Improving cytocompatibility of CdTe quantum dots by Schiff-base-coordinated lanthanides surface doping
(BioMed Central, 2018-04-19)
Background: Suitable fluorophores are the core of fluorescence imaging. Among the most exciting, yet controversial, labels are quantum dots (QDs) with their unique optical and chemical properties, but also considerable ...
Novel Vancomycin-Peptide Conjugate as Potent Antibacterial Agent against Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(Dove Press, 2018-11-01)
Background: Increase in vancomycin (Van)-resistant bacterial strains including vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) and lack of new effective antibiotics have become a formidable health problem.
Materials and ...
A Novel Insight into the Cardiotoxicity of Antineoplastic Drug Doxorubicin
(MDPI, 2013-11-01)
Doxorubicin is a commonly used antineoplastic agent in the treatment of many types of cancer. Little is known about the interactions of doxorubicin with cardiac biomolecules. Serious cardiotoxicity including dilated ...
MALDI MSI of MeLiM melanoma: Searching for differences in protein profiles
(PLOS, 2017-12-08)
Background
Treatment of advanced cutaneous melanoma remains challenging, and new data on melanoma biology are required. The most widely accepted criteria for the prognostic evaluation of melanoma are histopathological and ...
Perspective of Use of Antiviral Peptides against Influenza Virus
(MDPI, 2015-10-01)
The threat of a worldwide influenza pandemic has greatly increased over the past
decade with the emergence of highly virulent avian influenza strains. The increased frequency
of drug-resistant influenza strains against ...
Paramagnetic Nanoparticles as a Platform for FRET-Based Sarcosine Picomolar Detection
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-03-09)
Herein, we describe an ultrasensitive specific biosensing system for detection of sarcosine as a potential
biomarker of prostate carcinoma based on Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET). The FRET biosensor
employs ...
Sarcosine as a potential prostate cancer biomarker – A review
(MDPI, 2013-07-04)
Prostate cancer (CaP) is the most common type of tumour disease in men. Early diagnosis of cancer of the prostate is very important, because the sooner the cancer is detected, the better it is treated. According to that ...
Trk receptors and neurotrophins cross-interactions: New perspective to manipulating therapeutic side-effects
(Frontiers, 2017-05-03)
Some therapeutic side-effects result from simultaneous activation of homolog receptors by the same ligand. Tropomyosin receptor kinases (TrkA, TrkB and TrkC) play a major role in the development and biology of neurons ...
In Vitro Interactions between 17 beta-Estradiol and DNA Result in Formation of the Hormone-DNA Complexes
(MDPI, 2014-08-01)
Beyond the role of 17 beta-estradiol (E-2) in reproduction and during the menstrual cycle, it has been shown to modulate numerous physiological processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation and ion transport ...
Transcriptomic landscape of cisplatin-resistant neuroblastoma cells
(MDPI, 2019-03-31)
The efficiency of cisplatin (CDDP) is significantly hindered by the development of resistance during the treatment course. To gain a detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of cisplatin ...
