Eucalyptus-enhanced cotton: pretreatment and bioactive coating strategies for t...

Eucalyptus essential oils and extracts are widely recognized for their antimicrobial, antioxidant, insecticidal, anti-inflammatory, and aromatizing properties, making them highly valuable across pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and textiles. For the design of biomedical textiles, cotton is favored for its mechanical strength, porosity, and biodegradability, but its vulnerability to microbial action limits its applic...

Bioeconomy in textile industry: industrial residues valorization toward textile...

Industrial residues are sources of functional biopolymers with interesting properties for textile applications. This study aims to evaluate the impact of enzymatic pre-treatment on oil yield and phenolic compounds content in an aqueous extraction process, as well as the functional properties incorporated into textiles. This research investigated the influence of residue granulometry, biomass percentage, and the...

Planting sustainability: A comprehensive review of plant fibres in needle-punch...

Natural fibres have garnered substantial attention because of their eco-friendly attributes and versatility, offering a sustainable alternative to synthetic ones. This review surveys plant fibres, including flax, hemp, jute, banana, and pineapple, emphasizing their diverse properties and applications in nonwoven materials. This research also examines the use of synthetic polymer composites blended with natural ...

Electrochemical Aptasensor for the Detection of the Key Virulence Factor YadA o...

New point-of-care (POC) diagnosis of bacterial infections are imperative to overcome the deficiencies of conventional methods, such as culture and molecular methods. In this study, we identified new aptamers that bind to the virulence factor Yersinia adhesin A (YadA) of Yersinia enterocolitica using cell-systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (cell-SELEX). Escherichia coli expressing YadA on ...

Novel biorecognition elements against pathogens in the design of state-of-the-a...

Infectious agents, especially bacteria and viruses, account for a vast number of hospitalisations and mortality worldwide. Providing effective and timely diagnostics for the multiplicity of infectious diseases is challenging. Conventional diagnostic solutions, although technologically advanced, are highly complex and often inaccessible in resource-limited settings. An alternative strategy involves convenient ra...

Collagen-coated magnetic nanoparticles to capture pathogens

Background The conventional method of diagnosing bacterial infections is based on microbial culture, however this method can take several hours or even days and lacks sensitivity. In the past few decades, the use of immunological and molecular techniques such as ELISA, PCR and mass spectrometry are used to diagnose infections. While these methods can be highly sensitive and reliable, they often require sample p...

Selection and validation of DNA aptamers against Yersinia Enterocolitica and Mo...

Silk-based anisotropical 3D biotextiles for bone regeneration

Bone loss in the craniofacial complex can been treated using several conventional therapeutic strategies that face many obstacles and limitations. In this work, novel three-dimensional (3D) biotextile architectures were developed as a possible strategy for flat bone regeneration applications. As a fully automated processing route, this strategy as potential to be easily industrialized. Silk fibroin (SF) yarns w...
