Elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) is a widely disseminated plant that produces bright black berries containing high quantities of anthocyanins, acknowledged for their bioactivity and dye capacity.Besides other applications, anthocyanins might be employed as natural colouring agents to reduce/eliminate the use of artificial dyes, while providing positi
Summary: It is a long-standing challenge to accomplish bionic microrobot that acts in a similar way of white blood cell, chasing bacteria in complex environment.Without an effective external control field, most swarming microrobots systems are usually unable to perform directional movement and redirect their motion to capture the target.Here we rep
The circular bioeconomy requires the search for innovative solutions for the management of waste in the food supply chain, especially when it is possible to extract bioproducts with high market demand through innovative green processes.The cactus pear supply chain is not exempt from this process, as its production waste contains pectin (an aggregat
Introduction: Over the years the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) has drastically increased in developing countries as a major byproduct of industrialization.Many factors, such as the consumption of high-calorie diets and a sedentary lifestyle, bolster the spread of this disorder.Undoubtedly, the massive and still increasing incidence of Met
Abstract A central concept of evolutionary biology, supported by broad scale allometric analyses, asserts that changing morphology should induce downstream changes in opi meet my decorator locomotor kinematics and energetics, and by inference selective fitness.However, if these mechanistic relationships exist at local intraspecific scales, where th
