Application of titanium nanoparticles containing natural compounds in cutaneous wound healing by Ahmeda, Ahmad

“…But, MIC and minimal bactericidal concentration of TiNPs@FV against all bacteria were at 2-8 mg/mL and 2-16 mg/mL ranges, respectively. In the part of cutaneous wound healing, use of TiNPs@FV ointment significantly (p ≤ 0.01) raised the wound contracture, vessel, hydroxyl proline, hexuronic acid, hexosamine, fibrocyte, and fibrocytes/fibroblast rate and significantly (p ≤ 0.01) decreased the wound area, total cells, neutrophil, and lymphocyte compared to other groups in rats. …”

In silico and in vivo models for Qatari-Specific classical homocystinuria as basis for development of novel therapies. by Ismail, Hesham M

“…Wildtype CBS, but not the p.R336C mutant, was able to restore the yeast growth in ΔCBS deficient yeast in a complementation assay. The p.R336C knock-in HEK293T and HepG2 cells decreased the level of CBS expression and reduce its structural stability; however, treatment of the p.R336C knock-in HEK293T cells with betaine, a chemical chaperone, restored the stability and tetrameric conformation of CBS, but not its activity. …”

Western and ketogenic diets in neurological disorders: can you tell the difference? by Habashy, Karl John

“…Here, we discuss the principles of brain metabolism with a focus on the distinct effects of the Western and ketogenic diets on the progression of neurological diseases such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and traumatic brain injury, highlighting the need to further explore the potential therapeutic effects of the ketogenic diet and the importance of standardizing dietary formulations to assure the reproducibility of clinical trials.…”

Impacts of rural tourism-driven land use change on ecosystems services provision in Erhai Lake Basin, China by Li, Jinghui

“…With these land changes, ecosystem services also changed greatly, to the detriment of ELB as a whole and especially the lakeside zone. By 2015, soil retention had decreased and nitrogen and soil export had increased, compared with the levels in 2000, while there was only a slight fluctuation in carbon storage and water yield. …”

Cry1Ac toxicity enhancement towards lepidopteran pest Ephestia kuehniella through its protection against excessive proteolysis by Elleuch, Jihen

“…However, the widespread use of B. thuringiensis δ-endotoxins has often been challenged by a lack of understanding of the target insect physiology as well as its midgut biochemistry.In the present investigation, we have evidenced and explained the toxicity improvement of Cry1Ac δ-endotoxins against Ephestia kuehniella larvae through in vivo combination with P20 helper protein. …”

Reduced vasorin enhances angiotensin II signaling within the aging arterial wall by Pintus, Gianfranco

“…Angiotensin II (Ang II) amplifies TGF-β1 activation in the VSMCs of the arterial wall with aging. In this study, we hypothesized that a reduced expression of the protein vasorin plays a contributory role in magnifying Ang II-associated fibrogenic signaling in the VSMCs of the arterial wall with aging. …”
