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 ...
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 ...
Mononuclear silver(I) complexes with 1,7-phenanthroline as potent inhibitors of Candida growth
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2018)
Mononuclear silver(I) complexes with 1,7-phenanthroline (1,7-phen), [Ag(NO3-O,O') (1,7-phen-N7)(2)] (1) and [Ag(1,7-phen-N7)(2)]X, X = ClO4- (2), CF3SO3- (3), BF4- (4) and SbF6- (5) were synthesized and structurally ...
Second generation of diazachrysenes: Protection of Ebola virus infected mice and mechanism of action
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2019)
Ebola virus (EBOV) causes a deadly hemorrhagic fever in humans and non-human primates. There is currently no FDA-approved vaccine or medication to counter this disease. Here, we report on the design, synthesis and anti-viral ...
Ultraviolet-B component of sunlight stimulates photosynthesis and flavonoid accumulation in variegated Plectranthus coleoides leaves depending on background light
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2015)
We used variegated Plectranthus coleoides as a model plant with the aim of clarifying whether the effects of realistic ultraviolet-B (UV-B) doses on phenolic metabolism in leaves are mediated by photosynthesis. Plants were ...
Ortholog of BRCA2-interacting protein BCCIP controls morphogenetic responses during DNA replication stress in Ustilago maydis
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2007)
The BRCA2 tumor suppressor functions in repair of DNA by homologous recombination through regulating the action of Rad51. In turn, BRCA2 appears to be regulated by other interacting proteins. Dss1, a small interacting ...
Identification of novel potent and non-toxic anticancer, anti-angiogenic and antimetastatic rhenium complexes against colorectal carcinoma
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2020)
Combination therapy targeting both tumor growth and vascularization is considered to be a cornerstone for colorectal carcinomas (CRC) treatment. However, the major obstacles of most clinical anticancer drugs are their weak ...
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 ...
Mineralized agar-based nanocomposite films: Potential food packaging materials with antimicrobial properties
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
New mineralized, agar-based nanocomposite films (Zn-carbonate and Zn-phosphate/agar) were produced by a combination of in situ precipitation and a casting method. The presence of minerals significantly influenced the ...
Role of Blm and collaborating factors in recombination and survival following replication stress in Ustilago maydis
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2009)
Inactivation of the structural gene for the RecQ family member, BLM in human, Sgs1 in budding yeast, or Rqh1 in fission yeast leads to inappropriate recombination, chromosome abnormalities, and disturbed replication fork ...
