Investigation of the Amyloid Properties of Winter Flounder Antifreeze Protein (AFP6) and the Application of Aqueous Curcumin in the Detection of this Protein
(2021-05-05)A Pseudopleuronectes americanus antifreeze protein, AFP6, has previously been shown to form amyloid upon specific interaction with an ice surface. In this work, an in situ real-time assay for amyloid formation by amyloid ... -
NANOCHARACTERIZATION AND HEME-OXYGENASE 1 INDUCTION BY A NOVEL NANOFORMULATED BOTANICAL
(2024-01-08)Plants naturally synthesize nanoparticles to transport cellular materials that contain potential active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Curcuminoids (e.g. curcumin) are the most abundant APIs in turmeric spice (from the ... -
Use of nanoparticles (HPPS) to carry Curcumin to induce Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1) as a cytoprotective agent in human endothelial cells
(2019-01-07)High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are endogenous nanoparticles that maintain physiological levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) via reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). HDL is known to reduce atherosclerotic lesions, ...
