Carrageenans from Red Seaweeds As Promoters of Growth and Elicitors of Defense Response in Plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Plants incessantly encounter abiotic and biotic stresses that limit their growth and productivity. However, conversely, plant growth can also be induced by treatments with various abiotic and biotic elicitors.

Carrageenans, sulphated polysaccharides of red seaweeds, differentially affect Arabidopsis thaliana resistance to Trichoplusia ni (cabbage looper). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Carrageenans are a collective family of linear, sulphated galactans found in a number of commercially important species of marine red alga. These polysaccharides are known to elicit defense responses in plant and animals and possess anti-viral properties.

Normal force controlled rheology applied to agar gelation

open access: yes, 2016
A wide range of thermoreversible gels are prepared by cooling down to ambient temperature hot aqueous polymer solutions. During the sol-gel transition, such materials may experience a volume contraction which is traditionally overlooked as rheological ...

Lipid-hydrogel films for sustained drug release [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We report a hybrid system, fabricated from nanostructured lipid particles and polysaccharide based hydrogel, for sustained release applications. Lipid particles were prepared by kinetically stabilizing self-assembled lipid nanostructures whereas the ...

Epigenetic mechanisms and therapeutic innovations in chronic pain‐associated neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic pain, marked by nociceptive sensitization and maladaptive neuroplasticity, affects 30% of the global population with escalating socioeconomic burdens. Epidemiological data show a 2‐3‐fold increase in neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities among individuals with chronic pain, where epigenetic dysregulation serves as a key mechanism linking ...
