Preanalytical issues and cycle threshold values in SARS-CoV-2 real-time RT-PCR testing: should test results include these?

Ilka Engelmann, Enagnon Kazali Alidjinou, Judith Ogiez, Quentin Pagneux, Sana Miloudi, Ilyes Benhalima, Mahdi Ouafi, Famara Sané, Didier Hober, Alain Roussel, Christian Cambillau, David Devos, Rabah Boukherroub, Sabine Szunerits

Since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, clinical laboratories worldwide are overwhelmed with SARS-CoV-2 testing using the current gold standard: real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays. The large numbers of suspected cases led to shortages in numerous reagents…

Oxygen vacancy engineering of TaO$_x$-based resistive memories by Zr doping for improved variability and synaptic behavior

João Palhares, Yann Beilliard, F. Alibart, Everton Bonturim, Daniel de Florio, Fabio Fonseca, Dominique Drouin, Andre Ferlauto

Resistive switching (RS) devices are promising forms of non-volatile memory. However, one of the biggest challenges for RS memory applications is the device-to-device (D2D) variability, which is related to the intrinsic stochastic formation and configuration of oxygen vacancy (V$_O$) conductive…

Alginate Nanoparticles Enhance Anti-Clostridium perfringens Activity of the Leaderless Two-Peptide Enterocin DD14 and Affect Expression of Some Virulence Factors

H. Zgheib, Y. Belguesmia, Rabah Boukherroub, D. Drider

Here, we report a novel approach to improve the anti-Clostridium perfringens activity of the leaderless two-peptide enterocin 14 (EntDD14), produced by Enterococcus faecalis 14. This strategy consists of loading EntDD14 onto alginate nanoparticles (Alg NPs), which are made of a safe polymer. The…
