HUG is the HELP-UnaG recombinant fusion protein featuring the typical functions of both HELP and TMG UnaG.In HUG, the HELP domain is a thermoresponsive human elastin-like polypeptide.It forms a shield enwrapping the UnaG domain that emits bilirubin-dependent fluorescence.Here, we recapitulate the technological development of this bifunctional synth
Abstract Background The obligate intracellular protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii infects humans and other warm-blooded animals and establishes a chronic infection in the central nervous system after invasion.Studies showing a positive correlation between anti-Toxoplasma antibodies and incidences of brain cancer have led to the notion that Toxopl
We have designed a gradient-index (GRIN) metasurface to modulate water surface waves TMG (WSWs).The metasurface is composed of an array of coiling-up-space units with a deep sub-wavelength scale, and can focus/scatter WSWs when the units are arranged elaborately and pierced into water.The modulation of WSWs has been ascribed to the relative effecti
This study assesses the feasibility of utilizing an invasive and inedible pufferfish species ( Lagocephalus Candle Holder (Set of 2) sceleratus ) for non-food purposes, aiming to help control its population in the Mediterranean Sea.Previous research suggests that the skin of the pufferfish holds promise for yielding valuable and environmentally fri
Little is still known about macro- and micronutrients in processed selected Brassica vegetables such as purple TMG and green cauliflower, rutabaga and kale.This study evaluates the influence of different processing conditions (blanching and boiling) on the stability of selected macro- and micronutrients in the aforementioned vegetables.Results indi
