Mouse models differ considerably fromhumans with regard to clinical symptoms of toxoplasmosis caused
by Toxoplasma gondii and, by comparison, the rat model is more representative of this disease in humans.
In the present study, we found that differ...

Urocortin - from Parkinson's disease to the skeleton (2014)
Journal Article
Urocortin (Ucn 1), a 40 amino acid long peptide related to corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) was discovered 19 years ago, based on its sequence homology to the parent molecule. Its existence was inferred in the CNS because of anatomical and pharma... Read More about Urocortin - from Parkinson's disease to the skeleton.
Graphene oxide interfaces in serum based autoantibody quantification (2014)
Journal Article
Xu, Q., Cheng, H., Lehr, J., Patil, A., & Davis, J. (2015). Graphene oxide interfaces in serum based autoantibody quantification. Analytical Chemistry, 87(1), 346-350. https://doi.org/10.1021/ac503890eA reliable quantification of protein markers will undoubtedly underpin profound developments in disease surveillance, diagnostics, and improved therapy. Although there potentially exist numerous means of achieving this, electrochemical impedimetric t... Read More about Graphene oxide interfaces in serum based autoantibody quantification.
Sputtering yields exceeding 1000 by 80keV Xe irradiation of Au nanorods (2014)
Journal Article
Using experiments and computer simulations, we find that 80 keV Xe ion irradiation of Au nanorods can produce sputtering yields exceeding 1000, which to our knowledge are the highest yields reported for sputtering by single ions in the nuclear collis...

Revealing DNA interactions with exogenous agents by surface-enhanced raman scattering (2014)
Journal Article
Masetti, M., Xie, H., Krpetic, Z., Recanatini, M., Alvarez-Puebla, R., & Guerrini, L. (2015). Revealing DNA interactions with exogenous agents by surface-enhanced raman scattering. Abstracts of papers / American Chemical Society, 137(1), 469-476. https://doi.org/10.1021/ja511398wThe standard protocols for DNA analysis largely involve polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, DNA structures bound to chemical agents cannot be PCR-amplified, and therefore any sequence changes induced by external agents may be neglected. Thus, t...

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 285, 445-452. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2014.10.020A microcosm experiment was conducted to investigate heavy metal release from the urban soils heavily
contaminated by past industrial activities. The aim was to assess the mobility of various heavy metals
under inundation with water. The results sho... Read More about Mobilization of heavy metals from urban contaminated soils under water inundation conditions.
