β-Carotene production from sugarcane molasses by a newly isolated Rhodotorula toruloides L/24-26-1.

Production of carotenoids by yeast fermentation is an advantaged technology due to its easy scaling and safety. Nevertheless, carotenoid production needs an economic culture medium and other efficient yeast stains. The study aims to isolate and identify a yeast strain capable of producing carotenoids using a cost-effective substrate.

Analysis of Adeno-Associated Virus Serotype 8 (AAV8)-antibody complexes using epitope mapping by molecular imprinting leads to the identification of Fab peptides that potentially evade AAV8 neutralisation.

Gene therapy is a promising approach for treating genetic disorders by delivering therapeutic genes to replace or correct malfunctioning genes. However, the introduced gene therapy vector can trigger an immune response, leading to reduced efficacy and potential harm to the patient. To improve the efficiency and safety of gene therapy, preventing the immune response to the vector is crucial.

Molecular imprinting as a tool for determining molecular markers: a lung cancer case.

Determining which cancer patients will be sensitive to a given therapy is essential for personalised medicine. Thus, it is important to develop new tools that will allow us to stratify patients according to their predicted response to treatment. The aim of work presented here was to use molecular imprinting for determining the sensitivity of lung cancer cell lines to ionising radiation based on cell surface proteomic differences.

Exploration of multifunctional properties of garlic skin derived cellulose nanocrystals and extracts incorporated chitosan biocomposite films for active packaging application.

For many years, garlic has been used as a condiment in food and traditional medicine. However, the garlic skin, which accounts for 25% of the garlic bulk, is considered agricultural waste. In this study, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and garlic extract (GE) from garlic skin were isolated and used as fillers to manufacture biocomposite films.
