Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Separation and hydrogenation of nitrate ions by micro-scale capacitive-faradaic fuel cells (CFFCs)
Electrochemistry Communications, 2020 A new electrochemical process is proposed for a zero-discharge removal of nitrate ions from water. The process utilizes micro-scale capacitive-faradaic fuel cells (CFFC) made of activated carbon particles loaded with a Pt-Cu catalyst capable of oxygen ...

Disposable electrochemical sensor for the detection of lead(II) ions in the natural water
International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2021 The leaching of metal ions from the mines may result in pollution of the surrounding waters. In this work, we propose a composite material that combines porous carbon and graphene (G-C), which shows a very high sensitivity to lead ions.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The pyruvate generator, which causes activation of respiration by extra‐mitochondrial Ca2+, is also present and functional in rat brainstem mitochondria, as it is in other brain regions. This finding is confirmed by experiments with a fully reconstituted malate–aspartate shuttle (MAS).

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Ion Beam Analyses of Carbon Nanotubes [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2005 The utility of ion beam analysis (IBA) techniques to quantitatively determine impurities in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) over a wide range of atomic numbers is demonstrated. Such techniques have not previously been used to monitor impurities and their effects in this unique material. Despite the difficulty in mounting the samples (which generally are formed

Mini-TEPC Microdosimetric Study of Carbon Ion Therapeutic Beams at CNAO
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 Mono-energetic carbon ion scanning beams of 195.2 MeV/u at the Italian National Centre for Oncological Hadrontherapy (CNAO) have been used to study the microdosimetric features of an “active” carbon ion beam used in hadrontherapy.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.EXOSC10, an essential nuclear RNA exosome‐associated 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease, is inhibited by the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), and EXOSC10 depletion increases 5‐FU sensitivity. The colon‐cancer variant EXOSC10S402T, located in a proteolysis motif, is stable and nuclear but nonfunctional in vivo.
