This study analyse two different standard techniques in the organoids culture fields such as the use of an extracellular matrix commercially available (Matrigel) and the so called Air-liquid-interface, these two methods ...

Antimicrobial materials are essential in many medical applications. In the recent years a lot of research has been dedicated to nitric oxide-releasing nanomaterials and in particular mesoporous particles in order to improve ...

Progress in the development and understanding of antibacterial materials could contribute in limiting the spreading of drug-resistant bacteria and lowering the number of infections. Silicon nitride (Si3N4) has great ...

Ticks, well-known as hematophagous vectors, play a crucial role in transmitting numerous zoonotic pathogens ranging from viruses and bacteria to protozoa. To prevent and understand the transition from tick-borne disease ...

Nowadays, nanostructured titanium dioxide, TiO2, is recognized as one of the most effective photocatalysts, capable of degrading under UV light a wide spectrum of organic pollutants, from dyes to antibiotics. Recent studies ...

The aim of this thesis was to determine organic compounds preserved in the residues of ancient pottery. In particular, I analysed pottery fragments recovered during an excavation of an archaeological site located in Pakistan. ...

After Geim and Novoselov’s discovery in 2004, the research interest in graphene applications in many different industrial sectors increased exponentially. The new material gained interest in the textile industry for its ...

Sun exposure has several health benefits; however, awareness and caution are recommended by using sunscreen to counter photo-aging and photo-carcinogenesis processes. Nanoparticles (NPs), in recent years, have been widely ...

Cancer is a vast group of diseases caused by mutations in the human DNA that result in an uncontrollable growth of cells which can spread around the body. Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Advancements ...

Electrocatalysts that offer an improved intrinsic catalytic and kinetic activity with adequate stability in oxidative electrochemical environments are quintessential in the catalysis of oxygen evolution reactions (OER) for ...
