Sobre IBD

The agricultural sector is significantly impacted by climate change, leading to increased occurrences of droughts, floods, and heatwaves, which affect crop yields and soil quality. This issue is compounded by a rising agricultural water demand projected to double by 2050, alongside decreasing freshwater supplies, intensifying the need for sustainable agricultural solutions. Nanotechnology offers promising approaches to improve agricultural sustainability through the use of slow-release fertilizers, targeted pesticide delivery, and disease-detecting sensors that reduce chemical usage and pollution. Additionally, nanotechnology enables sustainable pest control methods, such as green synthesis of antibacterial nanomaterials, improving environmental outcomes. Compared to traditional biotechnology, nanotechnology provides precise intervention in plant biochemical processes, enhancing crop yields, nutrient absorption, and soil quality while supporting wastewater treatment and resilience against environmental stress.

  • Viral Replication Complexes
    Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that need to co-opt a living cell’s machinery for replication. At the heart of the viral replication machinery are the nucleic acid polymerases, which are responsible for efficiently copying the viral genome. This process must often be coordinated with other viral processes, including protein translation and viral packaging. The poly...

  • Advances in Flavivirus Research
    The flaviviruses are composed almost entirely of arthropod-borne viruses, a subset of which are responsible for millions of cases of human disease each year. Among these viruses are dengue virus—a scourge throughout the tropical regions of Asia and the Americas; yellow fever virus—the “original” hemorrhagic fever virus; and the recently emerged Zika virus. While the flaviviruse...

    Lesley J. Rogers / Lesley JRogers
    This edited book brings together research reports on the asymmetry of brain function in various species, including humans, dogs, birds, lizards and bees. As shown in a wide range of species, and, as we now know, not solely in humans, the left and right sides of the brain process information in different ways and control different responses or patterns of behaviour. Since this d...

  • The Epithelialto- Mesenchymal Transition ( EMT ) in Cancer
    Joëlle Roche
    The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly dynamic process with multiple transitional states, by which epithelial cells can convert into a mesenchymal phenotype. This process involves loss of cellular adhesion and cellular polarity, and an improvement in migratory and invasive properties. It occurs during normal embryonic development, tissue regeneration, organ ...
