Peptide-drug conjugates are therapeutic agents that combine one or more drug molecules with a peptide through a biodegradable linker. Even if the peptides used in synthesis of such conjugates have a smaller pharmacological action than the small molecule of organic drug, they easily penetrate the membranes and then bind to receptors. Peptide-drug conjugates are used in various fields, such as: (i) anticancer therapy; (ii) antimicrobial application; (iii) anti-inflammatory application. In the last decades, researche...

Fast increase of Earth population during the last decades raised a serious problem when it came to providing fresh and good quality food (mainly vegetables) in big quantity over a short period of time. Due to relatively long lifecycles of plants when growing in gardens or fields, the best solution consisted in using greenhouses. Greenhouses proved to be a very important solution since they are capable of operating regardless of local environments if minimum requirements (heating and water) are provided. By offerin...
