Encapsulin nanocompartments (ENCs), or simply encapsulins, are a novel type of protein nanocage found in bacteria and archaea. The complete encapsulin systems include cargoes involved specific metabolic tasks. Cargoes selectively encapsulated due to the presence cargo-loading peptide (CLP). However, heterologous proteins fused CLP have also been successfully encapsulated, making encapsulins very promising system for protein-carrying delivery. Nevertheless, precise cell tissue delivery,...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate effect hypophysectomy on cell proliferation in left ovary and testis 8– 14–day–old chick embryos. Hypophysectomy performed by partial decapitation technique. At 44–46 h incubation, embryo heads were sectioned at mesencephalic level prosencephalic region removed. Embryos further incubated until 8–14 days development. Cell division evaluated bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation counting total number somatic germ cells gonads. displayed an...

Virus-like nanoparticles (VLNPs) are an excellent alternative for the polyvalent display of peptides and proteins with a broad spectrum enzymatic other activities, which allow targeted delivery bioactive molecules. Precise targeting is limiting step in application selective therapies that otherwise can produce adverse side effects on off-target sites. In this research, we took advantage ability structural domain VP2 parvovirus B19 to coassemble chimeric forms itself VLNPs. Two chimeras VP2,...
