Molecular Fingerprints of Thyroid Cancer Cells by Using Library of Molecular Receptors Formed by N-Lipidated Peptides Immobilized on Cellulose
2018
This paper presents a novel diagnostic method using a library of molecular receptors to assess the composition of healthy and tumorous tissue samples. Molecular receptors were formed by self-organization of N-lipidated peptides attached in the regular fashion via aminophenylamino-1,3,5-triazine linkers to the surface of a cellulose plate. The library was cloned into multiple, identical copies. A new clone was used in each test. The binding process was monitored by staining the discs with Brilliant Black and quantitative color measure- ment was performed in 256-grade grayscale. Substantial differences in the composition of healthy and tumor samples were observed in most cases. The sharp diff…
Coupling a hydro-maritime model and remotely sensed techniques to assess the shoreline positioning uncertainty: the Marsala coast study case
2010
The severe erosion phenomena affecting the Mediterranean coasts are strictly related to geophysical characteristics and socio-economic pressures. This suggests the need of monitoring and modelling the phenomenon in order to quantify its strength. In fact, the shoreline position, as well as its temporal evolution, provides important information for designing defence structures and for the development of a coastal management plan. The shoreline has a dynamic nature as it changes both in the short and long period. Those changes are caused by geo-morphological (e.g. bars and barrier island development etc.) and hydrodynamic (wave motion, tides and flows) processes, as well as by sudden and fast…
