Iscador Qu inhibits doxorubicin-induced senescence of MCF7 cells
(Nature Publishing Group, London, 2017)
Chemotherapy in patients with inoperable or advanced breast cancer inevitably results in low-dose exposure of tumor-cell subset and senescence. Metabolically active senescent cells secrete multiple tumor promoting factors ...
Immobilization of Candida antarctica lipase B on kaolin and its application in synthesis of lipophilic antioxidants
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2017)
Lipase B from Candida antarctica was immobilized by adsorption onto laboratory prepared metakaolin. This support has great potential for enzyme immobilization since it has good mechanical characteristics and thermal stability ...
Approaches to mimic the complexity of the skeletal mesenchymal stem/stromal cell niche in vitro
(Ao Research Institute Davos-Ari, Davos, 2019)
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are an essential element of most modem tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approaches due to their multipotency and immunoregulatory functions. Despite the prospective value ...
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and low O-2 concentration (1%) synergize to improve the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (Pre-CFC)
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2007)
Low O-2 concentration (1%) favors the self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells and inhibits committed progenitors (CFC). Since IL-6 influences both stem cells and committed progenitors at 20% O-2, we studied its effects ...
Anthocyanins and their gut metabolites attenuate monocyte adhesion and transendothelial migration through nutrigenomic mechanisms regulating endothelial cell permeability
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2018)
Cardioprotective effects of dietary anthocyanins are partly attributed to their ability to maintain endothelial function. However, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of action are not fully understood. This ...
Effects of acute administration of ethanol on the rat adrenal cortex
(Alcohol Res Documentation Inc Cent Alcohol Stud Rutgers Univ, Piscataway, 2003)
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a single dose of ethanol on rat adrenal cortex and to determine whether the estrous cycle can influence this effect of ethanol. Method: Adult female ...
Synthesis, structure and characterization of novel Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes with the condensation product of 2-formylpyridine and selenosemicarbazide Antiproliferative activity of the synthesized complexes and related selenosemicarbazone complexes
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2010)
Two novel Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes with the condensation product of 2-formylpyridine and selenosemicarbazide were synthesized. The structure of Cd(II) complex was determined by X-ray crystallography. The ligand is ...
Association of Fibronectin With Hypogalactosylated Immunoglobulin G in Gingival Crevicular Fluid in Periodontitis
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2010)
Background: Fibronectin (FN) can bind to immunoglobulins (Ig), influencing both the normal clearance and abnormal deposition of circulating immune complexes. This study focuses on the possible interaction between FN and ...
Effects of Nitric Oxide on Red Blood Cell Development and Phenotype
(Current Topics in Developmental Biology, 2008)
Nitric oxide (NO) is a diffusible free radical generated primarily by NO synthases (NOS), isoenzymes that convert the l-arginine and molecular oxygen to citrulline and NO in cells. Endothelial cells as well as macrophages, ...
How does the quality of surveys for nutrient intake adequacy assessment compare across Europe? A scoring system to rate the quality of data in such surveys
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2009)
Research was conducted within the EURopean micronutrient RECommendations Aligned (EURRECA) Network of Excellence, to find the best practice in assessing nutrient intakes. Objectives include: to search for and use data on ...
