In general, the sample preparation for AFM-IR spectroscopic analysis includes the deposition of the EV-containing sample onto a solid surface or substrate (e.g., zinc selenide (ZnSe) prism, mica, and gold) to immobilize then sample, followed by drying of the sample for measurements. During ...
Purpose of the work: to study stress perception and the characteristic ways of overcoming stress, among university students on both sides of the EU’s eastern border in the context of the implementation of anti-pandemic strategies in Belarus, Poland, and the Russian exclave—Kaliningrad. The rese...
s resilience to wildfires; and (C) ES delivery losses are economically more consistent than suppression costs. We hypothesised that mixed-severity megafires amplify the spatial variability in ES losses, according to both the burn severity and the recovery of Mediterranean forest communities to wildfire...
These goals were reached using data from 147 georeferenced soil profiles distributed along 400–1000 m (≤1000) and 1000–2134 m (>1000) altitudinal gradients in the northern part of the Apennine chain in Italy. Soils showed mainly weak or incipient development (i.e., Entisols and Incept...
In these guidelines the ISEV endorses use of the term “small EVs (sEVs)” if the separated vesicles are below 200 nm and if the researchers cannot establish specific markers [30]. Here, a biomarker discovery study was performed using sEVs as sources of protein biomarkers, separated from...
Vitamin D has been associated with risk, development, and progression of cancer. However, the genes involved in its metabolism are highly polymorphic, compromising its activity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between the gene polymo
Automated measurement of the Cobb angle can be used during surgery to confirm the restoration of the functional alignment of the spine. The X-ray machine used specifically for surgery usually has a narrow field of view [23], and the image of the spine is longer than the machine’s field ...
Small rural places are largely absent from early medieval written sources, but they were profuse and relevant in regional settlements and economies. Only through archaeological and archaeobotanical investigation is it possible to unveil their structure a
Tissue engineering requires standardization of both the scaffolds (e.g., their porosity, chemistry, and controlled microarchitecture) and the cell culture conditions. The perception of the microenvironment is a crucial element in the self-organization of cells within spheroids/organoids [2]. Therefore...
