A Comprehensive In Vitro Approach for Assessing the Physiological Degradation of Medical Implants: The Silkothane Arteriovenous Graft Case Study

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Evaluating the degradation of absorbable medical devices in vitro demands physiologically relevant conditions. This study presents a comprehensive framework applied to a three‐layered silk fibroin/polyurethane arteriovenous graft, employing human enzymes at physiological concentrations over 6 months. Multiparametric analyses of both graft structure and

Bacterial glycobiology: rhamnose-containing cell wall polysaccharides in Gram-positive bacteria. [PDF]

, 2016
The composition of the Gram-positive cell wall is typically described as containing peptidoglycan, proteins and essential secondary cell wall structures called teichoic acids, which comprise approximately half of the cell wall mass.

Th17 Cells Bounce off the Fungal Wall [PDF]

Cell Host & Microbe, 2009
Th17 cells are thought to play a pivotal role in defenses against Candida albicans. van de Veerdonk et al. (2009) investigate components of the fungal cell wall and their cognate receptors on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) responsible for IL-17 production and find a predominant role for mannan stimulation of the mannose receptor.

The Aspergillus fumigatus Mucin MsbA Regulates the Cell Wall Integrity Pathway and Controls Recognition of the Fungus by the Immune System

mSphere, 2019
Aspergillus fumigatus is a filamentous fungus which causes invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in immunocompromised individuals. In fungi, cell signaling and cell wall plasticity are crucial for maintaining physiologic processes. In this context, Msb2 is an

Aspergillus fumigatus Trehalose-Regulatory Subunit Homolog Moonlights To Mediate Cell Wall Homeostasis through Modulation of Chitin Synthase Activity

mBio, 2017
Trehalose biosynthesis is found in fungi but not humans. Proteins involved in trehalose biosynthesis are essential for fungal pathogen virulence in humans and plants through multiple mechanisms. Loss of canonical trehalose biosynthesis genes in the human

The isolation of useful bioproducts remaining from the large-scale fermentation of penicillium chrysogenum [PDF]

, 2008
Chitin, a homopolymer of ß-(1-4) linked N-acetyl D-glucosamine units, and its deacetylated derivative chitosan have unique properties that may allow their utilisation in a diverse array of high-value applications.

Molecular Signaling and Metabolic Responses during the Interaction between Human Keratinocytes (HaCaT) and the Dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum

Journal of Fungi
Trichophyton rubrum is the leading causative agent of dermatophytosis worldwide. Keratinocytes are the first line of defense that drives an immune response against fungal invasion.

Cell Wall Loosening in the Fungus, Phycomyces blakesleeanus

Plants, 2015
A considerable amount of research has been conducted to determine how cell walls are loosened to produce irreversible wall deformation and expansive growth in plant and algal cells. The same cannot be said about fungal cells.

Biocommunication of Fungal Organisms [PDF]

, 2008
The development and growth of fungal organisms depend on successful communication processes (a) within the organism and between organisms, (b) with the same or related species and (c) with non-related organisms.

Cell wall involvement in desiccation tolerance in the resurrection plant Craterostigma wilmsii [PDF]

, 2001
Bibliography: leaves 92-129.Resurrection plants have the unique capacity to revive from an air-dried state. In order to cope with desiccation, resurrection plants have to overcome a number of stresses, mechanical stress being one.
