Dissolution of copper mineral phases in biological fluids and the controlled release of copper ions from mineralized alginate hydrogels
(IOP Publishing Ltd, Bristol, 2015)
Here we investigate the dissolution behaviour of copper minerals contained within biocompatible alginate hydrogels. Copper has a number of biological effects and has most recently been evaluated as an alternative to expensive ...
Complementary approaches for the evaluation of biocompatibility of Y-90-labeled superparamagnetic citric acid (Fe,Er)(3)O-4 coated nanoparticles
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2017)
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are of immense interest for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in medicine. Design and development of new iron oxide-based MNPs for such applications is of rather limited breadth without ...
The antitumor properties of a nontoxic, nitric oxide-modified version of saquinavir are independent of Akt
(Amer Assoc Cancer Research, Philadelphia, 2009)
Application of the HIV protease inhibitor saquinavir (Saq) to cancer chemotherapy is limited by its numerous side effects. To overcome this toxicity, we modified the original compound by covalently attaching a nitric oxide ...
Virulence traits associated with Burkholderia cenocepacia ST856 epidemic strain isolated from cystic fibrosis patients
(Biomed Central Ltd, London, 2017)
Background: Burkholderia cenocepacia is considered one of the most problematic cystic fibrosis (CF) pathogens. Colonization prevalence in the Serbian CF population is high and virtually exclusively limited to a single ...
The characterisation of lactic acid bacteria during the fermentation of an artisan Serbian sausage (Petrovska Klobasa)
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2011)
Petrovska Klobasa is an artisan Serbian sausage made only from meat and spices without any additives or starter cultures. In order to characterise lactic acid bacteria (LAB) microflora, a total number of 404 LAB strains ...
Factor V Leiden mutation and high FVIII are associated with an increased risk of VTE in women with breast cancer during adjuvant tamoxifen - Results from a prospective, single center, case control study
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2015)
Background: Estimates of the risk ratio of tamoxifen-associated venous thromboembolism(VTE) in breast cancer patients range from 2.4 to 7.1. The occurrence of thrombosis in patients with breast cancer complicates the ...
From qualitative data to quantitative models: analysis of the phage shock protein stress response in Escherichia coli
(BMC, London, 2011)
Background: Bacteria have evolved a rich set of mechanisms for sensing and adapting to adverse conditions in their environment. These are crucial for their survival, which requires them to react to extracellular stresses ...
Shortening of the Lactobacillus paracasei subsp paracasei BGNJ164 AggLb Protein Switches Its Activity from Auto-aggregation to Biofilm Formation
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2016)
AggLb is the largest (318.6 kDa) aggregation-promoting protein of Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei BGNJ1-64 responsible for forming large cell aggregates, which causes auto-aggregation, collagen binding and pathogen ...
Water deficit down-regulates miR398 and miR408 in pea (Pisum sativum L.)
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Paris, 2014)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), recently recognized as important regulator of gene expression at post-transcriptional level, have been found to be involved in plant stress responses. The observation that some miRNAs are up- or down ...
Thrombosis and pregnancy in hereditary thrombophilias
