Nitrogen, Iron, and Zinc Acquisition: Key Nutrients to Aspergillus fumigatus Virulence
(MDPI, 2021-06-28)
Aspergillus fumigatus is a ubiquitous soil decomposer and an opportunistic pathogen that is characterized by its large metabolic machinery for acquiring nutrients from media. Lately, an ever-increasing number of genes ...
Flexible multiplex PCR to detect SARS-CoV-2, coronavirus OC43 and influenza A virus in nasopharyngeal swab samples
(Wiley, 2022-12)
Introduction Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) is the leading tool to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Given that it will almost certainly continue to coexist with other ...
Candida albicans Increases Tumor Cell Adhesion to Endothelial Cells In Vitro: Intraspecific Differences and Importance of the Mannose Receptor
(PloS ONE, 2013-01-02)
The dimorphic fungus Candida albicans is able to trigger a cytokine-mediated pro-inflammatory response that increases tumor cell adhesion to hepatic endothelium and metastasis. To check the intraspecific differences in ...
Intracellular transformation and disposal mechanisms of magnetosomes in macrophages and cancer cells
(Wiley, 2023-10)
Magnetosomes are magnetite nanoparticles biosynthesized by magnetotactic bacteria. They have been proposed for several biomedical applications mostly focused on the treatment and diagnosis of cancer. In this work we follow ...
Temporal and spatial resolution of magnetosome degradation at the subcellular level in a 3D lung carcinoma model
(BMC, 2024-09)
Magnetic nanoparticles offer many exciting possibilities in biomedicine, from cell imaging to cancer treatment. One of the currently researched nanoparticles are magnetosomes, magnetite nanoparticles of high chemical purity ...
