Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...

Comparative analyses of rodent and human brain in ageing and disease using novel NMDAR-2B selective probes [PDF]

, 2007
The NMDA subtype of excitatory ionotropic glutamate receptors is a hetero-oligomeric ligand-gated ion channel. Molecular cloning techniques have identified three types of NMDA receptor subunits, the NR 1, NR2A-D, and NR3A-B. NR2B-containing receptors are

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

Evolutionary trace analysis of ionotropic glutamate receptor sequences and modeling the interactions of agonists with different NMDA receptor subunits

, 2004
The ionotropic N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is of importance in neuronal development, functioning, and degeneration in the mammalian central nervous system.

Distinct combinations of variant ionotropic glutamate receptors mediate thermosensation and hygrosensation in Drosophila

eLife, 2016
Ionotropic Receptors (IRs) are a large subfamily of variant ionotropic glutamate receptors present across Protostomia. While these receptors are most extensively studied for their roles in chemosensory detection, recent work has implicated two family ...

Peripheral targets for neuropathic pain

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Neuropathic pain represents a significant clinical challenge, with still limited pharmacological approaches to symptomatic relief. This review focuses on molecular targets implicated in neuropathic pain, particularly those involved in peripheral mechanisms. Using the IUPHAR/BPS database of biological targets, their occurrence together with ‘neuropathic

Positive selection in extra cellular domains in the diversification of Strigamia maritima chemoreceptors

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
The recent publication of a centipede (Strigamia maritima) genome has revealed that most members of the chemosensory gene families of ionotropic (IR) and gustatory (GR) receptors do not have identifiable orthologs in insect species.
