Cu-polyester (Cu-PES) was sputtered by high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) and by low energy direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS). The total amount and distribution of the Ar+, Cu+ and Cu2+ ions were determined as well as the bacterial i ...
The beginning of the 21st century was marked by the advent of disruptive technologies, which ushered an era of groundbreaking advances in fundamental sciences, carried by the great pace at which computational capabilities spread and evolved. But the new ce ...
Understanding the interactions between biomedical alloys and body fluids is of importance for the successful and safe performance of implanted devices. Albumin, as the first protein that comes in contact with an implant surface, can determine the biocompat ...
A compelling link is emerging between the posttranslational modification O-GlcNAc and protein aggregation. A prime example is alpha-synuclein, which forms toxic aggregates that are associated with neurodegeneration in Parkinson's and related diseases. alph ...
Dissection puzzles require assembling a common set of pieces into multiple distinct forms. Existing works focus on creating 2D dissection puzzles that form primitive or naturalistic shapes. Unlike 2D dissection puzzles that could be supported on a tabletop ...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a fascinating class of porous materials that have become the subject of research owing to their unique characteristics such as high surface areas, low densities, and structural tunability. Recently, the research has been ...
New evidence is presented for the bacterial inactivation of E. coli presenting normal porins on sputtered Ag-Cu surfaces compared with similar E. coli porinless bacteria. Inactivation at a reduced rate was observed on the genetically modified porinless bac ...
Communication and environment sensing are fundamental for the regulation of the majority of the cellular functions. In cells there are dedicated networks that are responsible for signalling, which gives the ability to the cell of sensing the external and i ...
Intracellular deposits of α-synuclein in the form of Lewy bodies are major hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and a range of related neurodegenerative disorders. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of α-synuclein are increasingly thought to be major ...
Accumulation and aggregation of misfolded alpha-synuclein is believed to be a cause of Parkinson's disease (PD). Phosphorylation of alpha-synuclein at S129 is known to be associated with the pathological misfolding process, but efforts to investigate the r ...
