Biotechnology Applications of Nanocarbons in Plant and Algal Systems

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Alice Judith Gillen, Alessandra Antonucci

The unique combination of structural, optical, and electronic properties of nanocarbons (NCs) has made these materials particularly attractive for various applications in biotechnology and biomedicine, ranging from sensing, gene-delivery, bioimaging and th ...

Mechanistic studies of DNP and applications of hyperpolarized probes to study renal physiology and metabolism

Alice Radaelli

Dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (dDNP) is a powerful technique that enhances the magnetic resonance signal of nuclear spins by several orders of magnitude. DNP relies on the principle of cross-relaxation by electron spins driven out of equilibrium ...

In silico voltage-sensitive dye imaging reveals the emergent dynamics of cortical populations

Henry Markram, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Michael Reimann, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Taylor Howard Newton, Grigori Chevtchenko

Voltage-sensitive dye imaging (VSDI) is a powerful technique for interrogating membrane potential dynamics in assemblies of cortical neurons, but with effective resolution limits that confound interpretation. To address this limitation, we developed an in ...

Mammalian membrane trafficking as seen through the lens of bacterial toxins

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Francisco De Magalhães Sarmento R De Mesquita, Oksana Andrei Sergeeva

A fundamental question of eukaryotic cell biology is how membrane organelles are organised and interact with each other. Cell biologists address these questions by characterising the structural features of membrane compartments and the mechanisms that coor ...

Nano-imaging trace elements at organelle levels in substantia nigra overexpressing alpha-synuclein to model Parkinson's disease

Bernard Schneider, Graham Knott, Philippe Colin

Sub-cellular trace element quantifications of nano-heterogeneities in brain tissues offer unprecedented ways to explore at elemental level the interplay between cellular compartments in neurodegenerative pathologies. We designed a quasi-correlative method ...

Interaction of Fluorescent Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes with Photosynthetic Microbes

Alessandra Antonucci

The discovery of carbon-based nanomaterials has impacted a variety of research areas in ways that could not be imagined three decades ago. Their unique combination of structural, optical, and electronic properties has made these nano-sized materials partic ...

FasR Regulates Fatty Acid Biosynthesis and Is Essential for Virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Claudia Sala

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiologic agent of human tuberculosis, is the world's leading cause of death from an infectious disease. One of the main features of this pathogen is the complex and dynamic lipid composition of the cell envelope, which adap ...

Antiproliferative Activities of Diimine-Based Mixed Ligand Copper(II) Complexes

Rosario Scopelliti

A series of Cu(diimine)(X-sal)(NO3) complexes, where the diimine is either 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and X-sal is a monoanionic halogenated salicylaldehyde (X = Cl, Br, I, or H), have been synthesized and characterized by elementa ...

Loss of Bacterial Cell Pole Stabilization in Caulobacter crescentus Sensitizes to Outer Membrane Stress and Peptidoglycan-Directed Antibiotics

Gerardo Turcatti, Marc Chambon, Julien Bortoli Chapalay

Rod-shaped bacteria frequently localize proteins to one or both cellpoles in order to regulate processes such as chromosome replication or polar organ-elle development. However, the roles of polar factors in responses to extracellularstimuli have been gene ...

Modeling biochemical reaction networks in complex intracellular environments

Daniel Robert Weilandt

Whether one aims to design treatments for diseases such as cancer or diabetes, engineer cells to produce valuable biochemicals sustainably, or to grasp the behavior of living organisms, it is essential to understand how cells react to genetic, environmenta ...

Phase behaviour and structure of a model biomolecular condensate

Julian Charles Shillcock

Phase separation of immiscible fluids is a common phenomenon in polymer chemistry, and is recognized as an important mechanism by which cells compartmentalize their biochemical reactions. Biomolecular condensates are condensed fluid droplets in cells that ...
