Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 114(6), 1365-1370. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1619665114

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have recently been shown to play important roles in mammalian host defenses against intracellular pathogens, but the molecular mechanism still needs to be clarified. We confirmed that human MSCs (hMSCs) pre-stimulated... Read More about Guanylate-binding Protein 1 (GBP1) contributes to the immunity of human mesenchymal stromal cells against toxoplasma gondii.

Potential effects of rainwater-borne hydrogen peroxide on pollutants in stagnant water environments (2017)
Journal Article
pollutants in stagnant water environments. Chemosphere, 174, 90-97. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2017.01.111

Microcosm experiments were conducted to examine the effects of rainwater-borne H2O2 on inactivation of water-borne coliforms, oxidation of ammonia and nitrite, and degradation of organic pollutants in canal and urban lake water. The results show that... Read More about Potential effects of rainwater-borne hydrogen peroxide on pollutants in stagnant water environments.

Detecting the shape of anisotropic gold nanoparticles in dispersion with single particle extinction and scattering (2017)
Journal Article
Marco A, C., P., Krpetic, Z., Tiziano, S., Qi, C., Marco, M., João M., D. A., …Kenneth A., D. (2017). Detecting the shape of anisotropic gold nanoparticles in dispersion with single particle extinction and scattering. Nanoscale, 8, https://doi.org/10.1039/C6NR08977A

The shape and size of nanoparticles are important parameters affecting the biodistribution, bioactivity, and toxicity. The high-throughput characterisation of nanoparticle shape in the dispersion is a fundamental prerequisite for realistic in vitro...

In Marine animal forests : the ecology of benthic biodiversity hotspots (1-24). Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-17001-5_52-1

Competition, predation, and facilitation mechanisms are the major drivers of biodiversity and community structure in marine benthic ecosystems. Habitat complexity is a determining factor of faunal richness and biodiversity in these communities. The s...

Background During chronic lung infections of cystic fibrosis patients Pseudomonas aeruginosa populations undergo extensive evolutionary diversification. However, the selective drivers of this evolutionary process are poorly understood. To test the e...
