Since the COVID-19 outbreak, researchers have tried to characterise the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 to better understand the pathogenic mechanisms of the virus and prevent further dissemination. As a consequence, there has been a bloom in scientific research papers focused on the behaviour of the virus in different environmental contexts. Neverthe...

Antibiotics are considered emerging pollutants as their presence in the environment is increasingly common. Although their environmental concentrations are generally low, they can pose risk to organisms through bioaccumulation, causing sublethal effects. Furthermore, solar radiation can trigger reactions in certain compounds after their accumulatio...

Harsh or extreme environmental conditions largely determine the vegetative and reproductive development of plants. In the case of cultivated plants, their growth and yield are clearly diminished if they are exposed to severe conditions such as drought, waterlogging, extreme heat or cold, UV radiation, or toxic substances in the soil such as salts, ...

Lumisterol (L3) is a stereoisomer of 7-dehydrocholesterol and is produced through the photochemical transformation of 7-dehydrocholesteol induced by high doses of UVB. L3 is enzymatically hydroxylated by CYP11A1, producing 20(OH)L3, 22(OH)L3, 20,22(OH)2L3, and 24(OH)L3. Hydroxylumisterols function as reverse agonists of the retinoic acid-related or...

Establishing and understanding large format paintings are key to provide accurate information about the artist’s palette and developing conservation strategies. Therefore, investigating the artworks of a population offers insight into its culture, history and origins which reveals individual and collective identity through cultural heritage worldwi...

Mechanisms of ageing and development
Human skin functions go beyond serving only as a mechanical barrier. As a complex organ, the skin is capable to cope with external stressors cutaneous by neuroendocrine systems to control homeostasis. However, constant skin exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes progressive damage to cellular skin constituents, mainly due excessive reactive ...

UV exposure is the main risk factor for development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). While early detection greatly improves cSCC prognosis, locally advanced or metastatic cSCC has a severely impaired prognosis. Notably, the mechanisms of progression to metastatic cSCC are not well understood. We hypothesized that UV exposure of already ...

AbstractThis work deals with the preparation of biocomposites from low-density polyethylene modified by bio-fillers such as fish bones and fish scale and with the study of their dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss depending on the temperature and on the amount of bio-fillers, before and after irradiation with ultraviolet rays. The studies w...

The polyextremophilic strain Acinetobacter sp. Ver3 isolated from high-altitude Andean lakes exhibits elevated tolerance to UV-B radiation and to pro-oxidants, a feature that has been correlated to its unusually high catalase activity. The Ver3 genome sequence analysis revealed the presence of two genes coding for monofunctional catalases: AV3 KatE...
