Comparative Study of Electrochemical Biosensors Based on Highly Efficient Mesoporous ZrO2‑Ag-G-SiO2 and In2O3‑G-SiO2 for Rapid Recognition of E. coli O157:H7

Influence of chemical composition and discontinuities on energy transformation and rock mass behaviour: Insights into geological dynamic

Abstract In this study, efforts were made to incorporate the influence of discontinuities and failure modes of rock into the classification of rock masses. The past tectonic activities may create microfractures in the rock body therefore th...

Study on Association Between Lipid Profile Values and Psychiatric Disorders

Background: Cholesterol is especially abundant in nervous system, where it plays important role in different aspects of cellular structure (e.g. fluidity of cell membranes) and function (e.g. membrane). Several studies showed that there ...

In silico design of a triple-negative breast cancer vaccine by targeting cancer testis antigens

Introduction: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an important subtype of breast cancer, which occurs in the absence of estrogen, progesterone and HER-2 receptors. According to the recent studies, TNBC may be a cancer testis antigen (CT...

Research Progress of Conjugated Nanomedicine for Cancer Treatment

The conventional cancer therapeutic modalities include surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Although immunotherapy and targeted therapy are also widely used in cancer treatment, chemotherapy remains the cornerstone of tumor treatment. Wi...

In vitro antimicrobial and antileishmanial evaluation of green-synthesized ZnO nanoparticles from Cirsium arvense

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains poses a serious public health challenge, urging the need for alternative therapeutic approaches. This study presents, for the first time, the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticle...

CO2 transformation to multicarbon products by photocatalysis and electrocatalysis

The excessively high atmospheric CO2 concentration is associated with rapidly evolving industrial, commercial, and residential uses of fossil fuels, which has caused global warming and climate crisis. Photocatalytic or electrocatalytic redu...
