protein aggregation and precipitation is associated with many debilitating diseases including alzheimer's, parkinson's, and light-chain amyloidosis. β-casein, a member of the casein family, has been demonstrated to exhibit chaperone-like activity to protect protein form aggregation. hofmeister salts (lyotropice series) are a class of ions which have an effect on the solubility and also the stab...

a series of novel 2-aminopyrimidine and 2-substituted-4,6-diaminopyrimidine derivatives have been synthesized and their anti platelet aggregation activities were assessed against adp and arachidonic acid- induced platelet aggregation in human plasma using light transmission aggregometry. none of the compounds showed satisfactory activity against the aggregation induced by adp. however, satisfac...

the aggregation of protein is the most prevalent and the most disturbing kind of instability and this challenge exists in almost every stage of the development of protein drug. the presence of insoluble aggregations in protein drugs will make the supply of the product a tough job. this study identifies the inhibition of the folded interferon beta 1-b’s aggregation with the assistance of some ex...

Polyglutamine (polyQ) aggregation plays a pivotal role in the pathological process of Huntington's disease and other polyQ disorders. Therefore, strategies aiming at restoring dysfunction and reducing stresses mediated by polyQ toxicity are of therapeutic interest for proteotoxicity diseases. Salidroside, a glycoside from Rhodiola rosea, has been shown to have a variety of bioactivities, includ...

epidemiologic studies show that the cardiovascular diseases are associated with multiple factors such as raised serum total cholesterol, increased ldl, increased platelet aggregation, hypertension and smoking. in-vitro studies have confirmed the ability of some plants of allium species to reduce these parameters. therefore, we evaluated anti-platelet aggregation effect of some allium species (a...

Innate social behaviours emerge from neuronal circuits that interpret sensory information on the basis of an individual’s own genotype, sex and experience. The regulated aggregation behaviour of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a simple animal with only 302 neurons, is an attractive system to analyse these circuits. Wild social strains of C. elegans aggregate in the presence of specific sen...

plants firing fuel oil produce huge quantities of fly ash as solid waste, which needs to becharacterized prior to its proper management. it is worth mentioning that the published literature lackcomprehensive information on the characteristics of such fly ash. characteristics of fuel oil fly ash producedat selected power (pp) and water desalination (dp) plants were determined. the results showed...

Super- and sub-additive transformations of aggregation functions have been recently introduced by Greco, Mesiar, Rindone and v{S}ipeky [The superadditive and the subadditive transformations of integrals and aggregation functions, {it Fuzzy Sets and Systems} {bf 291} (2016), 40--53]. In this article we give a survey of the recent development regarding the existence of aggregation functions with ...

Platelet aggregation inhibitory effect and anticoagulant properties of fractions separated from the venoms of Cerastes persicus fieldi and Echis carinatus were investigated. The partial fractionation was performed on a Sephadex G-100 column. Two fractions separated from Cerastes persicus fieldi showed anti platelet aggregation activity on ADP (200 µM)-induced platelet aggregation (ca 80% inhibi...
