Carbonic anhydrase related proteins (CARPs) X and XI are highly conserved across species and are predominantly expressed in neural tissues. The biological role of these proteins is still an enigma. Ray-finned fish have lost the CA11 gene, but instead possess
Toxicology and applied pharmacology, 287(3), 232-239 (2015-06-16)
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in the mechanism of ethanol (EtOH) teratogenicity, but the protective role of the embryonic antioxidative enzyme catalase is unclear, as embryonic activity is only about 5% of maternal levels. We addressed this question
Facilitated preparation of bioconjugatable zwitterionic quantum dots using dual-lipid encapsulation.
Journal of colloid and interface science, 437, 140-146 (2014-10-15)
Zwitterionic quantum dots prepared through incorporated zwitterionic ligands on quantum dot surfaces, are being paid significant attention in biomedical applications because of their excellent colloidal stability across a wide pH and ionic strength range, antifouling surface, good biocompatibility, etc. In
Protein and peptide letters, 21(11), 1163-1175 (2014-08-08)
Stable and mucoadhesive, lyophilised, thiolated chitosan xerogels, loaded with insulin for buccal mucosa deliv- ery, in place of the currently used parenteral route have been developed. The xerogels were backed with impervious ethyl- cellulose laminate to ensure unidirectional release and
Journal of biomaterials applications, 29(4), 557-565 (2014-06-11)
One of the main challenges for clinical implementation of small diameter vascular grafts (SDVGs) is their limited hemocompatibility. Important design specifications for such grafts include features that minimize the long-term risks of restenosis, fouling, and thrombus formation. In our lab
The effect of calcination temperature on the surface microstructure and photocatalytic activity of TiO2 thin films prepared by liquid phase deposition.
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 107(50), 13871-13879 (2003)
Mutation research. Genetic toxicology and environmental mutagenesis, 762, 1-8 (2014-02-06)
Stainless steel bands, with or without silver soldered joints, are routinely used in orthodontics. However, little is known about the toxic biological effects of these appliances. The aims of this study were to evaluate the cytotoxic, cytostatic, genotoxic and DNA
FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 29(4), 1383-1394 (2015-01-01)
The phosphoinositide-dependent signal transduction pathway has been implicated in the control of a variety of biologic processes, such as the regulation of cellular metabolism and homeostasis, cell proliferation and differentiation, and apoptosis. One of the key players in the regulation
Biochimica et biophysica acta, 1847(6-7), 587-598 (2015-04-07)
Mitochondria play a key role in adaptation during stressing situations. Cardiolipin, the main anionic phospholipid in mitochondrial membranes, is expected to be a determinant in this adaptive mechanism since it modulates the activity of most membrane proteins. Here, we used
Scientific reports, 5, 13685-13685 (2015-09-09)
To date, in situ visualization of microbial density has remained an open problem. Here, functionalized buckyballs (e.g., C60-pyrrolidine tris acid) are shown to be a versatile platform that allows internalization within a microorganism without either adhering to the cell wall
Journal of reproductive immunology, 112, 38-45 (2015-08-01)
The a2 isoform of vacuolar-ATPase (ATP6V0A2, referred to as a2V) is required for normal spermatogenesis and maturation of sperm. Treatment of male mice with anti-a2V disturbs the testicular cytokine/chemokine balance and leads to severe deficiencies of spermatogenesis. The aim of
Journal of Parkinson's disease, 5(2), 263-268 (2015-02-28)
Despite an urgent need for new medications, clinical trials in Parkinson's have a relatively low rate of success. Although many reasons have been proposed for this, the opinions of patients and scientists, the two principal stakeholders, have not been widely
Investigational new drugs, 32(3), 400-411 (2013-11-10)
CKD-516 is a benzophenone analog in which the B ring is modified by replacement with a carbonyl group. The study assessed CKD-516 as a vascular disrupting agent or anti-cancer drug. To assess the effect of S516 on vascularization, we analyzed
Journal of leukocyte biology, 96(2), 337-347 (2014-03-14)
a2V is required for maturation of sperm. The decreased expression of a2V at the feto-maternal interphase causes poor pregnancy outcome. The present study examined the role of a2V in spermatogenesis and inflammatory network in the testis. A single dose of
