Abstract Background During infection, alterations of the endothelium’s barrier function are multifaceted and virus-specific. Rubella virus (RuV) infection during pregnancy damages the endothelium in the placental and f...

Abstract Background The ability to guide stem cells toward the bone-forming lineage is a fundamental aspect of regenerative medicine. Conventional protocols for osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells typica...

Two different approaches are used to produce conducting polymer nano-objects. One is a “top-down” approach which involves laser ablation of conducting polymer films using laser light interference patterns (direct las...

Leishmaniasis is a zoonotic disease, regarded by WHO as a public health problem that has presented a significant increase in the recent years. Conventional treatment is toxic and leads to serious side effects. Photodynam...

This study aims to characterize and analyze the physical and chemical performance of CH clay soil stabilized independently and separately by fly ash and metakaolin based geopolymers activated by sodium hydroxide. Differe...

Abstract The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance (BLIS) from Enterococcus faecium DB1 on cariogenic Streptococcus mutans biofilm. Crystal violet staining, fluorescence,...

Abstract Green composites are increasingly attracting interest due to their potential to address environmental issues by merging sustainable fillers with biodegradable polymers. The current study investigates the incorpo...

Silicon dioxide (SiO2), a material known as “silica” presents properties that make it a good candidate as a biomaterial: it has a very labile surface for functionalization, it is easy to synthesize and it is biocompa...

ObjectiveDry eye disease (DED) is a common ocular surface disorder characterized by tear film instability and trigeminal nerve-mediated corneal hyperesthesia. Periocular acupuncture has been demonstrated to relieve DED s...

Abstract Multimodal neural interfaces that integrate electrical and optical functionalities are promising tools for neuroscientific and clinical applications that involve recording and manipulating neuronal activity. How...

In this paper we present a rapid and simple onepot method to obtain gold nanoparticles functionalized with folic acid using a photochemistry method. The bioconjugate folic acid-gold nanoparticle was generated in one step...

Several forms of niobium oxide were prepared, including nanostructured mesoporous materials, and their acidity properties were comprehensively investigated and compared with commercially available materials. The composit...

This study evaluates Tibet leucogranites as a potential raw material for high-purity quartz. We systematically investigate the petrography, geochemistry, and purification potential of leucogranites from the Ama Drime Mas...

Amacrine cells are a heterogeneous class of interneurons that modulate the transfer of the light signals through the retina. The cholinergic system present in these neurons is involved in such modulation. However, the ch...

The mineralogical and geochemical variations recorded between Sierras Bayas and La Providencia groups (SBG and LPG) are inquired in this work to identified probable source rocks. The Barker Surface, a regional karstic su...
