Melatonin is mainly produced in the mammalian pineal gland during the dark phase. Its
secretion from the pineal gland has been classically associated with circadian and circanual …

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is a central regulator of inflammation, and TNF-α
antagonists may be effective in treating inflammatory disorders in which TNF-α plays an important …

Obesity, from declining estrogen levels after menopause, increases the risk of heart disease,

We propose a reliable fabrication process enabling the integration of dielectric and metallic
nanostructures on the tip of optical fibers, thus representing a further step in the “lab-on-fiber” …

The integration of microfluidics and photonic biosensors has allowed achievement of
several laboratory functions in a single chip, leading to the development of photonic lab-on-a-chip …

The so called “Triple Negative Breast Cancer”(TNBC) represents approximately 15-20% of
