To study cellular damage induced by Cinnamomum verum essential oil in Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213. The effect of cinnamon bark essential oil on these two strains was evaluated by plate counts, potassium leakage, flow cytometry
Immunosuppression by the fungal metabolite cyclosporin A (CsA) is characterized by functional inhibition, rather than destruction of cells. Because activation of immune cells involves intracellular signalling events associated with modulations of cell transmembrane potential (TMP), we tested the ability of
Non-covalent interactions between polymethine dyes of various types (cationic and anionic thiacarbocyanines as well as anionic oxonols and tetracyanopolymethines) and human serum albumin (HSA) were studied by means of absorption, fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies. Complexation with the protein
Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was employed to visualize and measure membrane potential changes in several types of cultured adherent cells, such as human fibroblasts, mouse mammary tumor C127 cells, and human saphenous vein endothelial cells, preloaded with the anionic

The membrane potential of endothelial cells is an important determinant of endothelial functions, including regulation of vascular tone. We investigated whether adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels were involved in the response of membrane potential to hyperosmolality in cultured human aorta
