Serum Thioredoxin-80 is associated with age, ApoE4, and neuropathological biomarkers in Alzheimer’s disease: a potential early sign of AD
(BMC, 2022)
[EN] Background: Thioredoxin-80 (Trx80) is a cleavage product from the redox-active protein Thioredoxin-1 and has been previously described as a pro-inflammatory cytokine secreted by immune cells. Previous studies in our ...
Is national identity in crisis? An assessment of national imaginations in the early 2020s
(Wiley, 2022-04)
[EN] The current context of a worldwide pandemic has once again sparked debate about the bleak future of nationalism. For those who support this view, the fact that long-lasting national identities are being decisively ...
Study of Unpicked Grapes Valorization: A Natural Source of Polyphenolic Compounds and Evaluation of Their Antioxidant Capacity
(MDPI, 2022-03-21)
Every year great amounts of high-quality wine grapes are left on the vine unpicked, and consequently lost, to control the overproduction in wine areas with limited appellation production yield. In the context of circular ...
Peri-Gondwanan Provenance and Geodynamic Evolution of The Guadaiza Nappe (Alpujarride Complex, Betic Cordilleras, Spain): Insights on The Paleotethyan Paleogeography
(MDPI, 2022-03-05)
Based on the LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon ages of four metamorphic samples, we discuss the geochronology and provenance of the Guadaiza nappe, an allochthonous unit that underlies the Ronda peridotites (Betic Cordilleras, Spain). ...
Fractional Order PID Design for a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell System Using an Extended Grey Wolf Optimizer
(MDPI, 2022-02-23)
This paper presents a comparison of optimizers for tuning a fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, which were applied to a DC/DC boost converter. ...

(MDPI, 2022-03-30)
Consumer-to-shop clothes retrieval refers to the problem of matching photos taken by customers with their counterparts in the shop. Due to some problems, such as a large number of clothing categories, different appearances ...
A Bioinformatics-Assisted Review on Iron Metabolism and Immune System to Identify Potential Biomarkers of Exercise Stress-Induced Immunosuppression
(MDPI, 2022-03-21)
The immune function is closely related to iron (Fe) homeostasis and allostasis. The aim of this bioinformatics-assisted review was twofold; (i) to update the current knowledge of Fe metabolism and its relationship to the ...
Soft Colloidal Particles at Fluid Interfaces
(MDPI, 2022-03-11)
The assembly of soft colloidal particles at fluid interfaces is reviewed in the present paper, with emphasis on the particular case of microgels formed by cross-linked polymer networks. The dual polymer/colloid character ...
Participatory Guarantee Systems: When People Want to Take Part
