Self-Directed Neurofeedback Treatment for Subjective Tinnitus Patients Evaluated by Multimodal Functional Imaging by Xiaoyan Ma, Fangyuan Wang, Chi Zhang, Weidong Shen, Shiming Yang

“…Those in the NFB group underwent 15 NFB training sessions over 5 weeks, in addition to pre- and posttraining tests including the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), Tinnitus Handicap Questionnaire (THQ), visual analog scales (VAS), electroencephalography (EEG), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Our result find that when the THI, THQ, and VAS scores of patients in the two groups were assessed after a 5-week training period, these scores were unchanged in control patients whereas they had significantly improved in the NFB group patients. …”

Functional improvement of natural Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains by cell surface molecular engineering by Sara Granuzzo, Monica Rossetto, Lucio Zennaro, Francesca Righetto, Paolo Antoniali, Raffaele Lopreiato

“…Abstract Background Cellular boundaries of microorganisms can be modified by the expression in the cell wall of specific proteins endowed with relevant properties, improving their functional performance. So far, the surface display (SD) technique had been widely employed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but it was limited to few laboratory strains and never explored in sauvage strains, i.e., isolated from natural environment, which are featured by higher levels of genetic variability, leading to peculiar phenotypic traits of possible advantage in biotechnology. …”
