Carbon nanotubes as anti-bacterial agents. [PDF]
Cell Mol Life Sci, 2017 Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections that have evolved via natural selection have increased alarmingly at a global level. Thus, there is a strong need for the development of novel antibiotics for the treatment of these infections. Functionalized carbon nanotubes through their unique properties hold great promise in the fight against multidrug ...

Improving of Robotic Virtual Agent's errors that are accepted by reaction and human's preference [PDF]
International Conference on Social Robotics, Dec 2023, 2023 One way to improve the relationship between humans and anthropomorphic agents is to have humans empathize with the agents. In this study, we focused on a task between an agent and a human in which the agent makes a mistake. To investigate significant factors for designing a robotic agent that can promote humans empathy, we experimentally examined the ...

Galacto-oligosaccharides as an anti-bacterial and anti-invasive agent in lung infections
Biomaterials, 2022 Emerging antimicrobial resistance in infections asks for novel intervention strategies. Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) might be attractive alternatives to antibiotics due to their anti-inflammatory and anti-adhesive properties. Mannheimia haemolytica is one of the major Pasteurellaceae associated with bovine lung infections. Using M.
