Plasma polymers (PPs) can easily modify material surfaces to improve their bio-applicability due match-made surface-free energy and functionality. However, cell adhesion PPs typically composed of various functional groups has not yet been fully understood. We explain the origin strong resistance trypsin treatment previously noted for nonendothelial cells on amine PPs. It is caused mainly by non...

Fungal infections with increasing resistance to conventional therapies are a growing concern. Candida albicans is major opportunistic yeast responsible for mucosal and invasive infections. Targeting the initial step of infection process (i.e., C. adhesion host cell) promising strategy. A wide variety molecules can interfere processes via an assortment mechanisms. Herein, we focus on how small d...

Most common hypotheses of seizure initiation are increased neural excitation, decreased inhibition or both. But, the conditions that lead to these activation states not to be clear yet. Recent studies challenge traditional concepts and indicate new evidence that a key epileptogenic process may actually begin in the blood vessel. Seizures could be initiate by a variety of insults to the brain, s...

Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are highly glycosylated proteins (glycoproteins) found in the cell walls of plants. AGPs account for only a small portion wall, usually no more than 1% dry mass primary wall. members hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein (HRGP) superfamily that represent large and diverse group wall proteins. have attracted considerable attention due to their complex structures potent...
