Bone, tooth enamel, and dentin accumulate Sr2+, a natural trace element in the human body. Sr2+ comes from dietary and environmental sources and is thought to play a key role in osteoporosis treatments. However, the underlying impacts of Sr2+on bone mineralization remain unclear and the use of synthetic apatites (which are structurally different from bone mineral) and non-physiological conditions have led to contradictory results. Here, we report on the formation of a new Sr2+-rich and stable amorphous ...

The subject of this research concerns an innovative serial robot developed to introduce the laser ray technology in the on-line pipes cutting in a continuous process of production. The presence of different cutting constraints and the necessity of avoiding any robot collisions suggested the insertion of a redundant degree of freedom allowing infinite inverse kinematics solutions for the motion planning as well as for the movement optimization. The inverse kinematics requires to evaluate the pseudo- ...

Specific surface techniques can probe the interaction of cholesterol (Chol) with substances that are able to host and/or sequester this biomolecule, provided that the additives are properly assembled at the interface. Reports on inclusion complexes of Chol with β-cyclodextrins exist in the literature. Here we compare the interaction of β-cyclodextrin and cucurbiturils with Chol present in Langmuir phospholipid (dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, DPPC) monolayers, used as a biomembrane model. Cucurbiturils, ...

In Europe, Aedes albopictus is an invasive mosquito species known to be a major nuisance as well as a vector of a range of arboviruses. A number of studies have indicated that community participation programmes are an effective pest control tool to reduce mosquito populations. However, few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of a community-based approach in Europe. In this study, we examined two Ae. albopictus control strategies that implemented a community-based approach in northern Italy: ...

We consider a real, massive scalar field in BTZ spacetime, a 2+1-dimensional black hole solution of the Einstein's field equations with a negative cosmological constant. First, we analyze the space of classical solutions in a mode decomposition and we characterize the collection of all admissible boundary conditions of Robin type which can be imposed at infinity. Secondly, we investigate whether, for a given boundary condition, there exists a ground state by constructing explicitly its two-point ...

The success of a biomaterial relies on an appropriate interaction between the surface of that biomaterial and the surrounding environment; more specifically, the success of a biomaterial depends on how fluids, proteins, and cells interact with the foreign material. For this reason, the surface properties of biomaterial, such as composition, charge, wettability, and roughness, must be optimized for a desired application to be achieved. In this review we highlight different bioinspired approaches ...

Tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored ectoenzyme present on the membrane of matrix vesicles (MVs), hydrolyzes the mineralization inhibitor inorganic pyrophosphate as well as ATP to generate the inorganic phosphate needed for apatite formation. Herein, we used proteoliposomes harboring TNAP as MV biomimetics with or without nucleators of mineral formation (amorphous calcium phosphate and complexes with phosphatidylserine) to assess the role of the MVs' ...

Strontium is a natural trace element found in biominerals such as aragonitic coral skeletons and bone apatite. Sr2+substitution in biomaterials has been found to regulate the cellular metabolism, thus enhancing bone healing. Even though Ca2+ substitution for Sr2+ has been described in many phosphate minerals, the impact of such substitution on bioactivity and structure in pure carbonate phases has not been explored. Therefore, here we used a biomimetic approach to synthesize carbonate particles ...

As deep learning is mastering computer vision tasks, its application to digital pathology is natural, with the promise of aiding in routine reporting and standardizing results across trials. Deep learning features inferred from digital pathology scans can improve validity and robustness of current clinico-pathological features, up to identifying novel histological patterns, e.g., from tumor infiltrating lymphocytes.

Bone biomineralization is an exquisite process by which a hierarchically organized mineral matrix is formed. Growing evidence has uncovered the involvement of one class of extracellular vesicles, named matrix vesicles (MVs), in the formation and delivery of the first mineral nuclei to direct collagen mineralization. MVs are released by mineralization-competent cells equipped with a specific biochemical machinery to initiate mineral formation. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which ...

Calcium phosphate (CaP)-based ceramics are the most investigated materials for bone repairing and regeneration. However, the clinical performance of commercial ceramics is still far from that of the native tissue, which remains as the gold standard. Thus, reproducing the structural architecture and composition of bone matrix should trigger biomimetic response in synthetic materials. Here, we propose an innovative strategy based on the use of track-etched membranes as physical confinement to produce ...

Initiatives for reproducibility in the development of predictive biomarkers as the MAQC Consortium already underlined the importance of appropriate Data Analysis Plans (DAPs) to control for different types of bias, including data leakage from the training to the test set. In the context of digital pathology, the leakage typically lurks in weakly designed experiments not ...

Forests are key components of European multifunctional landscapes and supply numerous forest ecosystem services (FES) fundamental to human well-being. The sustainable provision of FES has the potential to provide responses to major societal challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, or rural development.

Abstract The presence of phosphate from different origins (inorganic, bioorganic) is found more and more in calcium carbonate-based biominerals. Phosphate is often described as being responsible for the stabilization of the transient amorphous calcium carbonate phase. In order to specify the composition of the mineral phase deposited at the onset of carbonated shell formation, the present study investigates, down to the nanoscale, the growing shell from the European abalone Haliotis tuberculata , using ...
