Measurement of folate in animal tissues is expensive and time-consuming.A fluorescence polarization assay has been developed that allows the rapid and inexpensive quantification of folate in various animal tissues.The concentration of tissue folate is determined by its ability to compete with the binding of Alexa-660-folate to bovine milk folate bi
Knowledge on the factors that determine the composition of bacterial communities in the vicinity of roots (rhizosphere) is essential to understand plant-soil interactions.Plant species identity, plant growth stage and soil properties have been indicated as major determinants of rhizosphere bacterial community composition.Here we show that the prese
Microstructured materials, namely metamaterials, are one of the most relevant topics of the recent period due to their interdisciplinary nature.Driven by their wide range of applications, we provide an overview of a class of elastic solids which embed dynamic Goalie - Goalie Mask - Senior microstructures capable of trapping energy when subject to d
