Quercetin protects against Aspergillus fumigatus keratitis by reducing fungal load and inhibiting TLR-4 induced inflammatory response
CONCLUSION: Quercetin plays a protective role in mouse A. fumigatus keratitis by inhibiting fungal load, disrupting hyphae structure, macrophage infiltration, and suppressing inflammation response in macrophages via TLR-4 mediated signaling pathway.PMID:37677994 | DOI:10.1016/j.cyto.2023.156356

Positron Emission Tomography Studies of the Biodistribution, Translocation, and Fate of Poly Allyl Amine ‐Based Carriers for Sirna Delivery by Systemic and Intratumoral Administration.
Positron emission tomography is used to study the fate of polyplexes formed by siRNA and modified polyamines. Polyplexes are prepared with either radiolabeled siRNA or radiolabeled polyamines. By comparing biodistribution patterns of labeled siRNA and labeled polyamines conclusions are driven on the stability of the polyplexes in vivo. AbstractPolyamine-based vectors offer many advantages for gene therapy, but they are hampered by a limited knowledge on their biological fate and efficacy for nucleic acid delivery. The18F radiolabeled siRNA is complexed with poly(allyl amine) hydrochloride (PAH), PEGylated PAH (PAHPEG), or ...

The Role of Decorin in the Adhesion Process of Treponema Pallidum Subspecies Pallidum to Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells
CONCLUSIONS: Decorin enhances the adhesion of T. pallidum to human brain microvascular endothelial cells, suggesting that decorin may act as one of the receptors regulating the adhesion of T. pallidum to cells. Furthermore, T. pallidum treatment triggers the rearrangement of F-actin in cells, and decorin plays a protective role in this process.PMID:37471666

Eco-friendly deacetylated chitosan base siRNA biological-nanopesticide loading cyromazine for efficiently controlling Spodoptera frugiperda
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Apr 24:124575. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124575. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSpodoptera frugiperda is a serious threat to various crops, such as corn and rice, and results in severe economic losses. Herein, a chitin synthase sfCHS highly expressed in the epidermis of S. frugiperda was screened, and when interfered by an sfCHS-siRNA nanocomplex, most individuals could not ecdysis (mortality rate 53.3 %) or pupate (abnormal pupation 80.6 %). Based on the results of structure-based virtual screening, cyromazine (CYR, binding free energy -57.285 kcal/mol) could inhibit ecdysis (LC50, 19.599 μg/g...
