Objective Decellularized uterine scaffold, as a new achievement in tissue engineering, enables recellularization and regeneration of uterine tissues and supports pregnancy in a fashion comparable to the intact uterus. The acellular methods are methods preferred in many respects due to their similarity to normal tissue, so it is necessary to try to ...

Actinomyces oris plays an important role in oral biofilm development. Like many gram-positive bacteria, A. oris produces a sizable number of surface proteins that are anchored to bacterial peptidoglycan by a conserved transpeptidase named the housekeeping sortase SrtA; however, the biological role of many A. oris surface proteins in biofilm formati...

Objectives: Toothpastes and mouthwashes contain ingredients that may be toxic for oral mucosal tissues. This study aimed to assess the cytotoxicity of the ingredients of commonly used toothpastes and mouthwashes. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was performed on 16 toothpastes and four mouthwashes widely available in the Iranian marke...

Sensory rhodopsin II (pSRII), a retinal-binding photophobic receptor from Natronomonas pharaonis, is a novel model system for membrane protein folding studies. Recently, the SDS-denatured states and the kinetics for reversible unfolding of pSRII have been investigated, opening the door to the first detailed characterisation of denatured states of a...

The aggregation of alpha-synuclein (α-syn) is a pathological feature of a number of neurodegenerative conditions, including Parkinson's disease. Genetic mutations, abnormal protein synthesis, environmental stress, and aging have all been implicated as causative factors in this process. The importance of water in the polymerisation of monomers, howe...

From whole tissues to single-cell lysate, heterogeneous immunoassays are widely utilized for analysis of protein targets in complex biospecimens. Recently, benzophenone-functionalized hydrogel scaffolds have been used to immobilize target protein for immunoassay detection with fluorescent antibody probes. In benzophenone-functionalized hydrogels, m...

The interaction of surfactants and hydrophobic polymers in solution has attracted substantial interest due to the broad application in industry. In this study, the interactions of the nonionic surfactant polyethylene glycol-p-(1,1,3,3 tetramethylbutyl)-phenyl ether (Triton X) and anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) with a cationic polym...

Polymorphs of MnO2 are known to have different electrochemical activity, with gamma (γ) and akhtenskite (ε) polymorphs often considered as the most active phases for aqueous battery cathodes. However, most synthetic samples contain a mixture of polymorph phases, which makes understanding of the structure-property correlations more complicated. In t...
