Pharmacologic MRI Brain Imaging Studies of Serotonin 5‐HT1 Receptor Agonists in Awake Mice
ABSTRACT Serotonin (5‐hydroxytryptamine, 5‐HT) type‐1 G protein‐coupled receptors are expressed throughout the central nervous system. 5‐HT1AR activation is the putative mechanism of approved drugs for generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder and is being studied in the treatment of autism and neurological disorders.

Involvement of fimbriae in host-mycoparasite recognition
Extracellular, non-flagellar appendages, termed fimbriae are widespread among fungi. Fungal fimbriae range in diameter from 6-10 nm and exhibit lengths of up to 30 ~m.

A study of the invasion and the cellular response of an in vitro 3D oral mucosal model by Porphyromonas gingivalis [PDF]
Periodontitis is a leading cause of tooth loss worldwide. The Gram-negative anaerobe, Porphyromonas gingivalis, has been implicated in the initiation and cyclical progression of this inflammatory disease, which may be associated with its ability to ...

[Rapid purification of Bordetella pertussis fimbria 2, 3 proteins and their immunogenicities].
Bordetella pertussis fimbria antigens play an important role in the adhesion to the cell surfaces, and induce the formation of protective antibodies in the host. The aim of this study was to purify the fimbria proteins by a rapid and easy method which involved Superdex 75 gel filtration chromatography, and to investigate their immunogenicity.

Purification and characterization of type 1 fimbriae of Salmonella typhi
Type 1 fimbriae have been purified from a Salmonella typhi strain of clinical origin. Purified fimbriae retained their ability to bind to erythrocytes in a mannose-inhibitable fashion and, in doing so, behaved preferentially as a monovalent adhesin.
