G-quadruplexes are non-canonical DNA secondary structures formed within guanine-rich strands that play important roles in various biological processes, including gene regulation, telomere maintenance and replication. The functions formation of these strictly controlled by several proteins bind stabilize or resolve them. Many G-quadruplex-binding feature an arginine glycine-rich motif known as the RGG RG-rich motif. Although this plays a crucial role recognition such structures, their...
Epigenetic modifications of DNA are known to play important regulatory roles in biological systems, especially regulation gene expression, and associated with many types human diseases, including cancer. Alternative secondary structures, such as G-quadruplexes, can also influence transcription, thus suggesting that structures may represent a distinctive layer epigenetic information. G-quadruplex often go side by side, recent evidence reveals cytosine within loops G-quadruplexes role...
Abstract Foam formation in porous media is a topic of growing scientific and industrial interest due to its range applications, from daily life consumer products oil recovery. Despite the work done so far on foams flowing through complex structures, such as rigid media, this subject still needs be fully elucidated. An additional complexity problem arises when medium deformable, situation which has only been faced, our knowledge, modelling point view. In work, investigation foam deformable...
Dogs are the major reservoir of Leishmania infantum, causative agent canine visceral and cutaneous human leishmaniasis in Mediterranean basin. Canine leishmaniosis endemic Italy, particularly central southern regions, including islands. Here we show a preliminary, clinical, serological molecular study carried out Pantelleria island during 2017. In this study, clinically examined 136 dogs for presence symptoms compatible with leishmaniasis, determined titer anti‑Leishmania antibodies,...
Abstract An innovative experimental apparatus for the direct measurement of yield stress was conceived and realized. It is based on a torsion pendulum equipped with magnetic dipole rotating cylinder immersed in material to be investigated. The equilibrium state depends mechanical torque applied due an external induction field, elastic reaction suspension wire, shear stress. Experimental results are reported showing that behavior rotation angle, different conditions, provides evidence...
