Metal substrate catalysis in the confined space for platinum drug delivery
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022)
[EN] Catalysis-based approaches for the activation of anticancer agents hold considerable promise. These principally rely on the use of metal catalysts capable of deprotecting inactive precursors of organic drugs or ...
Urban environment and cognitive and motor function in children from four European birth cohorts
(Elsevier, 2022-01)
[EN]Background: The urban environment may influence neurodevelopment from conception onwards, but there is no evaluation of the impact of multiple groups of exposures simultaneously. We investigated the association between ...
Reviewing in situ analytical techniques used to research Martian geochemistry: From the Viking Project to the MMX future mission
(Elsevier, 2022-03-08)
[EN] The study of space has always been a field of great interest and thus space missions are becoming more and more ambitious with time. Therefore, with the 50th anniversary of the first spacecraft to land on Mars, a ...
Radiationless mechanism of UV deactivation by cuticle phenolics in plants
(Nature Research, 2022-04)
[EN] Hydroxycinnamic acids present in plant cuticles, the interphase and the main protective barrier between the plant and the environment, exhibit singular photochemical properties that could allow them to act as a UV ...
Can aluminum, a non-redox metal, alter the thermodynamics of key biological redox processes? The DPPH-QH2 radical scavenging reaction as a test case
(Elsevier, 2022-02-01)
[EN] The increased bioavailability of aluminum has led to a concern about its toxicity on living systems. Among the most important toxic effects, it has been proven that aluminum increases oxidative stress in biological ...
A Review on Current Strategies for the Modulation of Thermomechanical, Barrier, and Biodegradation Properties of Poly (Butylene Succinate) (PBS) and Its Random Copolymers
(MDPI, 2022-03-03)
The impact of plastics on the environment can be mitigated by employing biobased and/or biodegradable materials (i.e., bioplastics) instead of the traditional “commodities”. In this context, poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) ...
Evaluation of the Circular Economy in a Pitahaya Agri-Food Chain
(MDPI, 2022-03-03)
Over the last decade, the circular economy (CE) has attracted attention due to the current unsustainable model of production and consumption, which involves an increased resource use and depletion. Agri-food is one of the ...
Drug-refractory myasthenia gravis: Clinical characteristics, treatments, and outcome
(Wiley, 2022-02)
[EN] Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients with refractory myasthenia gravis (MG) and to determine the effectiveness and side effects of the drugs used for their treatment. Methods: ...
Multiple-view flexible semi-supervised classification through consistent graph construction and label propagation
(Elsevier, 2022-02)
Graph construction plays an essential role in graph-based label propagation since graphs give some information on the structure of the data manifold. While most graph construction methods rely on predefined distance ...
Changes in health-related quality of life as a marker in the prognosis in COPD patients
(European Respiratory Society, 2022-01)
[EN] Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is understood as a complex, heterogeneous and multisystem airway obstructive disease. The association of deterioration in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with mortality ...
