Neutrophil extracellular traps are networks of DNA and associated proteins produced by nucleosome release from activated neutrophils in response to infection stimuli have recently been identified as key mediators between innate immunity, inflammation, hemostasis. The interaction histones with a number hemostatic factors has shown promote clotting is increased thrombosis, but little known about the effects on regulation fibrin stability fibrinolysis. Here we demonstrate that addition...
Size characterization of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and drug delivery liposomes is great importance in their applications diagnosis therapy diseases. There are many different size techniques used the field, which often report values. Besides technological biases, these differences originate from fact that various methods measure physical quantities to determine particle size. In this study, synthetic with nominal diameters 50nm 100nm, red blood cell-derived EVs (REVs) were measured...
The need to develop new methods for the high-sensitivity diagnosis of malaria has initiated a global activity in medical and interdisciplinary sciences. Most diverse variety emerging techniques are based on research-grade instruments, sophisticated reagent-based assays or rely expertise. Here, we suggest an alternative optical methodology with easy-to-use cost-effective instrumentation unique properties pigment reported previously determined quantitatively present study. Malaria pigment,...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released during the storage of red blood cell (RBC) concentrates and might play adverse or beneficial roles throughout utilization products (transfusion). Knowledge EV release associated factors mechanism amends product management. In present work impact time medium (blood preserving additive vs isotonic phosphate buffer) on composition, size, concentration EVs was studied using attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy, microfluidic...
Biodegradable, biocompatible nanoparticles with tuneable fluorescence - due to their great potential in biology, medicine and sensor development are widely studied nowadays. Recently it was shown that the complex red emitting spectroscopic feature of Bovine Serum Albumin gold (BSAAu) bioconjugates can be related versatility conformational changes BSA protein. In our study, we performed a comprehensive study on structural host molecules by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) small-angle X-ray...
The effect of the precursor on morphology, structure, and adsorption properties activated carbon in case poly(ethylene terephthalate) cellulose, was studied. Scanning tunnel microscopy, X-ray scattering methods, from gas liquid phases were applied to answer problem. According data, micropore structure chemical character two samples found be practically independent their origin, but essential structural dissimilarities concluded SAXS data. STM illustrated precursor's only dimensions which are...
The details of a newly constructed small-angle X-ray scattering instrument are presented. geometry the is highly customizable, enabling it to address vastly different experimental situations from academic research industrial problems. high degree motorization and automation compared conventional laboratory-scale SAXS instruments facilitates alignment daily use. Data reduction routines incorporated in control software, yielding fully corrected calibrated results promptly after end...
The voltage dependence of the effective birefringence with corresponding textures for a 1:1 mixture bent-core and rod-shaped molecules measured in 5 µm film planar alignment coating is (see figure). data are fitted assuming rotation second director around main as illustrated lower part. Rectangles indicate tilt-plane rod-shape molecules. Supporting information this article available on WWW under http://www.wiley-vch.de/contents/jc_2089/2008/adma200800067_s.pdf or from author.

In the last 20 years, it has been demonstrated that oppositely charged polyelectrolyte-surfactant (PE-S) mixtures are prone to forming kinetically arrested non-equilibrium aggregates, which present in prepared from rather low surfactant-to-polymer-repeat-unit ratios. Practically, this means PE-S used for structural investigations of formed complexes typically a mixture primary and large aggregates close charge-neutral complexes.In work, we unique approach allows preparation equilibrium...
Silica nanoparticles (SNPs) belong to the most widely produced nanomaterials nowadays. Particle size distribution (PSD) is a key property of SNPs that needs be accurately determined for successful application. Many single particle and ensemble characterization methods are available determination PSD SNPs, each having different advantages limitations. Since preparation protocols can yield bimodal or heterogeneous PSDs, capability given method resolve great importance. In this work, four...
Fibrin, the main scaffold of thrombi, is susceptible to citrullination by PAD (peptidyl arginine deiminase) 4, secreted from neutrophils during formation neutrophil extracellular traps. Citrullinated fibrinogen (citFg) has been detected in human plasma as well murine venous and it decreases lysability mechanical resistance fibrin clots.To investigate effect on structure clots.Fibrinogen was citrullinated with PAD4 clotted thrombin. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) atomic force (AFM) were...
