Brero F, Calzolari P, Albino M, Antoccia A, Arosio P, Berardinelli F, et al.
Nanomaterials (Basel) . 2023 Mar; 13(5). PMID: 36903670
We present an investigation of the effects on BxPC3 pancreatic cancer cells of proton therapy combined with hyperthermia, assisted by magnetic fluid hyperthermia performed with the use of magnetic nanoparticles....

Pitton S, Negri A, Pezzali G, Piazzoni M, Locarno S, Gabrieli P, et al.
Sci Rep . 2023 Feb; 13(1):3041. PMID: 36810640
Adult mosquito females, through their bites, are responsible for the transmission of different zoonotic pathogens. Although adult control represents a pillar for the prevention of disease spread, larval control is...

Brambilla E, Locarno S, Gallo S, Orsini F, Pini C, Farronato M, et al.
Polymers (Basel) . 2022 Sep; 14(17). PMID: 36080699
Thermogelling amphiphilic block copolymers have been widely investigated in the development of pharmaceutical drug carriers. In particular, thermosensitive gels based on poloxamer 407 (P407) have great potential for periodontal disease...

Piazzoni M, Negri A, Brambilla E, Giussani L, Pitton S, Caccia S, et al.
Soft Matter . 2022 Aug; 18(34):6443-6452. PMID: 35983789
Biological methods for mosquito larvae control are completely biodegradable and have null or limited effects on nontarget organisms. However, commercially available products have a low residual activity, with the consequent...

Locarno S, Eleta-Lopez A, Lupo M, Luisa Gelmi M, Clerici F, Bittner A
RSC Adv . 2022 May; 9(36):20565-20572. PMID: 35515570
We investigate the electrospinning of small molecules, specifically designed peptide derivatives of the pyrazole-isothiazole scaffold. Such non-natural peptides enhance the spectrum of fundamental materials used for electrospinning. Unlike standard electrospun...

Locarno S, Argentiere S, Ruffoni A, Maggioni D, Soave R, Bucci R, et al.
RSC Adv . 2022 May; 10(17):9964-9975. PMID: 35498617
The exploitation of self-assembled systems to improve the solubility of drugs is getting more and more attention. Among the different types of self-assembled biomaterials, peptides and in particular peptides containing...

Scotti M, Arosio P, Brambilla E, Gallo S, Lenardi C, Locarno S, et al.
Gels . 2022 Apr; 8(4). PMID: 35448105
The development of Fricke gel (FG) dosimeters based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as the gelling agent and glutaraldehyde (GTA) as the cross-linker has enabled significant improvements in the dose response...
