The nucleus accumbens shell (NAcSh) is a major structure associated with distinct aspects of reward and mnemonic information encoding, relying on spatial data to define optimal behavioral strategies. Chronic pain-derived striatal plasticity is consid...
Pulse proteins are playing significant roles in the alternative protein space due to the demand for foods produced in an environmentally sustainable manner and, most importantly, due to the demand for foods of nutritious value. There has been extensi...
Thermoplastics used to construct a variety of patient medical devices can become contaminated by harmful bacteria. We investigated whether two different Bacillus species recovered from patient radiation therapy thermoplastic masks could similarly con...
Synucleinopathies, typified by Parkinson’s disease (PD), entail the accumulation of α-synuclein (αSyn) aggregates in nerve cells. Various αSyn mutants, including the αSyn A53T variant linked to early-onset PD, increase t...
Chitinases are biotechnologically relevant enzymes that can be applied in such different sectors as pharmaceutical, food, environmental management, the biocontrol of pests and in the paper and cellulose industry. Microorganisms as filamentous fungi a...
The utilization of microalgae as a green carbon source for chemical production has attracted attention for its potential use in sustainable and climate-friendly solutions. This study investigates the growth of Dunaliella salina, a unicellular green m...
Growing demands for sustainable and ecological nanoparticle synthesis methods have incentivized the scientific community to develop new approaches to counteract these challenges. Green synthesis resorts to biocomponents obtained from plants, bacteria...
The emergence of bacteria resistant to bacteriophage (phage) infection may compromise the success and effectiveness of phage therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activity of five novel phages, as well as the emerg...
Introduction: Mortality from acute radiation syndrome is frequently caused by hematopoietic or gastrointestinal radiotoxicity, the latter of which currently has no effective treatment. Transforming growth factor-beta 3 (TGF-β3) may decrease the...
