Among botanical extracts used as insecticides, essential oils (EOs) are promising alternatives to chemical insecticides. EOs synthesized by plants, and they play a key role in plant signaling processes including also attractiveness toward pollinators beneficial insects. Plant species producing (over 17,000 species) called aromatic plants distributed worldwide. Our review aims evaluate research studies published the last 15 years concerning use of stored product protection. More than 50%...
Familial epilepsies are often caused by mutations of voltage-gated Na + channels, but correlation genotype–phenotype is not yet clear. In particular, the cause phenotypic variability observed in some epileptic families unclear. We studied v 1.1 (SCN1A) channel α subunit M1841T mutation, identified a family characterized particularly large spectrum. The mutant loss function because when expressed alone, current was no greater than background. Function restored incubation at temperature...
Post-harvest pest control can rely on few approved pesticides and tools; hence, there is a rising interest in new sustainable, eco-friendly approaches. In this study, eight commercial essential oils (EOs) (anise Pimpinella anisum, artemisia Artemisia vulgaris, fennel Foenicum vulgare, garlic Allium sativum, lavender Lavandula angustifolia, mint Mentha piperita, rosemary Rosmarinus officinalis, sage Salvia officinalis) were selected for their bioactivity availability, then formulated...
Introduction Autologous T-cells transduced to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) directed against CD19 elicit high response rates in relapsed or refractory (r/r) B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). However, r/r B-NHL remissions are durable fewer than half of recipients second-generation CAR T-cells. Third-generation (3G) CARs employ two costimulatory domains, resulting improved T-cell efficacy vitro and animal models vivo. This investigator-initiated, phase I dose escalation trial,...
Abstract The ecotoxicological consequences of synthetic pesticides have encouraged stakeholders to search for eco-friendly pest control tools, like essential oils (EOs). Nano-delivery systems (nanoparticles and nano-emulsions) seem ideal developing EO-based biopesticides, although production processes should be standardized implemented. In this study, nano-emulsions loaded with a high amount Allium sativum L. EO (15%) were developed using different mixed bottom-up/top-down processes. Garlic...
Monocyte-derived conventional dendritic cells (ConvDCs) loaded with melanoma antigens showed modest responses in clinical trials. Efficacy studies were hampered by difficulties ConvDC manufacturing and low potency. Overcoming these issues, we demonstrated higher potency of lentiviral vector (LV)-programmed DCs. Monocytes directly induced to self-differentiate into DCs (SmartDC-TRP2) upon transduction a tricistronic LV encoding for cytokines (granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor...
Honeybees are critically important for the environment and to economy. However, there in substantial decline worldwide, leading serious threat stability yield of food crops. Beekeeping is pivotal importance, combining wide economical aspect honey production ecological services provided by honeybees. In this scenario, prompt identification beekeeping areas strategic, since it maximised productivity lowered risks colony losses. Fuzzy logic an ideal approach problem-solving tasks, as...
Botanical extracts, in particular essential oils (EOs), could be the ideal candidates for development of biopesticides as an alternative to synthetic pesticides. However, some limitations EOs (high flammability, volatility, degradability, poor solubility water) prevent their use under real operational conditions. Nanotechnologies are useful tools overcome above-mentioned these natural substances. Furthermore, encapsulation nano-delivery systems (nanoparticles and nano-emulsions) can improve...
, commonly known as the Egyptian or African cotton leafworm, is a significant agricultural threat. It widely distributed in Africa, Mediterranean Europe, and Middle Eastern countries. This polyphagous pest infests numerous crop plants across 44 families, including cotton, soybeans, alfalfa, sweet potato, pepper, eggplant, tomato, maize, lettuce, strawberry, wheat, hibiscus. The damage caused by
The control strategies for the olive crop key pest, Bactrocera oleae, involve synthetic chemical insecticides and few eco-sustainable alternatives, such as ovideterrents lures. In last decades, interest concerning formulation of botanical based biopesticides increased, but little research investigated suitability these approaches B. oleae control. This aimed to investigate residual contact toxicity oviposition deterrence three essential oil (EO)-based nano-emulsions (Pimpinella anisum,...
Through the qualitative analysis of 81 semi-structured interviews academics from STEM fields, working in UK, Australia, and Italy, we support challenge previous literature on academic entrepreneurship. On one hand, our research supports studies which suggest that some find compatibility between their roles forms science commercialization knowledge transfer. The findings such an alignment takes place contexts (disciplinary, proximal) stimulate At same time, argue against idea fusion...
