The immediate and delayed effects of single tDCS session over posterior parietal cortex on face-word associative memory
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2019)
Associative memory (AM), an ability to form and retrieve associations between information units is crucial for everyday functioning and is affected by aging as well as by different neurological conditions. It was shown ...
Modulation of hepatic inflammation and energy-sensing pathways in the rat liver by high-fructose diet and chronic stress
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2019)
Purpose High-fructose consumption and chronic stress are both associated with metabolic inflammation and insulin resistance. Recently, disturbed activity of energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) was recognized ...
Protozoan parasite babesia microti subverts adaptive immunity and enhances lyme disease severity
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019)
Lyme disease is the most prominent tick-borne disease in the United States. Co-infections with the tick-transmitted pathogens Babesia microti and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto are becoming a serious health problem. ...
Demographic and socio-economic predictors of diet quality among adults in Bosnia and Herzegovina
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2019)
Objective: To evaluate associations of demographic and socio-economic factors with diet quality among population subgroups in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). Design: A cross-sectional analysis of 2017 B&H dietary survey data. ...
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 ...
The interplay between copper(II), human serum albumin, fatty acids, and carbonylating agent interferes with Cys 34 thiol reactivity and copper binding
(Springer, New York, 2019)
Cys34 thiol group of human serum albumin (HSA) represents major plasma antioxidant. Its reactivity is influenced by multiple factors. The influence of fatty acids (FA; saturated, mono, and poly unsaturated acids from fish ...
Probing primary mesenchymal stem cells differentiation status by micro-Raman spectroscopy
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
We have employed micro-Raman spectroscopy to get insight into intrinsic biomolecular profile of individual mesenchymal stem cell isolated from periodontal ligament. Furthermore, these cells were stimulated towards adipogenic, ...
Standardized Aronia melanocarpa Extract as Novel Supplement against Metabolic Syndrome: A Rat Model
(MDPI, Basel, 2019)
The aim of our study was to examine the effects of different dietary strategies, high-fat (HFd) or standard diet (Sd) alone or in combination with standardized oral supplementation (0.45 mL/kg/day) of Aronia melanocarpa ...
Influence of chemical fixation process on primary mesenchymal stem cells evidenced by Raman spectroscopy
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
In investigation of (patho)physiological processes, cells represent frequently used analyte as an exceptional source of information. However, spectroscopic analysis of live cells is still very seldom in clinics, as well ...
Improving the reporting quality of intervention trials addressing the inter-individual variability in response to the consumption of plant bioactives: quality index and recommendations
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2019)
Key messages The reporting quality of human studies on inter-individual variation in response to plant bioactives is generally low and should be significantly improved. There is no specific guidance for reporting studies ...
