Capture and visualization of biological 3D samples through lightfield imaging and display techniques
2022
La microscopía óptica convencional proporciona imágenes de alta resolución de muestras microscópicas. Sin embargo, su escasa profundidad de campo y su falta de seccionado óptico hacen que sea inadecuada para la observación de especímenes tridimensionales. Para solucionar este problema, se han propuesto varias técnicas de microscopía 3D, la mayoría de ellas basadas en procedimientos de escaneo. La microscopía lightfield, en cambio, es una técnica de reciente desarrollo, que es capaz de capturar información 3D de muestras gruesas en una sola toma. Esto se consigue registrando de forma simultánea la información espacial y angular de los rayos procedentes de cada punto del objeto. Esta caracter…
Exploring Bioequivalence of Dexketoprofen Trometamol Drug Products with the Gastrointestinal Simulator (GIS) and Precipitation Pathways Analyses
2019
The present work aimed to explain the differences in oral performance in fasted humans who were categorized into groups based on the three different drug product formulations of dexketoprofen trometamol (DKT) salt&mdash
Artificial cartilage bio-matrix formed of hyaluronic acid and Mg2+-polyphosphate.
2016
Here we show that inorganic polyphosphate (polyP), a polyanionic metabolic regulator consisting of multiple phosphate residues linked by energy-rich phosphoanhydride bonds, is present in the synovial fluid. In a biomimetic approach, to enhance cartilage synthesis and regeneration, we prepared amorphous polyP microparticles with Mg2+ as counterions. The particles were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopic (FTIR) analyses. Similar particles were obtained after addition of Mg2+ ions to a solution containing hyaluronic acid, as a major component of the synovial fluid, and soluble Na-polyP. The viscous paste-like ma…
Immobilized Pd on magnetic nanoparticles bearing proline as a highly efficient and retrievable Suzuki–Miyaura catalyst in aqueous media
2015
A magnetically retrievable nanocatalyst was evaluated for amicrowave assisted Suzuki–Miyaura reaction in aqueous media.Excellent yields and conversions were obtained with low Pd loadings(down to 0.01 mol% Pd). It was stable up to 6 months in waterunder aerobic conditions and efficiency remained unaltered evenafter 7 repeated cycles. Refereed/Peer-reviewed
High content and dispersion of Gd in bimodal porous silica: T2 contrast agents under ultra-high magnetic fields
2022
Silica-based UVM-7-type bimodal mesoporous materials with high gadolinium content (∞ ≥ Si/Gd ≥ 13) have been synthesized through a one-pot surfactant-assisted procedure from hydroalcoholic solution using a cationic surfactant as template, and starting from atrane complexes of Gd and Si as inorganic precursors. The novel synthetic pathway developed in the study preserves the UVM-7-type architecture while optimizing the dispersion of the Gd-guest species at the nanoscale and even at atomic level. It has been determined that the number of Gd atoms forming clusters is always less than 10. The behaviour under exposure to ultra-high magnetic fields reveals a significant increase in the transversa…
Spin Wave Emission from Vortex Cores under Static Magnetic Bias Fields
2021
We studied the influence of a static in-plane magnetic field on the alternating-field-driven emission of nanoscale spin waves from magnetic vortex cores. Time-resolved scanning transmission X-ray microscopy was used to image spin waves in disk structures of synthetic ferrimagnets and single ferromagnetic layers. For both systems, it was found that an increasing magnetic bias field continuously displaces the wave-emitting vortex core from the center of the disk toward its edge without noticeably altering the spin-wave dispersion relation. In the case of the single-layer disk, an anisotropic lateral expansion of the core occurs at higher magnetic fields, which leads to a directional rather th…
Microencapsulation of Enteric Bacteriophages in a pH-Responsive Solid Oral Dosage Formulation Using a Scalable Membrane Emulsification Process
2019
A scalable low-shear membrane emulsification process was used to produce microencapsulated Escherichia coli-phages in a solid oral dosage form. Uniform pH-responsive composite microparticles (mean size ~100 µ
Effect of Stacking Sequence and Sodium Bicarbonate Treatment on Quasi-Static and Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Flax/Jute Epoxy-Based Composites
2019
The present paper deals with the investigation of quasi-static and dynamic mechanical response of epoxy-based composites reinforced with flax and/or jute plain weave fabrics. In order to evaluate the influence of the stacking sequence, two monolithic laminates reinforced with flax or jute fibers and two hybrid flax/jute laminates were manufactured through the vacuum infusion technique. Furthermore, an eco-friendly and cost-effective surface treatment based on fiber soaking in a sodium bicarbonate solution was employed to improve the fiber-matrix adhesion. The mechanical characterization (by means of quasi-static flexural, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and Charpy impact tests) allowed …
Entering the Nano-Cosmos of the Cell by Means of Spatial Position Determination Microscopy (SPDM): Implications for Medical Diagnostics and Radiation…
2013
During the last 20 years fluorescence light microscopy has made an enormous progress towards fluorescence nanoscopy in order to elucidate the nanostructural organization of cellular machineries beyond classical limits of resolution in light microscopy. One of these novel techniques is Spatial Position Determination Microscopy (SPDM), an approach of molecular localization microscopy based on the application of specific fluorescence labelling of cellular structures by means of dyes that undergo reversible photobleaching resulting in blinking effects during image acquisition. This blinking allows spectral separation of individual molecules and thus precise localization and distances measuremen…
