Antimicrobial Effect of Eucalyptus Oil as a Root Canal Filling Material for Primary Teeth in Comparison with other Filling Materials against C. albicans and Streptococcus spp.

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2019
Microbial invasion is the most common cause of pulpal necrosis. Therefore, irrigation and obturation of primary teeth with antimicrobial materials is quite necessary to increase the success of endodontic treatment.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Low‐Cost, Large‐Scale Nanoporous Metals by Mechanical Alloying, Oxide Reduction, and Dealloying of Powders

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Powder metal processing provides scalable advantages in nanoporous (np) metal development. Mechanical alloying is used to produce unique precursors for hybrid nanopore formation by oxide reduction and dealloying. As demonstrated in np Ag, this approach improves process efficiency while promoting smaller ligaments and larger pores, both of which are ...

Zinc-fortification restores gut nitric oxide without expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase gene in enterotoxigenic E. coli-induced diarrhea in zinc-deficient rats

Scientific African, 2021
Nitric oxide maintains the integrity of the gastric epithelium and is also elevated in diarrheal disease condition. Nitric oxide synthase isoforms (NOS) are responsible for production of nitric oxide (NO) in physiological and pathophysiological ...
