Currently, the humanity is encountering two major crises: energy deficiency and global warming. In order to resolve these crises, we should consider maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing its usage. Furthermore, we should develop alternative energy sources (e.g. wind, solar…
Silicon carbide (SiC) microporous membranes were prepared by the pyrolysis of thin allyl-hydridopolycarbosilane (AHPCS) films coated, using a combination of slip-casting and dip-coating techniques, on tubular SiC macroporous supports. Combining slip-casting with dip-coating sign…
The solute carrier (SLC) SLC16 gene family comprises 14 members and encodes for monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), which mediate the absorption and distribution of monocarboxylic compounds across plasma membranes. As the knowledge about their physiological function, activity, …
Sea anemones produce pore-forming toxins, actinoporins, which are interesting as tools for cytoplasmic membranes study, as well as being potential therapeutic agents for cancer therapy. This investigation is devoted to structural and functional study of the Heteractis crispa act…
