Abstract Background The emergence and expansion of antibiotic resistance makes it necessary to have alternative anti-infective agents, among which silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) display especially interesting properties. AgNPs carry out their antibacterial action through various molecular mechanisms, the magnitude observed effect is dependent on multiple, not fully understood, aspects, particle shape being one most important. In this article, we conduct a study recently described type AgNP:...

Verticillium wilt and leaf mottle of sunflower, caused by the fungus dahliae (Vd) has become a major constraint to sunflower oil production in temperate European countries. Information about Vd from is very scarce despite genetics, molecular traits pathogenic abilities fungal strains affecting many other crops being widely known. Understanding characterizing diversity populations those countries where sunflowers are frequent severely affected essential for efficient breeding resistance. In...

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) play an important role in the medical field due to their potent antimicrobial activity. This, together with constant emergence of resistance drugs, means AgNPs are often investigated as alternative solve this problem. In article, we analyzed antifungal and antiamoebic effects a recently described type AgNP, silver nanorings (AgNRs), compared them other types AgNPs. Tests activity against various fungal amoebic species were carried out. all cases, showed high...

Small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) regulate different processes and undergo significant alterations in various diseases. Colon carcinomas (CCs) are heterogeneous pathologies with important clinical molecular differences depending on their location, which makes it interesting to analyze the SLRPs right- left-sided tumors (RS- LSCCs). SLRP transcription levels were studied 32 CCs using qPCR compared healthy colon mucosae samples from same patients, 20 of them LSCCs remaining 12 RSCCs....

The scarcity of potable water emphasizes the urgent need to develop and implement more sustainable treatment technologies, considering both energy consumption environmental impact. These technologies require effective disinfection systems that avoid use chemicals. Innovations in this area, utilizing UV-LED technology, can significantly improve efficiency, reduce costs, mitigate impacts. This study aimed evaluate antimicrobial properties various encapsulated UV light-emitting diodes (LEDs)...
