Antimicrobial Properties of α-MSH and Related Synthetic Melanocortins by A. Catania, G. Colombo, C. Rossi, A. Carlin, A. Sordi, C. Lonati, F. Turcatti, P. Leonardi, P. Grieco, S. Gatti

“…Several properties of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) suggested that it could be a natural antimicrobial peptide. α-MSH is a primordial peptide that appeared during the Paleozoic era, long before adaptive immunity developed and, like natural antimicrobial molecules, is produced by barrier epithelia, immunocytes, and within the central nervous system. α-MSH was discovered to have antimicrobial activity against two representative pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. …”

Band anisotropy and effective mass renormalization in strained metallic VO2 (101) thin films by A. D’Elia, V. Polewczyk, A. Y. Petrov, G. Vinai, L. Li, C. W. Zou, S. J. Rezvani, A. Marcelli

“…Abstract We explore how strain impacts the band structure of metallic-phase VO2 thin films deposited on TiO2(101) substrates. Employing a combination of X-ray absorption linear dichroism and valence band measurements, we demonstrate that strain can alter the intrinsic band structure anisotropy of metallic VO2. …”
