Biopharmaceuticals for Cancer Treatment: An Update
ABSTRACT Cancer is one of the most debilitating diseases, causing profound physical and psychological impacts on patients. The global number of cancer patients has been steadily rising over the last few decades. The development of effective cancer therapies remains the primary focus in life science research, requiring a precise understanding of ...

Insecticide@Silica Nanocontainers with High Cypermethrin Load and Improved Photostability
Cypermethrin@Octylsilicate core@shell nanocontainers (total diameter: 34 nm, diameter of cypermethrin core: 15 nm) exhibit high colloidal stability in water and high photochemical stability of the insecticide, allowing to reduce reapplication cycles and, thus, time and costs of insecticide application.

Abstract Bacterial persisters show tolerance to bactericidal antibiotics and play essential roles in chronic infections; however, the general mechanisms underlying persister formation and antibiotic tolerance remain insufficiently characterized. In this study, the Escherichia coli Keio library was used to identify genes involved in ciprofloxacin ...

Caracterização da interação HipAB na Shewanella oneidensis MR1 [PDF]
Mestrado em BioquímicaBacterial resistance is a major issue in research related to environmental and public health, due to the ineffectiveness of antibiotics, resulting from a subpopulation of bacterial cells entering a dormant state.

Geometric Properties of Isostables and Basins of Attraction of Monotone Systems [PDF]
In this paper, we study geometric properties of basins of attraction of monotone systems. Our results are based on a combination of monotone systems theory and spectral operator theory.

An Optimal Control Formulation of Pulse-Based Control Using Koopman Operator [PDF]
In many applications, and in systems/synthetic biology, in particular, it is desirable to compute control policies that force the trajectory of a bistable system from one equilibrium (the initial point) to another equilibrium (the target point), or in ...

Regulating Toxin-Antitoxin Expression: Controlled Detonation of Intracellular Molecular Timebombs
Genes for toxin-antitoxin (TA) complexes are widely disseminated in bacteria, including in pathogenic and antibiotic resistant species. The toxins are liberated from association with the cognate antitoxins by certain physiological triggers to impair ...

A competence-regulated toxin-antitoxin system in Haemophilus influenzae.
Natural competence allows bacteria to respond to environmental and nutritional cues by taking up free DNA from their surroundings, thus gaining both nutrients and genetic information.
