Low-molecular-weight peptide gelators are a versatile class of compounds able to form gels under a variety of conditions, even via simple ultrasound sonication.In this paper, the ability Extractors of Boc-L-Phe-D-Oxd-L-Phe-OBn to gelate three organic solvents (toluene, tert-butyl methyl ether, and ethanol) was evaluated.The rheological behaviour of
Abstract The escalating global challenge of antimicrobial resistance demands innovative approaches.This review delves into the current status and future prospects of bioengineered metallic nanoparticles derived from natural sources as potent antimicrobial agents.The unique attributes of metallic nanoparticles and the abundance of natural resources
Timely diagnosis of persistent neonatal hypoglycemia is critical to prevent neurological sequelae, but diagnosis is complicated by the heterogenicity of the causes.We discuss two cases at separate institutions in which clinical management was fundamentally altered by the results of molecular genetic testing.In both patients, critical samples demons
This study explores the bioactive secondary metabolite profiles of the peels of three major cultivars of bananas (Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana).These cultivars are primarily grown in Southeast Asia and are widely consumed due to their rich nutritional and fiber content.The research utilizes advanced analytical techniques, specifically HPLC-DA
Merozoites of Plasmodium falciparum invade through several pathways using different RBC receptors.Field isolates appear to use a greater variability of these receptors than laboratory isolates.Brazilian field isolates were shown to mostly utilize glycophorin A-independent invasion pathways via glycophorin B (GPB) and/or other receptors.The Brazilia
