Tunable Regional Targeting of Self‐Assembling Peptide Nanomaterials in Acute Myocardial Infarction

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
In a rat model of acute myocardial infarction, intravascular delivery of peptide nanofibers with a collagen‐targeting peptide bound to the infarct vasculature while globular peptide nanoparticles penetrated into the infarct area. This study demonstrated that size, shape, and surface chemistry of nanomaterials control the delivery location within the ...

Pentavalent antimonial nephrotoxicity in the rat Disfunção tubular renal em ratos tratados com antimoniais pentavalentes

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 1990
Aspects of the renal function were assessed in rats treated with the pentavalent antimonials Glucantime (Meglumine Antimoniate, Rhodia) or Pentostam (Sodium Stibogluconate, Wellcome). In dose of 30 mg of Sb v (Glucantime or Pentostam) by 100 mg of weight

Tear Interferon-Gamma as a Biomarker for Evaporative Dry Eye Disease.

Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 2016
Purpose To assess whether tear hyperosmolarity, being diagnostic of dry eye disease (DED), is associated with specific alterations to the cytokine content of human tears that may provide a biomarker for DED. Methods In this prospective, cross-sectional,

Developmental morphology of claspers and clasper‐glands during maturation in Potamotrygon wallacei (Chondrichthyes: Potamotrygoninae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The claspers are the copulatory organs in male elasmobranchs, responsible for directing the semen into the female cloaca (C). However, the microscopic morphology of the claspers remains poorly understood. This study describes the morphology of the claspers and clasper glands (CGs) of cururu stingray (Potamotrygon wallacei) at different ...

Epilepsy‐associated SCN2A‐L1342P mutation drives network hyperexcitability and widespread transcriptomic changes in human cortical organoids

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective SCN2A pathogenic mutations, such as the recurrent heterozygous Nav1.2‐L1342P, are monogenic causes of epilepsy. In this human‐induced pluripotent stem cell–derived model system, we aim to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying SCN2A‐L1342P‐associated pathology. Methods Using a human male induced pluripotent stem

The potential effect of low cell osmolarity on cell function through decreased concentration of enzyme substrates [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2018
Some freshwater algae have lower (180 osmol m-3). Low osmolarities are related to the presence of flagella and the low energy cost of active water efflux following downhill water influx unconstrained by cell walls covering the plasmalemma, and the low resource cost of cell wall synthesis with the same mechanical degree of safety. One consequence of low

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Effects of Cholesterol Concentration and Osmolarity on the Fluidity and Membrane Tension of Free-standing Black Lipid Membranes

Analytical Sciences, 2018
Although the mechanical properties and compositions of lipid bilayer membranes can change upon deformation, the fundamental relations between the composition, membrane tension and fluidity of membranes with little curvature have not yet been studied. In the current study, the membrane tension and the diffusion coefficients of free-standing black lipid ...

Physical stability of RNA–lipid nanoparticles under agitation, freeze–thaw and accelerated stability testing

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The choice of excipient is important in enhancing stability of liquid formulations containing lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) used in RNA delivery where the ability to survive unplanned excursions to higher and lower temperature and vibration is an important attribute.
