Despite of considerable progress in the research at the interface of Chemistry, Biology and Medicine, neurodegenerative diseases affect more and more seriously our ageing population and remain a real therapeutic challenge for researcher. Nevertheless, adva ...
Two new modified hexacyclopeptides, aerucyclamides A and B, were isolated from the toxic freshwater cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7806. The constitution was assigned by spectroscopic methods, and the configuration determined by chemical degrada ...
Cutaneous melanomas are tumors originating from skin melanocytes which are present in hair follicles, and interfollicular epidermal and dermal layers. Experimental work in model systems involves in silico, in vitro and in vivo analyses. Such models allow t ...
The chemical synthesis, conformational analysis and receptor binding studies of novel constrained cyclosporin A (CsA) analogues are described. The selective insertion of pseudo-proline (PsiPro) systems featuring different 2-C-substituents at the oxazolidin ...
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been shown to increase the survival and functioning of dopamine neurons in a variety of animal models and some recent human trials. However, delivery of any protein to the brain remains a challenge due ...
Since most of the metal-hyperaccumulating wild plants only produce very low biomass and many high-yielding crops accumulate only moderate amounts of metals, the current research is mainly focused on overcoming these limitations and the optimization of meta ...
Fluorescent protein expressing cells with very high fluorescence are described as well as a method to obtain such cells. The fluorescence of such cells can be as high as about 1000 times the auto-fluorescence of the respective host cell. Due to the high fl ...
This study is aimed at outlining the fabrication of a novel piezoresistive force sensor using LTCC technology, which operates at millinewton range, yet is compatible with low cost thick-film fabrication process. Mechanical and electrical characterization o ...
Existing evidence indicates that 21-days exposure of rats to restraint stress induces dendritic atrophy in pyramidal cells of the hippocampus. This phenomenon has been related to altered performance in hippocampal-dependent learning tasks. Prior studies ha ...
Studying proteins in living cells generally requires the construction of a fusion protein between the protein of interest and an appropriate tag. Currently used fusion protein-based assays rely on the genetically encoded properties of the tag, which signif ...
