TPA-induced inhibition of gap junctional intercellular communication is not mediated through free radicals.: This research explores the role of N,N′-Diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPPD) in cellular communication, providing insights into its applications in high-performance rubber stabilizers and life science manufacturing chemicals. (Hasler et al., 1990).
Although the tuberculin test has aided in the diagnosis of tuberculosis for more than 85 years, its interpretation is difficult particularly because sensitization with non-tuberculous mycobacteria leads to false positive tests. Using the guinea pig model of tuberculosis, we have

The primary reactions leading to Al toxicity in plant cells have not yet been elucidated. We used soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) cell suspension cultures to address the question whether lipid peroxidation plays an important role in Al toxicity. Upon

It has been known for almost a century that normal human serum can lyse the extracellular blood parasite Trypanosoma brucei brucei. This process is a result of a non-immune killing factor in human sera known as trypanosome lytic factor (TLF).
Salicylic acid is a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). But it is known to cause serious liver damage occasionally. Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are predicted to be the major factors of salicylic acid-induced liver injury. We investigated the

Coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to study the insertion of cyclic peptide nanotubes into cell membranes and to examine whether cyclic peptide nanotubes can function as an ion channel and thereby as an antibacterial agent. To do
Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
