Co−doped stannates /reduced graphene composites: effect of cobalt substitution on the electrochemical sensing of hydrogen peroxide
(Elsevier, 2017)Co-doped stannates, Zn2-xCoxSnO4(0.5 <= x <= 1.5), were produced by ceramic synthesis starting from the ZnSnO4 phase. Morphology, structure, and composition of synthesized compounds were examined using scanning electron ... -
Single molecule force spectroscopy reveals the effect of BiP chaperone on protein folding
(Wiley, 2017)BiP (Immunoglobulin Binding Protein) is a member of the Hsp70 chaperones that participates in protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum. The function of BiP relies on cycles of ATP hydrolysis driving the binding and ... -
The effects of gold nanoparticles functionalized with beta-amyloid specific peptides on an in vitro model of blood–brain barrier
(Elsevier, 2017)We studied the effect of gold nanoparticle (AuNP) size, surface charge, concentration and morphology on the integrity of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) in a well-established in vitro model set-up. We focused on the effect ... -
Metal Nanoparticles for the Treatment and Diagnosis of Neurodegenerative Brain Diseases
(Bentham Science Publishers Ltd., 2017)This review focuses on the application of metal nanoparticles in the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Metal nanoparticles present interesting physicochemical properties that can be applied ... -
Photothermal conversion efficiency and cytotoxic effect of gold nanorods stabilized with chitosan, alginate and poly(vinyl alcohol)
(Elsevier, 2017)Gold nanorods (GNR) use has been proposed in medical applications because of their intrinsic photothermal properties. However, the presence of CTAB molecules adsorbed onto the surface of GNRs results in a highly cytotoxic ... -
Transfer hydrogenation of N-benzylideneaniline catalyzed by ruthenium complexes with pincer-type phosphorus nitrogen ligands using propan-2-ol as the hydrogen source
(Elsevier, 2017)Ruthenium complexes containing phosphorus-nitrogen, pincer-type (NPN) ligands show high activities and selectivities in the transfer hydrogenation of N-benzylideneaniline using propan-2-ol as the hydrogen source. Such ... -
Quantum controlled fusion
(Elsevier, 2017)Quantum-controlled motion of nuclei, starting from the nanometer-size ground state of a molecule, can potentially overcome some of the difficulties of thermonuclear fusion by compression of a fuel pellet or in a bulk ... -
Heterologous expression of an α‑amylase inhibitor from common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in Kluyveromyces lactis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(BioMed Central, 2017-06-15)Background: Phaseolamin or alpha-amylase inhibitor 1 (alpha AI) is a glycoprotein from common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) that inhibits some insect and mammalian alpha-amylases. Several clinical studies support the ... -
Sex hormones and cardiometabolic health: Role of estrogen and estrogen receptors
(Oxford University Press, 2017-05)With increased life expectancy, women will spend over three decades of life postmenopause. The menopausal transition increases susceptibility to metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and ... -
The ROCK inhibitor fasudil prevents chronic restraint stress-induced depressive-like behaviors and dendritic spine loss in rat hippocampus
(Oxford University Press, 2017-04-01)Background: Dendritic arbor simplification and dendritic spine loss in the hippocampus, a limbic structure implicated in mood disorders, are assumed to contribute to symptoms of depression. These morphological changes imply ... -
Synthesis and magnetic properties of nanostructured metallic Co, Mn and Ni oxide materials obtained from solid-state metal-macromolecular complex precursors
(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2017)The simple reaction of chitosan with metallic salts yields (chitosan) (MLn)(x), MLn = MnCl2, CoCl2, NiCl2, macromolecular complexes which, after a thermal treatment at 800 degrees C under air, give nanostructured Mn2O3, ... -
Calcium transport and signaling in mitochondria
(Wiley, 2017-04)Calcium (Ca2+) is a key player in the regulation of many cell functions. Just like Ca2+, mitochondria are ubiquitous, versatile, and dynamic players in determining both cell survival and death decisions. Given their ... -
Therapeutic targeting of autophagy in myocardial infarction and heart failure
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Introduction: Myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of death. When MI is not lethal, heart failure (HF) is a major consequence with high prevalence and poor prognosis. The targeting of autophagy represents a ... -

Potential use of nanocarriers with pentacyclic triterpenes in cancer treatments
(Future Medicine Ltd, 2016-12)Ursolic, oleanolic and betulinic acids are representative pentacyclic triterpenoids found in various plants and fruits. Despite having marked antitumor potentials, the very poor water solubility of these triterpenes hinders ... -
Use of acidophilic bacteria of the genus Acidithiobacillus tobiosynthesize CdS fluorescent nanoparticles (quantum dots) withhigh tolerance to acidic pH
(Elsevier, 2016)The use of bacterial cells to produce fluorescent semiconductor nanoparticles (quantum dots, QDs) rep-resents a green alternative with promising economic potential. In the present work, we report for thefirst time the ... -
Synthesis and characterisation of two homologous series of LC acrylic monomers based on phenolic and resorcinic azobenzene groups
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)The synthesis and phase characterisation of two homologous series of monomers of acrylic azo-compounds has been presented. The characterisation comprises polarising optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry ... -
Peripheral and Central Mechanisms Involved in the Hormonal Control of Male and Female Reproduction
(Wiley, 2016)Reproduction involves the integration of hormonal signals acting across multiple systems to generate a synchronised physiological output. A critical component of reproduction is the luteinising hormone (LH) surge, which ... -
Developmental and Functional Effects of Steroid Hormones on the Neuroendocrine Axis and Spinal Cord
