The aggregation of two short peptides, [RF] and [RF]4 (where R = arginine and F = phenylalanine), at dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) model membranes was investigated at the air-water interface using the Langmuir technique and vesicles in aqueous solutions. The molar ratio of the peptide and lipid components was varied to provide insights…[Read more]

In summary, by identifying a novel regulatory role of sRNA in the blast fungus, our studies reveal a new paradigm in the multifaceted regulatory pathways that govern the appressorium formation and virulence of M. oryzae. We investigated the skin sensitization hazard of glyphosate, the surfactant polyethylated tallow amine (POEA) and two commercial…[Read more]

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of aqueous Withania somnifera root (WSR) extract in broiler chicks experimentally infected with Escherichia coli O78 @ 107 CFU/0.5 ml intraperitoneally. Clinical signs and mortality due to colibacillosis observed in infected chicks were mild and lasted for short duration in WSR extract…[Read more]

Overall, the present study demonstrates that the J/T@8P4s can be a promising therapeutic treatment against the PDAC via suppression of SE-associated oncogenic transcription, and provides a strategy utilizing NPs to assist the drug delivery targeting SEs. © 2020 The Authors.
