Evaluation of phagocytosis in human neutrophils using enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) expressing E. coli

Journal of Current Oncology and Medical Sciences, 2022
Introduction: Phagocytosis plays a very important role in innate immunity and helps the body against bacterial infections. Patients who have defect in phagocytosis suffer from recurrent bacterial infections that may be life threatening.

StALKBH10B‐Mediated RNA m6A Modification Inhibits Potato Salt Tolerance by Targeting Flavonoids and ABA Signalling Pathways

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent methylation modification present in mRNAs, which has been confirmed to participate in many developmental and biological processes. However, the biological function and specific regulatory mechanism of m6A modification in relation to salt tolerance of potato remain obscure.

Differential Stimulatory Activities of Smooth and Rough Brucella abortus Lipopolysaccharide in Murine Macrophages [PDF]

Pakistan Veterinary Journal, 2012
Brucella abortus lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was isolated and purified from rough (RB51) and smooth (S2308) strains of Brucella. The LPS preparations were used to treat murine (RAW 264.7) macrophages in order to study their differential effects.

Evolutionary Conserved and Divergent Responses to Copper Zinc Superoxide Dismutase Inhibition in Plants

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT After an initial evolution in a reducing environment, life got successively challenged by reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially during the great oxidation event (GOE) that followed the development of photosynthesis. Therefore, ROS are deeply intertwined into the physiological, morphological and transcriptional responses of most present‐day

Tolerance to Phosphorus Deficiency Improves Seed Phytic Acid‐to‐Iron Molar Ratios in Common Bean

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although significant advances have been achieved in the biofortification of common beans to overcome deficiencies in Zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), the mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. We thus explored the relationships between phosphorus nutrition and Zn and Fe accumulation in four bean genotypes (Edar, Nizok, Colorado and Chimbolos ...

The antioxidant action of Polypodium leucotomos extract and kojic acid: reactions with reactive oxygen species

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
Two natural products Polypodium leucotomos extract (PL) and kojic acid (KA) were tested for their ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (·OH, ·O2-, H2O2, ¹O2) in phosphate buffer.

Mitochondrial capacities and quality control following short‐ and long‐term weight restoration after simulated anorexia nervosa

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by prolonged caloric restriction and skeletal muscle atrophy. Mitochondrial health is a key mediator of muscle function, yet the role of mitochondria during AN and following weight regain has not been investigated. The objective of this study was to evaluate mitochondrial capacities
