Charaterization of Leishmania major Friedlin Telomeric Terminus [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002
Here we have characterized Leishmania major (Friedlin) telomeric terminus (the very end) using recombinants obtained by a vector-adaptor cloning protocol. As in L. donovani, the last nine nucleotides of L. major terminus are 5'-GGTTAGGGT-OH 3', differing from Trypanosoma cruzi and T.

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Development and Characterization of Liposomes Containing a Zn(II) Porphyrin Derivative for the Application of Photodynamic Therapy in the Treatment of Breast Cancer

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study aims to synthesize and characterize lipid nanosystems (liposomes) for the incorporation of a Zn(II) porphyrin derivative, Zn(II) meso‐tetrakis(N‐n‐hexylpyridinium‐2‐yl)porphyrin (ZnTnHex‐2‐PyP4+, ZnPH), intending to employ an alternative method of treatment, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), for breast cancer (BC ...
