Immunoliposome-mediated drug delivery to Plasmodium-infected and non-infected red blood cells as a dual therapeutic/prophylactic antimalarial stragegy
One of the most important factors behind resistance evolution in malaria is the failure to deliver sufficiently high amounts of drugs to early stages of Plasmodium-infected red blood cells (pRBCs). Despite having been ...
Probing active nematics with in situ microfabricated elastic inclusions
In this work, we report a direct measurement of the forces exerted by a tubulin/kinesin active nematic gel as well as its complete rheological characterization, including the quantification of its shear viscosity, η, and ...
Ex Vivo Permeation of Carprofen Vehiculated by PLGA Nanoparticles through Porcine Mucous Membranes and Ophthalmic Tissues
(1) Background: Carprofen (CP), 2-(6-chlorocarbazole) propionic acid, is used as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-pyretic agent and it belongs to the family of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). CP has ...
Phosphatidylserine-Liposomes promote tolerogenic features on dendritic cells in human type 1 diabetes by apoptotic mimicry
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a metabolic disease caused by the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing β-cells. With its incidence increasing worldwide, to find a safe approach to permanently cease autoimmunity and allow ...
XRPD as a powerful tool to exploit in organic electronics: shedding light on the first N,N',N''-trialkyldiindolocarbazole crystal structure
The first crystal structure of a fully N-alkylated diindolocarbazole derivative, namely, 5,8,14-tributyldiindolo[3,2-b;2′,3′-h]carbazole (1, C36H39N3), has been determined from laboratory powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) ...
Laser-induced forward transfer for manufacture of graphite-based heaters on flexible substrate
Flexible heaters have recently gained considerable interest owing to their ability to be integrated into a wide variety of miniaturized devices. They are used to perform thermal management, strain engineering, and even ...
Base-assisted synthesis of 4-pyridinate gold(I) metallaligands: a study of their use in self-assembly reactions
The synthesis of di- and tritopic gold(I) metallaligands of the type [(Au4-py)2(μ2-diphosphane)] (diphosphane = bis(diphenylphosphanyl)isopropane or dppip (1), 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane or dppe (2), 1,3-bis(diphe ...
Using Car-Parrinello simulations and microscopic order descriptors to reveal two locally favored structures with distinct molecular dipole moments and dynamics in ambient liquid water
Water is essential for life and technological applications, mainly for its unique thermodynamic and dynamic properties, often anomalous or counterintuitive. These anomalies result from the hydrogen-bonds fluctuations, as ...
Effects of ITO based back contacts on Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films, solar cells, and mini-modules relevant for semi-transparent building integrated photovoltaics
This study presents the results of the development of semi-transparent Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGSe) mini-modules for the application in building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). Applying in-situ X-ray diffraction in real-time ...
Structure and dynamics of water at carbon-based interfaces
Water structure and dynamics are affected by the presence of a nearby interface. Here, first we review recent results by molecular dynamics simulations about the effect of different carbon-based materials, including armchair ...
Metal-based nanoparticles as antimicrobial agents: an overview.
Metal-based nanoparticles have been extensively investigated for a set of biomedical applications. According to the World Health Organization, in addition to their reduced size and selectivity for bacteria, metal-based ...
Synthesis and in vitro phototoxicity of multifunctional Zn(II)meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin-coated gold nanoparticles assembled via axial coordination with imidazole ligands
Hypothesis: Metalloporphyrins are extensively investigated for their ability to form reactive oxygen species and as potent photosensitisers for use in photodynamic therapy. However, their hydrophobicity generally causes ...

Spectroscopic ellipsometry study of Cu2ZnSnS4 bulk poly-crystals
The linear optical properties of Cu2ZnSnS4 bulk poly-crystals have been investigated using spectroscopic ellipsometry in the range of 1.2-4.6 eV at room temperature. The characteristic features identified in the optical ...
Temperature-dependent elastic properties of DNA
Knowledge of the elastic properties, e.g., the persistence length or interphosphate distance, of single-stranded (ss) and double-stranded (ds) DNA under different experimental conditions is critical to characterizing ...
Resonant and Off-Resonant Magnetoacoustic Waves in Epitaxial Fe3Si/GaAs Hybrid Structures
Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) provide an efficient dynamical coupling between strain and magnetization in micro- and nanometric systems. Using a hybrid device composed of a piezoelectric, GaAs, and a ferromagnetic Heusler ...
Custom incorporation of DMD-based photolithography and photopatterning techniques in soft condensed matter research
Research with soft materials, that is, polymeric gels, colloidal suspensions, liquid crystals, and most biomaterials often involves the need for microfabrication of confinement channels, cells, and lab-on-a-chip devices. ...
