Raman spectroscopy is a nondestructive technique that can provide information at the molecular level about the biochemicals in tissues. We have investigated the cellular regions in neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma using Raman spectroscopy and compared their spectral characteristics with those of the corresponding normal adrenal gland. Thin sections from both the frozen and the corresponding for...

background: reservation of blood leads to blood wastage if the blood is not transfused. therefore, in some centers only blood type and screen are evaluated. in this study, the efficacy of a blood crossmatch-to-transfusion ratio was measured and then compared with the standard levels. methods: this prospective study was conducted during one year in a university hospital. during this period, 398 ...

Background & Aim: Continuous use of antibiotics leads to drug resistance and thereby to a reduced efficacy of the drugs. Antibiotics accumulate in the environment and fish pose a potential risk to consumers and to the environment.Increased public awareness of the negative effects caused by overexposure to synthetic chemicals has led to the search for ‘‘green drugs’’, such as organic and synthet...

NordAqua is a multidisciplinary Nordic Center of Excellence funded by NordForsk Bioeconomy program (2017–2022). The research center promotes Blue and endeavours to reform the use natural resources in environmentally sustainable way. In this short communication, we summarize particular outcomes consortium. key progress includes (1) improving photosynthetisis, (2) developing novel photosynthetic ...

Metabolic engineering of microbial hosts for the production heterologous metabolites and biochemicals is an enabling technology to generate meaningful quantities desired products that may be otherwise difficult produce by traditional means. Heterologous metabolite can restricted accumulation toxic within cell. Efflux transport proteins (transporters) provide a potential solution facilitate expo...

BACKGROUND Although a transition toward sustainable production of chemicals is needed, the physiochemical properties of certain biochemicals such as biosurfactants make them challenging to produce in conventional bioreactor systems. Alternative production platforms such as surface-attached biofilm populations could potentially overcome these challenges. Rhamnolipids are a group of biosurfactant...

Climatic changes and the growing population call for innovative solutions that are able to produce biochemicals by adopting environmentally sustainable procedures. The biorefinery concept meets this requirement. However, one of main drawbacks biorefineries is represented feedstocks’ pretreatment. Lately, scientific research has focused on non-thermal plasma, which an pretreatment obtain a high ...

Only through renewable carbon source valorization will it be possible to obtain a high-impact transition from fossil-based system renewable-based [...]
