Silicon mediates sodium transport and partitioning in maize under moderate salt stress
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
Silicon (Si) is known to alleviate salt stress in various crops; however, the influence of Si on sodium (Na) transport and partitioning at the tissue, cell and organelle levels is poorly understood. Maize (Zea mays L.) ...
Probiotics or pro-healers: the role of beneficial bacteria in tissue repair
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2017)
Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms, known to exert numerous positive effects on human health, primarily in the battle against pathogens. Probiotics have been associated with improved healing of intestinal ulcers, and ...
A polyesterase from the Antarctic bacterium Moraxella sp. degrades highly crystalline synthetic polymers
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2022)
The uncontrolled release of plastics in the environment has rendered them ubiquitous around the planet, threatening the wildlife and human health. Biodegradation and valorization of plastics has emerged as an ecofriendly ...
In vitro digestion of meat- and cereal-based food matrix enriched with grape extracts: How are polyphenol composition, bioaccessibility and antioxidant activity affected?
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of enriching a complex food matrix (FM) with grape extracts on polyphenol content, composition, bioaccessibility and antioxidant activity during digestion. The grape extracts ...
Capability of exopolysaccharide-producing Lactobacillus paraplantarum BGCG11 and its non-producing isogenic strain NB1, to counteract the effect of enteropathogens upon the epithelial cell line HT29-MTX
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2015)
The putative protective role of the exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing Lactobacillus paraplantarum BGCG11, and its non-EPS-producing isogenic strain NB1, was tested upon HT29-MTX monolayers challenged with seven opportunistic ...
Synthesis and antimicrobial properties of Zn-mineralized alginate nanocomposites
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
New bioactive and antimicrobial biomaterials were produced by alginate-mediated biomineralization with Zn-mineral phase. The synthesis procedure is simple, cost-effective and resulted in. two different Zn-mineralized ...
Mutational analysis of Brh2 reveals requirements for compensating mediator functions
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2011)
Brh2, a member of the BRCA2 family of proteins, governs homologous recombination in the
fungus Ustilago maydis through interaction with Rad51. Brh2 serves at an early step in
homologous recombination to mediate Rad51 ...
Effects of DMSO, glycerol, betaine and their combinations in detecting single nucleotide polymorphisms of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene promoter sequence in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2016)
The aim of the study was to examine the effects of frequently used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) additives DMSO, glycerol and betaine on amplification of GC-rich epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene promoter ...
Poly (ε-caprolactone) microspheres for prolonged release of selenium nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2019)
Poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) microspheres as a carrier for sustained release of antibacterial agent, selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs), were developed. The obtained PCL/SeNPs microspheres were in the range 1–4 μm with the ...
Antioxidative response in variegated Pelargonium zonale leaves and generation of extracellular H2O2 in (peri)vascular tissue induced by sunlight and paraquat
(Elsevier Gmbh, Munich, 2016)
In this study we exposed variegated leaves of Pelargonium zonale to strong sunlight ( gt 1100 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) of photosynthetically active radiation) with and without paraquat (Pq), with the aim to elucidate the mechanisms ...
