-Mediated Extrusion 3D Printing
(MDPI, 2024-04-04)
Naturally derived biopolymers modifying or combining with other components are excellent candidates to promote the full potential of additive manufacturing in biomedicine, cosmetics, and the food industry. This work aims ...
Extrusion-Based 3D Printing of Photocrosslinkable Chitosan Inks
(MDPI, 2024-02-04)
Photocuring of chitosan has shown great promise in the extrusion-based 3D printing of scaffolds for advanced biomedical and tissue engineering applications. However, the poor mechanical stability of methacrylated chitosan ...
OptiMo-LDLr: an integrated In silico model with enhanced predictive power for LDL receptor variants, unraveling hot spot pathogenic residues
(Wiley, 2024-04)
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited metabolic disease affecting cholesterol metabolism, with 90% of cases caused by mutations in the LDL receptor gene (LDLR), primarily missense mutations. This study aims ...
