Tailoring modifications of polysaccharides in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Abstract The covalent modification of prokaryotic cell envelope glycans, namely lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and (lipo)teichoic acids, with discrete substituents such as sugars, amino...
Mixed reality for upper-limb stroke rehabilitation
The recovery of the functional use of the upper limb is a main goal of rehabilitation in stroke survivors.Despite the development of many rehabilitation programs, upper limb paresi...
Metabolic mechanisms underpinning obesity-driven pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies, showing a high rate of metastatic spread and a dismal prognosis. With almost no effective treatment options, new therapies...
Magnetic Sounding of Mars
Magnetic sounding is a powerful tool to explore the interior structure of a planetary body because electrical conductivity carries information on mineralogy, temperature and volati...
Analysis of “difficult” proteins by microfluidic-based hydrogen/deuterium exchange
Many proteins important in biology or disease are not amenable to traditional methods for structural analysis as they cannot be isolated in sufficient amounts nor studied directly...
MIcro- and NAno-Plastics in AGRIricultural Soils: sources, environmental fate and impacts on ecosystem services and overall sustainability
Plastic use in agriculture has tremendously increased in the past decades resulting in soil pollution with plastic residues forming besides macroplastics micro (MP) and nanoplastic...
Using virtual reality to investigate dynamic tracking and situation awareness in football
Football (i.e., soccer) is the most influential sport in the world.In order to interact with the environment properly, a football player needs to track the ball, his/her teammates...
ENZYMATIC RECYCLING OF WASTE COOKING OILS FOR THE PLASTIC INDUSTRY
