Purification and characterization of mammalian integrins expressed by a rat neuronal cell line (PC12): evidence that they function as alpha/beta heterodimeric receptors for laminin and type IV collagen. [PDF]
Cells of the rat neuronal line, PC12, adhere well to substrates coated with laminin and type IV collagen, but attach poorly to fibronectin. Adhesion and neurite extension in response to these extracellular matrix proteins are inhibited by Fab fragments ...

Presence of a Spatially Varying Electric Field at Lipid-Water Interface with Na/K ratio in Water [PDF]
The ion-lipid interface in Langmuir monolayers of Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) on pure water and 10 mM solutions of Na+ and K+ at different [K+]/[Na+] (a), atom/atom ratios, were studied initially by Surface Pressure (p) versus Specific Molecular Area (A) isotherms.

Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities
ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

Foam cell formation containing lipid droplets enriched with free cholesterol by hyperlipidemic serum
A monoclonal antibody, ASH1a/256C (256C), which binds to atherosclerotic lesions in Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbit (WHHL) aorta in vivo, recognizes complex structures of phosphatidylcholine mixed with neutral lipids.

New Pyridobenothiazolone Derivatives Display Nanomolar Pan‐Serotype Anti‐Dengue Virus Activity
A ligand‐based strategy is employed, starting from hit compound 2, to develop the C‐2 modified pyridobenzothiazolone 19 as a pan‐serotype nanomolar DENV‐1‐4 inhibitor. Investigations of the mechanism reveal the peculiar ability to abolish the infectivity of virions in a second infection.

Automatic titrator enables the regioselective ring opening of (R)‐glycidol in water in the presence of phosphorylcholine, leading to the synthesis of L‐α‐glycerophosphorylcholine, a commercially available drug, in very high yield. The reaction is triggered by a minimum amount of NaOH and reactants, while the optimal pH is precisely regulated through ...
