Emerging anticancer activity of candidal glucoseamine-6-phosphate synthase inhibitors upon nanoparticle-mediated delivery
PublicationNumerous glutamine analogues have been reported as irreversible inhibitors of the glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN-6-P) synthase in pathogenic Candida albicans in the last 3.5 decades. Among the reported inhibitors, the most effective N3-(4-methoxyfumaroyl)-L-2,3- diaminopropanoic acid (FMDP) has been extensively studied in order to develop its more active analogues. Several peptide−FMDP conjugates were tested to deliver FMDP to its...

Fatigue behaviour of SLM maraging steel under variable-amplitude loading
PublicationOne of the most challenging issues for additive manufactured materials is fatigue endurance. Engineering components often operate under complex, variable amplitude loadings, in which existing technological imperfections promote fatigue cracks growth and damage of elements eventually. In this study the effects of different variable-amplitude strain levels on fatigue life, 18Ni300 steel was tested. The work presents various behaviours...
