Although rolling circle amplification (RCA) is an efficient method to produce DNA materials for biomedical applications, it does not yield nano-sized products suitable intracellular delivery. We here provide the ways control size of RCA and show a potential application size-controlled nanoparticles.
Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and STAT3 signaling is considered a major pathway in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑induced inflammation. Toll‑like receptor 4 (TLR‑4) an inflammatory response that activates JAK2 during transcription factor for the pro‑inflammatory cytokine IL‑6 Sulfur essential element amino acids required growth development. Non‑toxic sulfur (NTS) can be used livestock feeds as it lacks toxicity. The present study aimed to inhibit LPS‑induced inflammation C2C12 myoblasts using NTS by...
The detecting and screening of explosives has become a global consideration in dealing with potential terrorism threats the misuse high explosives. Several detection techniques have been developed, but their disadvantages include requirement expensive equipment, complicated pre-treatment, prolonged testing. So far, fluorescence-based sensors great interest as they overcome limitations other techniques. BODIPY, which is fluorophore, shows excellent fluorescence features, it can be used sensor...
This study describes the development and characterization of a novel dendritic signal amplification strategy. It relies on use two different Ru(bpy)32+-doped silica nanoparticles (Probe1,2RSNP Probe2cRSNP) coated with complementary DNAs, which can be simply conveniently self-assembled to build sandwich-type architectures gold grid. The performance this route was demonstrated in conjunction electrogenerated chemiluminescent (ECL) detection target DNA. Compared normal amplification, allowed...
Iron homeostasis is considered a key factor in human metabolism, and abrogation the system could create adverse effects, including cancer. Moreover, 6-gingerol widely used bioactive phenolic compound with anticancer activity, studies on its exact mechanisms non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells are still undergoing. This study aimed to find mechanism of death induction by NSCLC cells. Western blotting, real-time polymerase chain reaction, flow cytometry were for molecular signaling...
A great deal of effort has been made to develop devices and methods for detecting toxic heavy metals their compounds. Traditionally, such as mass spectrometry atomic absorption have used the detection these metal ions. However, in spite superb sensitivity, equipment can be operated only by experts requires pre-treatment steps taking more than 10 hours. On other hand, spectrophoto-metric often determination ions, due advantages simplicity inexpensive instrumentation. they cannot practice...
High glucose-induced inflammation leads to atherosclerosis, which is considered a major cause of death in type 1 and 2 diabetic patients. Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) plays central role high activated through toll-like receptors (TLRs) as well canonical protein kinase C-dependent (PKC) pathways. Non-toxic sulfur (NTS) methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) are two sulfur-containing natural compounds that can induce anti-inflammation. Using Western blotting, real-time polymerase chain reaction, flow...
