Water pollution is a significant worldwide problem, and research studies in this field are still in progress to find strategies for removing pollutants from water. Among the others, adsorption process seems to exhibit several advantages, especially when biomasses are in use. This work proposes biochar from olive pomace pyrolysis for adsorbing contaminants from water, in synergistic combination with TiO, for constituting water-stable and recyclable composite chitosan-based sponges.

It evaluated the drug's effect on Chromatin Assembly Factor-1 (CAF-1) expression, whose high levels correlate with worse prognosis of this cancer.
Methods: The effects of metformin, alone and with radiotherapy, were evaluated on CAL27 (HPV-) and SCC154 (HPV+) OSCC cells.
Article Synopsis
- Monitoring stranded marine mammals helps assess their health and conservation status within marine ecosystems globally.
- This study analyzes pathogen prevalence among cetaceans stranded in Italy from 2015 to 2020, highlighting the challenges faced during post-mortem examinations due to decomposition and logistics.
- Statistical findings indicate a correlation between age and sex of the mammals and the presence of pathogens, suggesting a need for improved diagnostic frameworks for better conservation strategies.

In the last years, 5-pyrazolyl ureas and 5-aminopyrazoles have been investigated for their antiangiogenetic properties and their potential interaction with the ubiquitous Ca binding protein Calreticulin. Based on the structure of the active compounds I and GeGe-3, novel 5-arylamino pyrazoles 2 and 3 were synthesized through a stepwise procedure. In MTT assays, all the new derivatives proved to be non-cytotoxic against eight different tumor cell lines, normal fibroblasts, and endothelial cells.
