As an essential micronutrient, selenium deficiency is a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases. The heart is continuously beating to deliver blood to the entire body, and this requires a high amount of energy. An adult heart normally obtains 50-70% of
Highly sensitive plasmonic optical fiber platforms combined with receptors have been recently used to obtain selective sensors. A low-cost configuration can be obtained exploiting a D-shaped plastic optical fiber covered with a multilayer sensing surface. The multilayer consists of a
Bio-inspired nitrile hydration by peptidic ligands based on L-cysteine, L-methionine or L-penicillamine and pyridine-2, 6-dicarboxylic acid
Gut microbiota has been linked to a number of human diseases including colon cancer. However, the mechanism through which gut bacteria influence colon cancer development and progression remains unclear. Perturbation of the homeostasis between the host immune system and microbiota
Colloids and surfaces. B, Biointerfaces, 148, 371-376 (2016-11-05)
A new stable and stereo-selective electrochemiluminescence (ECL) interface has been designed for specific recognition of penicillamine (Pen) enantiomers by using hemoglobin (Hb) and gold nanoparticles functionalized graphite-like carbon nitride nanosheets composite (Au-g-C
