Down syndrome (DS) is the most frequent cause of mental retardation in adults and children. It has been proposed that cognitive disabilities associated with DS may be ascribed to neurogenesis impairment during both development and adulthood. This view is s ...
A review. The systematic development of the RAPTA family of organometallic ruthenium(II) anticancer drugs contg. a monodentate 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo-[3.3.1.1]decane ligand and a h6-arene ligand is described. ...
Nowadays, there are still several unmet medical needs in the field of orthopaedic and trauma surgery leading to the incentive of finding alternative and innovative clinical therapeutics for the treatment of bone regeneration. For example, the entrapment of ...
Personalized therapy requires accurate and frequent monitoring of drugs metabolic response in living organisms during drug treatments. In case of high risk side effects, e.g. therapies with interfering anti-cancer molecules cocktails, direct monitoring of ...
Duocarmycins are a potent class of antitumor agents. Their activity arises by their covalent binding to adenine nucleobases of DNA. We use classical mol. dynamics and hybrid (QM/MM) Car-Parrinello mol. dynamics simulations to study non-covalent and covalen ...
The development of robotic cognition and the advancement of understanding of human cognition form two of the current greatest challenges in robotics and neuroscience, respectively. The RobotCub project aims to develop an embodied robotic child (iCub) with ...
Porous coating for the controlled release of drugs, said coating comprising a porous structure with pores adapted to act as reservoirs or as passages for a drug, in such a way that said drug can move from the external environment to/from or through said po ...
The discovery of new metal-based antitumor drugs, whether cisplatin derivs. or those based on other metals, has been largely based on cell viability assays (IC50 values) and compds. that bind to DNA. This approach has been applied for more than 30 years du ...
Protein design is important to develop new drugs. As such, a knowledge of the correct model to use to design novel proteins is of the utmost importance. Here we show that a simple model where the solvent degrees of freedom are (semi)explicitly taken into a ...
The aim of the study is to evaluate the differences of protein binding of NAMI-A, a new ruthenium drug endowed with selective antimetastatic properties, and of cisplatin and to ascertain the possibility to use two drugs based on heavy metals in combination ...
