Amelogenin is a multifaced protein, playing an essential role in the formation of enamel where it directs the biomineralisation of hydroxyapatite. The self-assembling properties of amelogenin are highly applicable in the development of novel biomaterials and drug-delivery platforms, and the regenerative properties of the protein are today widely explored in clinical dentistry and wound healing.

In this study, Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) quality was analysed through its optical properties. Samples from the estuarine waters of the Beagle Channel and oceanic ones of the Burdwood Bank were examined in order to understand how DOM quality was changing. The focus of the study was to determine whether the environmental variables or the microbial community were the main driver in DOM compositi

From music and fashion, to television and film, the decade has made a sustained and emphatic return across many countries.
