Pulsed ultraviolet-light technology and ecoinnovations for safeguarding consumer health and fragile seafood industry from norovirus outbreaks
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Contamination of water and food are responsible by many outbreaks and deaths worldwide, caused by failures in production, ineffective disinfection techniques, proximity to sources of contamination, and human intervention ...
Modification of hyaluronic acid for stereolithography 3D printing of hydrogel nerve conduits
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
The peripheral nervous system transmits signals from the brain to the limbs and organs of the
body. Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) resulting from trauma, illness or cancer affect
approximately 1 million people in Europe ...
β-glucan metabolic and immunomodulatory properties and potential for clinical application
(MDPI, 2020-12-10)
β-glucans are complex polysaccharides that are found in several plants and foods, including mushrooms. β-glucans display an array of potentially therapeutic properties. β-glucans have metabolic and gastro-intestinal effects, ...
β-Glucan
(MDPI, 2021)
β-glucans are a key active ingredient in mushrooms and are also found in oats, barley, yeast, bacteria and algae. In microbial sources, they are a structural component and in grain sources, they are found in the endospermic ...
Performance of mycelial biomass and exopolysacccharide from Malaysian Ganoderma lucidum for the fungivore red hybrid Tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) in Zebrafish embyro.
(Elsevier, 2020-07)
Natural mycelial biomass (MB) and extracted exopolysaccharide (EPS) from the pre-grown Malaysian Ganoderma lucidum mushroom are both considered as high-end materials due to their high commercial value in the aquaculture ...

(Springer, 2021-11-19)
Anal fistulae are abnormal hollow connections between the wall of the anal canal and the
perianal skin around the anus that have remained a burden on the medical sector for centuries.
The complexity of this disease is ...
Use of Zebrafish embryo assay to evaluate toxicity and safety of bioreactor-grown exopolysaccharides and endopolysaccharides from European Ganoderma applanatum mycelium for future aquaculture applications
(MDPI, 2021-02-07)
Natural mycelial exopolysaccharide (EPS) and endopolysaccharide (ENS) extracted from
bioreactor-cultivated European Ganoderma applanatum mushrooms are of potential high commercial
value for both food and adjacent ...
Mechanism of formation, characterization and cytotoxicity of green synthesized zinc nanoparticles obtained from Ilex paraguariensis leaves extract
(Elsevier, 2020-10)
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) was produced using Ilex paraguariensis (mate) leaves extract using a green synthesis process. The influence of ethanolic and aqueous plant extract and zinc source on the green synthesis ...
Genomes of Anguillid Herpesvirus 1 strains reveal evolutionary disparities and low genetic diversity in the Genus Cyprinivirus
(MDPI, 2021-05-05)
Anguillid herpesvirus 1 (AngHV-1) is a pathogen of eels and a member of the genus
Cyprinivirus in the family Alloherpesviridae. We have compared the biological and genomic fea tures of different AngHV-1 strains, focusing ...
Synchronizing use of sophisticated wet-laboratory and in-field handheld technologies for real-time monitoring of key microalgae, bacteria and physicochemical parameters influencing efficacy of water quality in a freshwater aquaculture recirculation system: A case study from the Republic of Ireland.
(Elsevier, 2020-04-16)
There has been growing interest in exploiting microalgae as a natural process for low cost wastewater treatment and for water quality control and remediation in aquaculture. This constitutes the first study to report on a ...
