The Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique, through which monolayers are transferred from the
air/water interface onto a solid substrate, was the first method to allow for the controlled …

Lipidomics has been proving that membrane lipids play a crucial role in several cell
functions and are involved in several pathologies, including cancer. In fact, beyond a …

This study investigates the potentiality of nanosphere colloidal suspensions as sustained

Taxol (paclitaxel) is a highly-oxygenated diterpenoid natural product first isolated from the
pacific yew tree (Taxus brevifolia). It is one of the most widely used anticancer drugs. Soon …

The amounts of antibiotics of anthropogenic origin released and accumulated in the
environment are known to have a negative impact on local communities of microorganisms …

Paclitaxel (PTX) is a widely used anti-tumor agent in the treatment of solid tumors. Lack of
