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 ...
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 ...
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.) ...
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 ...
Novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole-chalcone hybrids containing catechol moiety: synthesis, antioxidant activity, cytotoxicity and DNA interaction studies
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)
Hybrid compounds that combine the 1,3,4-thiadiazole-containing catechol moiety with a chalcone motif were synthesized and examined for their antioxidant activity, cytotoxicity, and DNA-binding activity. A series of thirteen ...
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 ...
Silver(I) complexes with phthalazine and quinazoline as effective agents against pathogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2016)
Five silver(I) complexes with aromatic nitrogen-containing heterocycles, phthalazine (phtz) and quinazoline (qz), were synthesized, characterized and analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Although different ...

(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2018)
Ethnopharmacological relevance: Trapa natans L. (water chestnut or water caltrop) is a widespread aquatic plant, which has been cultivated for food and traditional medicine since ancient times. Pharmacological studies ...
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 ...
