The combined effect of the human umbilical cord blood with chitosan scaffold on the full-thickness wound healing process in rats [PDF]
Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2023 This studyaimed to investigate the role of a low dose of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (HUCB-MSCs) with chitosan scaffold (ChSc) on the progress of the cutaneous wound healing process in male Albino rats.

Detection of Sugar-Lectin Interactions by Multivalent Dendritic Sugar Functionalized Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes [PDF]
Appl. Phys. Lett. 101, 053701 (2012), 2012 We show that single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) decorated with sugar functionalized poly (propyl ether imine) (PETIM) dendrimer is a very sensitive platform to quantitatively detect carbohydrate recognizing proteins, namely, lectins. The changes in electrical conductivity of SWNT in field effect transistor device due to carbohydrate - protein ...

Functional Diversity of Novel Lectins with Unique Structural Features in Marine Animals
Cells, 2023 Due to their remarkable structural diversity, glycans play important roles as recognition molecules on cell surfaces of living organisms. Carbohydrates exist in numerous isomeric forms and can adopt diverse structures through various branching patterns ...

Competition, trait-mediated facilitation, and the structure of plant-pollinator communities [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology. Vol. 440, pp. 42-57 (2018), 2017 In plant-pollinator communities many pollinators are potential generalists and their preferences for certain plants can change quickly in response to changes in plant and pollinator densities. These changes in preferences affect coexistence within pollinator guilds as well as within plant guilds.

The areas of application for plant lectins [PDF]
Biopolymers and Cell, 2013 Lectins, in particular from plants, are proteins of non-immune origin that are able to bind carbohydrates with high specificity. Due to their properties, phytolectins are of great interest in practical applications. They were shown to play an important role in forming strategies for treatment of disease including cancer and HIV.

Messages From the Past: New Insights in Plant Lectin Evolution
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Lectins are a large and diverse class of proteins, found in all kingdoms of life. Plants are known to express different types of carbohydrate-binding proteins, each containing at least one particular lectin domain which enables them to specifically ...

Toxins, 2022 Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a group of proteins with rRNA N-glycosylase activity that catalyze the removal of a specific adenine located in the sarcin–ricin loop of the large ribosomal RNA, which leads to the irreversible inhibition of ...

Sensitive detection of ultra-weak adhesion states of vesicles by interferometric microscopy [PDF]
Soft Matter 6 (2010) 1948, 2010 We have used an original analysis of reflection interference contrast microscopy (RICM) to detect an ultra-weak specific interaction between a glycolipid vesicle and a lectin-coated substrate. The membrane height fluctuations in the contact zone are observed with a high illumination aperture; the membrane profile and the membrane-substrate distance ...

Involvement of Surfactant Protein D in Ebola Virus Infection Enhancement via Glycoprotein Interaction [PDF]
Viruses, MDPI, 2018, 11 (1), pp.15, 2019 Since the largest 2014-2016 Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa, understanding of Ebola virus infection has improved, notably the involvement of innate immune mediators. Amongst them, collectins are important players in the antiviral innate immune defense.
