Disturbances in primary dental enamel in Polish autistic children
; Żądzińska, Elżbieta; ; ; (Nature, 2020)
Dental enamel is a structure that is formed as a result of the regular functioning of ameloblasts. The knowledge of the patterns of enamel secretion allows an analysis of their disruptions manifested in pronounced additional ... -
First records of the Palaestes abruptus Sharp, 1899 and P. nicaraguae Sharp, 1899 (Coleoptera: Cucujidae) from South America, with a checklist of flat bark beetles from the continent
Michalski, Marek; ; (Pensoft Publishers, 2021)
Background: The flat bark beetles (Coleoptera: Cucujidae) is a small insect family with only about 70 species. Most of the species are distributed in Holarctic, Oriental and/or Australasian realms, while in South ... -
The Relationship between the Antioxidant System and Proline Metabolism in the Leaves of Cucumber Plants Acclimated to Salt Stress
(MDPI, 2021)The study examines the effect of acclimation on the antioxidant system and proline metabolism in cucumber leaves subjected to 100 and 150 NaCl stress. The levels of protein carbonyl group, thiobarbituric acid reactive ... -
Molecular Aspects of Senescence and Organismal Ageing—DNA Damage Response, Telomeres, Inflammation and Chromatin
(MDPI, 2020)Cells can become senescent in response to stress. Senescence is a process characterised by a stable proliferative arrest. Sometimes it can be beneficial—for example, it can suppress tumour development or take part in tissue ... -
The Methods of Digging for “Gold” within the Salt: Characterization of Halophilic Prokaryotes and Identification of Their Valuable Biological Products Using Sequencing and Genome Mining Tools
; ; Strapagiel, Dominik; ; (MDPI, 2021)
Halophiles, the salt-loving organisms, have been investigated for at least a hundred years. They are found in all three domains of life, namely Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya, and occur in saline and hypersaline environments ... -
Diversity of the Chemical Profile and Biological Activity of Capsicum annuum L. Extracts in Relation to Their Lipophilicity
(MDPI, 2021)Ethanol extracts of two types of pepper (sweet and hot) were separated into fractions with increasing lipophilicity. After drying the extracts and fractions, their chemical composition, anti-radical activity in the DPPH ... -
Phosphorus Dendrimers as Carriers of siRNA—Characterisation of Dendriplexes
; ; Klajnert-Maculewicz, Barbara; ; ; (MDPI, 2013)
There are many types of dendrimers used as nanomolecules for gene delivery but there is still an ongoing search for ones that are able to effectively deliver drugs to cells. The possibility of gene silencing using siRNA ... -
Exogenous quercetin as a proliferation stimulator in tobacco BY-2 cells
Kobylińska, Agnieszka (University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, 2017)
Quercetin (Q) is a prominent flavonoid with a remarkable spectrum of biochemical activities. Its impact on human health as well as its endogenous role in the development of plants have been studied extensively. However, ... -
