Abstract N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant, anti-adhesive, and antimicrobial compound. Even though there much information regarding the role of NAC as antioxidant anti-adhesive agent, little known about its activity. In order to assess mode action in bacterial cells, we investigated metabolic responses triggered by at neutral pH. As a model organism, chose Gram-negative plant pathogen Xa...

Regulation by the extracellular matrix (ECM) of migration, motility, and adhesion of olfactory neurons and their precursors was studied in vitro. Neuronal cells of the embryonic olfactory epithelium (OE), which undergo extensive migration in the central nervous system during normal development, were shown to be highly migratory in culture as well. Migration of OE neuronal cells was strongly dep...

Enhancing the hydrophilicity of polymeric materials is an important step for achieving anti-adhesiveness. Thus, in this study, atmospheric plasma as a pre-treatment was combined with UV grafting process to obtain durable surface modification on polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The most promising conditions were found be 15 kW power and 4 m/min speed, leading contact angle reduction from 70 ± 6...

abstract statement of problem: there is no enough published data about the shear bond strength of resin modified glass ionomer adhesives on caries-affected primary tooth dentin excavated using minimally invasive systems. objectives: to evaluate the shear bond strength of 2 different adhesives (one resin modified glass ionomer and one resin) using two caries removal techniques on healthy and car...

Nearly a century has passed since the discovery of first antibiotics. With each passing decade, more bacterial strains developed resistance towards existing Alternative methods to reduce contamination by bacteria and biofilms have arisen pressure on or currently This review highlights promising approaches prevent surface. Special attention is paid antibiotic-free antibacterial strategies that a...
