Interaction of Potent Mitochondrial Uncouplers with Thiol-Containing Antioxidants

Antioxidants, 2019
It is generally considered that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the development of numerous pathologies. The level of ROS can be altered via the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation by using protonophores causing mitochondrial membrane ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Insights into membrane solubilization by styrene-maleic acid copolymers [PDF]

, 2018
Styrene-and-maleic acid copolymers (SMA) are gaining interest in membrane protein research due to their ability of solubilizing lipid membranes into nanodiscs.

Factors influencing the solubilization of membrane proteins from Escherichia coli membranes by styrene–maleic acid copolymers [PDF]

, 2020
Styrene–maleic acid (SMA) copolymers are a promising alternative to detergents for the solubilization of membrane proteins. Here we employ Escherichia coli membranes containing KcsA as a model protein to investigate the influence of different ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Flow-field mitigation of membrane fouling (FMMF) via manipulation of the convective flow in cross-flow membrane applications

, 2016
Membrane fouling by particulates is largely driven by permeate drag that causes the foulants to move towards the membrane. Cross-flow is used to induce shear at the membrane surface to mitigate the fouling.

Attempts to retreat from a dead-ended long capillary by backward swimming in Paramecium

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
We have observed how the ciliate Paramecium attempts to retreat from the dead-end of a long capillary that is too narrow for turning. After many trial-and-error episodes of short-term backward swimming (SBS), which is the conventional avoidance behavior ...

Potentiality of raloxifene loaded melittin functionalized lipidic nanovesicles against pancreatic cancer cells

Drug Delivery, 2022
Pancreatic cancer (PC) frequency and incidence have grown rapidly in recent years. One of the most serious problems with PC is the existence of asymptotic manifestations, which frequently delays early detection, and until the diagnosis is established ...

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Photothermal-enhanced and fouling-resistant membrane for solar-assisted membrane distillation

, 2018
Membrane distillation (MD) has been gaining increasing attention as a promising alternative to the more conventional separation processes like distillation and reverse osmosis (RO), due to the higher rejection, lower fouling propensity and ability to ...
