Breast milk, often referred to as "liquid gold," is a complex biofluid that provides essential nutrients, immune factors, and developmental cues for newborns. Recent advancements in the field of exosome research have shed light on critical role exosomes breast milk. Exosomes are nanosized vesicles carry bioactive molecules, including proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, miRNAs. These tiny messengers play vital intercellular communication now being recognized key players infant health...
Background Pathogenesis of aortic valve calcificationis a multifunctional processassociated with various risk factors, while heart replacement is the only established treatment. Unfortunately, real mechanism calcification remains still unknown. Herewith, we investigate changes in molecular levelof tissues order to characterize mineral deposits and understand mineralization stenosis.
Results The changes of FT-IR spectraat 1743 cmresulted from hyperoxidation lipids due to oxidative stress. characteristic bands at the spectral regions 1200-900 cm and 700-400 cmshowed formation low crystallinity biological hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) calcium monophosphate (CaHPO4) salts. results were confirmed using SEM-EDAX XRD analysis. observed cross-linking bonds between collagen elastin principal sites for deposition progression. findings hypothesis that is formed predominantly...
The mechanism of amyloid-like protein formation on aortic valve calcification and stenosis during oxidative stress was evaluated by using Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy scanning electron microscopy X-Ray diffraction. high intensity bands spectra arising from the vibration modes vCH 3 2 membranes’ lipids are related with increasing lipophilic environment due to formation. shifts lower frequencies Amide I/Amide II absorptions associated transformation...
Ochratoxins are a group of mycotoxins produced as secondary metabolites by several fungi Aspergillus and Penicillium species. Ochratoxin A (OTA) is the most toxic member can be found in large variety widely consumed foods, such coffee, cocoa, wine, flour. Reliable determination OTA levels food samples therefore indispensable to ensure compliance with MRLs set national/European regulations minimize health risks for consumers. In current study, label-free biosensor based on white light...
Background: The Industry 4.0 wave is leading the changes in existing manufacturing and industrial processes across world. This especially important formulation of smart-factory concept with an outlook to energy sustainable processes. In viewing identifying foundational elements such a transformation, initial conditions current practices cross-sectoral manner considered first, yet crucial step EU-funded project EnerMan. Methods: this paper, we identify analyse key common features...
Purpose: Pathogenesis of aortic valve stenosis is suggesting as a multifunctional process and associated with age other risk factors, but the real mechanism calcification remains still unknown. Herewith, we investigate changes in infrared spectra tissues order to characterize mineral deposition understand mineralization stenosis. Methods: 10 samples calcified valves patients, who underwent surgical replacement due degenerative A Nicolet 6700 thermoscientific spectrometer was used record IR...
