From a physical perspective biological cells consist of active soft matter that exist in a thermodynamic state far from equilibrium.

When a single pulse of a laser beam heats the sensor tip which is in contact with the surrounding liquids or microsphere/cells, the temperature change in the sensor is reliant on the thermal properties of the surrounding sample.

Abstract:
Nanoparticles (NPs) are versatile tools for nanomedicine and tuning features such as material, size and charge, imaging and targeting can be accomplished. However, NPs behaviour in vivo is modified upon interaction with the biological matter and formation of a protein corona (PC) coating the NP. The PC determines the NP biological identity and it is the ultimate interface with the surrounding environment. Therefore, a deep characterization of the NPs in biological media is important to predict adverse effects and improve NPs design. The aim of this thesis was to understand the effect of the PC

Abstract:
Trypanosoma brucei species are vector-borne protozoan parasites that cause Human African typanosomiasis (HAT) and nagana in cattle. In humans, the diseases caused by these parasites are fatal if left untreated. Treatments for these diseases are complicated because the approved drugs for treatment are ineffective against the parasites and have many toxic side effects associated with their use. There is a clear need to identify new therapeutics that are less toxic and more effective against T. brucei. Our approach for identifying new therapies is to identify novel targets in the parasite that ca

En los últimos años hemos sido testigos de la identificación de múltiples familias de receptores inmunológicos. En este contexto encontramos la recientemente descrita familia IREM/CD300 localizada en la región cromosómica 17q25.1 y restringida en expresión a las células de origen mieloide. El locus humano se compone de dos genes codificantes para receptores con propiedades inhibidoras (IRp60/CD300a y IREM-1/CD300f), dos genes codificantes para receptores con naturaleza activadora (IREM-2/CD300e y IREM-3/CD300b) y dos genes codificantes para receptores con características que no permiten su inc

Abstract:
Analysis of E. coli strains SK1047 and SK1048 have shown them to be temperature-sensitive, protein-synthesis deficient. An alteration in ribosomal protein L22 was detected in both strains using two dimensional gel electrophoresis. Protein L22 was purified from both strains by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography and from two dimensional electrophoretic gels. Purified ribosomal protein L22 was labeled by reductive methylation and used in 23S RNA binding assays with and without ribosomal protein L4. At the permissive temperature, protein L22 from SK1047 bound less efficiently th

Les membranes cellulaires sont impliquées dans de nombreux processus cellulaires : la diffusion des médicaments et des ions, la transduction des signaux, la génération d'énergie, le développement cellulaire (fusion et fission). Les bicouches phospholipides sont les principaux composants des membranes cellulaires, elles constituent une barrière dynamique protégeant les réactions biochimiques cellulaires. La détermination des propriétés biochimiques et mécaniques des bicouches lipidiques et leur évolution avec les conditions environnementales est nécessaire pour étudier la nature des processus c
