Nanoparticle biofabrication using English ivy (Hedera helix)
BACKGROUND English ivy (Hedera helix) is well known for its adhesive properties and climbing ability. Essential to its ability to adhere to vertical surfaces is the secretion of a nanocomposite adhesive containing spherical nanoparticles, 60-85 nm in diameter, produced exclusively by root hairs present on adventitious roots. These organic nanoparticles have shown promise in biomedical and cosme...
متن کاملDermatitis from common ivy (Hedera helix L. subsp. helix) in Europe: past, present, and future.
Common ivy (Hedera helix subsp. helix) is a well-known native and ornamental plant in Europe. Reports on contact dermatitis from ivy have regularly appeared since 1899. Recently, it has been suggested that allergic contact dermatitis from the plant may be under-diagnosed, partly due to lack of commercial patch test allergens. The objective of the article is to present the results of aimed patch...

He hadworked as a landscape gardener for the previous 2 years, and had been pruning common ivy 2 days before the dermatitis outbreak. Examination showed severe dermatitis on the middle of his thighs down to his lower legs, partly involving the ankles, and on the middle of his upper arms...
متن کاملCharacterization of English ivy (Hedera helix) adhesion force and imaging using atomic force microscopy
English ivy (Hedera helix) is well known for its ability to climb onto and strongly adhere to a variety of solid substrates. It has been discovered that the ivy aerial rootlet secretes an adhesive composed of polysaccharide and spherical nanoparticles. This study aims to characterize the mechanical properties of the nanocomposite adhesive using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The adhesive was fi...
متن کاملStructure, attachment properties, and ecological importance of the attachment system of English ivy (Hedera helix)
Root climbers such as English ivy (Hedera helix) rely on specialized adventitious roots for attachment, enabling the plants to climb on a wide range of natural and artificial substrates. Despite their importance for the climbing habit, the biomechanical properties of these specialized adventitious roots compared with standard roots and their performance in the attachment to different host speci...
