Effect of hypertonic-hyperoncotic solution infusion on tissue perfusion during surgical treatment of the abdominal aorta [PDF]
Background/Aim. Decreasing of arterial flow below the critical level leads to capillary endothelium edema and to further worsening of tissue perfusion.

Actin assembly ruptures the nuclear envelope by prying the lamina away from nuclear pores and nuclear membranes in starfish oocytes. [PDF]
The nucleus of oocytes (germinal vesicle) is unusually large and its nuclear envelope (NE) is densely packed with nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) stockpiled for embryonic development. We showed that breakdown of this specialized NE is mediated by an Arp2/3-

Characterization of ultrafiltration membranes by tracer's retention:Comparison of methods sensitivity and reproducibility [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that the absolute membrane cut-off and the value quoted by the manufacturers may be very different because of differences in methodologies and testing conditions.

Cytosolic delivery of nanolabels prevents their asymmetric inheritance and enables extended quantitative in vivo cell imaging [PDF]
Long-term in vivo imaging of cells is crucial for the understanding of cellular fate in biological processes in cancer research, immunology, or in cell-based therapies such as beta cell transplantation, in type I diabetes or stem cell therapy ...

Dextran fouling of polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranesâCauses, extent and consequences [PDF]
In a recent paper [Susanto, Ulbricht, J. Membr. Sci. 266 (2005) 132], we showed that dextran does foul polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes by contact of the solution with the membrane surface without flux through the membrane.

The preparation and characterization of alumina membranes with ultra-fine pores : Part 4. Ultrafiltration and hyperfiltration experiments [PDF]
The rejection characteristics of three types of alumina membranes for polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymers and dextrans soluted in water have been investigated. If the temperature at which the membranes are treated is increased, the pore size increases and

Differential effects on membrane permeability and viability of human keratinocyte cells undergoing very low intensity megasonic fields [PDF]
Among different therapeutic applications of Ultrasound (US), transient membrane sonoporation (SP) - a temporary, non-lethal porosity, mechanically induced in cell membranes through US exposure - represents a compelling opportunity towards an efficient ...

Dextran dextrinase and dextran of Gluconobacter oxydans
Certain strains of Gluconobacter oxydans have been known since the 1940s to produce the enzyme dextran dextrinase (DDase; EC2.4.1.2)-a transglucosidase converting maltodextrins into (oligo)dextran. The enzyme catalyses the transfer of an alpha1,4 linked glucosyl unit from a donor to an acceptor molecule, forming an alpha1,6 linkage: consecutive ...
