Selective drug delivery (nanoconjugates generated by the cell-targeted drug and a nanoscale vehicle) could be a great asset in cancer treatment. Due to biosafety problems of the nanomaterials studied so far, emerging nanobiotechnologies are pushing the development of fully...
Recently, researchers from two different departments of the UAB and the Materials Science Institute of Barcelona (CSIC), in collaboration with researchers from other institutions, have published two articles in the field of archeology that refute the common perception of thin-sections...
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a type of cancer characterized by the accumulation of mature B lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that, under normal conditions, together with T lymphocytes, are responsible for combating infections. Atypical chronic...
Synchrotron light has been used for the first time to simulate damages due to oxidative stress on the aldose reductase protein with the aim of obtaining its activated form. This form of the protein, related with some...
A study by the research group Bioinformatics of Genome Diversity at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), published in the journal Nucleic Acids Research, increases by 40% the total number of signals of natural selection...
This study proves that MALDI-TOF, a culture-based diagnostic tool able to identify a large variety of isolated bacteria, allows the identification and discrimination of NAS species (non-aureus staphylococci) in...
Improving argumentative competence is a social and educational imperative to help students to develop scientific thinking. It is basic that future teachers understand science and learn to build scientific reasoning during their...
A team of scientists at Artis International, a North American research institute dedicated to the analysis of violent conflicts, involving researchers from
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are used as antibacterial agents for the manufacture of textile materials with microbicidal properties. Researchers from the UAB Department of Chemistry, have satisfactorily stabilized these silver...
Because of its extraordinary properties, graphene has been studied as a new and promising material for electronics during the last fifteen years. The dynamic of electrons in graphene is modelled by...
