Small molecules acting on myofilaments as treatments for heart and skeletal muscle diseases
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are the most prevalent forms of the chronic and progressive pathological condition known as cardiomyopathy. These diseases have different aetiologies; however, they share the feature of haemodynamic abnormalities which is mainly due to dysfunction in the contractile proteins that ma...
Microbiome Analysis from Paired Mucosal and Fecal Samples of a Colorectal Cancer Biobank.
...Published in Cancers
The role of gut microbiota in colorectal cancer is subject to extensive research. Before usage of biorepositories for microbiome studies, it is crucial to evaluate technical feasibility of microbiome profiling from various biospecimens. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of DNA-extraction and microbiome profiling of samples from di...

Cellular consequences of coenzyme Q10 deficiency in neurodegeneration of the retina and brain
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a ubiquitous cofactor in the body, operating in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it plays a vital role in the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the electron transport chain (ETC). In addition to this, CoQ10 serves as an antioxidant, protecting the cell from oxidative stress by reactive oxygen species ...
Effect of ultrasound on leaching of lead from landfilled metallurgical residues
The potential of ultrasound as a process intensification technique in the extraction of lead from a landfilled metallurgical residues is explored. The silent or non-sonicated process makes use of acidic sodium chloride as the leachate with lead leaching in the range of 45% if a three-stage process is followed. The mixture was sonicated in a batch s...

Engineering bacterial cellulose by synthetic biology
Synthetic biology is an advanced form of genetic manipulation that applies the principles of modularity and engineering design to reprogram cells by changing their DNA. Over the last decade, synthetic biology has begun to be applied to bacteria that naturally produce biomaterials, in order to boost material production, change material properties an...
Promoting Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Activity of Graphitic Carbon Nitride with Hole-Transfer Agents
...
Visible light-driven photocatalytic reduction of protons to H2 is considered a promising way of solar-to-chemical energy conversion. Effective transfer of the photogenerated electrons and holes to the surface of the photocatalyst by minimizing their recombination is essential for achieving a high photocatalytic activity. In general, a sacrificial e...
Towards High Performance Chemical Vapour Deposition V2O5 Cathodes for Batteries Employing Aqueous Media
The need for clean and efficient energy storage has become the center of attention due to the eminent global energy crisis and growing ecological concerns. A key component in this effort is the ultra-high performance battery, which will play a major role in the energy industry. To meet the demands in portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, ...
