A Genome-Scale Integration and Analysis of Lactococcus lactis Translation Data

Protein synthesis is a template polymerization process composed by three main steps: initiation, elongation, and termination. During translation, ribosomes are engaged into polysomes whose size is used for the quantitative characterization of translatome. ...

Geometry as a Catalyst: How Vapor Cavities Nucleate from Defects

Simone Meloni

The onset of cavitation is strongly enhanced by the presence of rough surfaces or impurities in the liquid. Despite decades of research, the way the geometry of these defects promote the nucleation of bubbles and its effect on the kinetics of the process r ...

Heparin-binding domain of fibrin(ogen) binds growth factors and promotes tissue repair when incorporated within a synthetic matrix

Matthias Lütolf, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Mikaël Martino, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez, Adrian Ranga

By binding growth factors (GFs), the ECM tightly regulates their activity. We recently reported that the heparin-binding domain II of fibronectin acts as a promiscuous high-affinity GF-binding domain. Here we hypothesized that fibrin, the provisional ECM d ...

Radioactive Europium-Chelate-Based Silica Nanoparticles as a Probe for Stability, Incorporation Efficiency and Trace Analysis

Marinella Mazzanti

Two luminescent terbium and europium lanthanide chelates were efficiently embedded into silica nanoparticles by using a reverse microemulsion process. The incorporation was achieved without covalent bonding between the lanthanide chelates and the silica ma ...

Synthesis of Homogeneous Manganese-Doped Titanium Oxide Nanotubes from Titanate Precursors

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Kurt Schenk, Endre Horvath, Bálint Náfrádi, Rita Smajda, Péter Szirmai, Zlatko Mickovic

We report a novel synthesis route of homogeneously manganese-doped TiO2 nanotubes in a broad concentration range. The scroll-type trititanate (H2Ti3O7) nanotubes prepared by hydrothermal synthesis were used as precursors. Mn2+ ions were introduced by an io ...
