African Swine Fever Virus Gene B117L Encodes a Small Protein Endowed with Low-pH-Dependent Membrane Permeabilizing Activity
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-05-22)
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is causing a devastating pandemic in domestic and wild swine in Central Europe to East Asia, resulting in economic losses for the swine industry. The virus contains a large double-stranded ...
Lead-free FASnI3 laser amplifiers integrated in flexible waveguides
(Optica Publishing Group, 2022)
A FASnI3 lead-free perovskite is integrated in a flexible waveguide to demonstrate Amplified Spontaneous Emission. An extremely low threshold, 1 µJ/cm2, is observed together with the formation of narrow random lasing lines ...
Nanocomposition of PEDOT:PSS with metal phthalocyanines as promising hole transport layers for organic photovoltaics
(Elsevier, 2023)
PEDOT:PSS is one of the most widely used materials as a hole selective layer in organic photovoltaics due to its
easy processing and high reproducibility. Unfortunately, the material is limited when testing new ...
The P. aeruginosa effector Tse5 forms membrane pores disrupting the membrane potential of intoxicated bacteria
(Nature Research, 2022)
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa injects effector proteins into neighbouring competitors and host cells, providing a fitness advantage that allows this opportunistic nosocomial pathogen to ...
Big dynorphin is a neuroprotector scaffold against amyloid β-peptide aggregation and cell toxicity
(Elsevier, 2022)
Amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) misfolding into β-sheet structures triggers neurotoxicity inducing Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Molecules able to reduce or to impair Aβ aggregation are highly relevant as possible AD treatments since ...
