Yeast Particles for Encapsulation of Terpenes and Essential Oils [PDF]
Terpenes and essential oils are materials of great commercial use due to their broad spectra of antibacterial, antifungal, membrane permeation enhancement and antioxidant biological properties, as well as for their use as flavors and fragrances.

Anthelmintic Activity of Yeast Particle-Encapsulated Terpenes [PDF]
Soil-transmitted nematodes (STN) infect 1–2 billion of the poorest people worldwide. Only benzimidazoles are currently used in mass drug administration, with many instances of reduced activity. Terpenes are a class of compounds with anthelmintic activity.

Yeast-Based Vaccine Platforms: Applications and Key Insights from the COVID-19 Era [PDF]
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated vaccine innovation but also exposed weaknesses in global access and manufacturing. Yeast-based platforms, particularly Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia pastoris, also known as Komagataella phaffii, offer a practical ...

Detection of DOPA-melanin in the dimorphic fungal pathogen Penicillium marneffei and its effect on macrophage phagocytosis in vitro. [PDF]
The fungal pathogen Penicillium marneffei produces melanin-like pigment in vitro. The synthetic pathway of melanin and its possible influence in the protective yeast cells surviving within macrophage cells are not known. In this work, P.

Rescue of Infectious Sindbis Virus by Yeast Spheroplast-Mammalian Cell Fusion
Sindbis virus (SINV), a positive-sense single stranded RNA virus that causes mild symptoms in humans, is transmitted by mosquito bites. SINV reverse genetics have many implications, not only in understanding alphavirus transmission, replication cycle ...

Alveolar macrophage response to yeasts and inert particles [PDF]
Interactions between alveolar macrophages (AM) from rats and a yeast with relatively high pathogenicity (Candida albicans), a yeast with low pathogenicity (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and an inert control particle (amorphous silica) of similar diameters, 3-4 microns, were studied.

Localization of ASH1 mRNA Particles in Living Yeast [PDF]
ASH1 mRNA localizes to the bud tip in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to establish asymmetry of HO expression, important for mating type switching. To visualize real time localization of the mRNA in living yeast cells, green fluorescent protein (GFP) was fused to the RNA-binding protein MS2 to follow a reporter mRNA containing MS2-binding sites. Formation and

Yeast and Virus-like Particles: A Perfect or Imperfect Couple?
Virus-like particles (VLPs) comprise viral structural proteins that self-assemble to form a particle similar to the native virus capsid. Since their discovery, they have been employed mainly as vaccines to prevent viral infection because they can elicit ...
