milk is an important component of a balanced diet and contains many valuable constituents. a considerable part of the milk healthbenefits is related to its proteins, not only for their nutritive value but also for their biological properties. scientific evidence suggests that anticarcinogenic activities, antihypertensive properties, immune system modulation, and other metabolic features of milk...

Candida glabrata is a clinically relevant human pathogen with the ability to form high recalcitrant biofilms that contribute establishment and persistence of infection. A defining trait auto-produced matrix, which suggested have structural, virulent protective roles. Thus, elucidation matrix components, their function modulation by host environment crucial disclose role in C. pathogenesis. As m...

Stewart LT. Cell adhesion proteins and the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorders. J Neurophysiol 113: 1283–1286, 2015. First published July 2, 2014; doi:10.1152/jn.00780.2013.—Current theories on the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) maintain that the associated cognitive and behavioral symptoms are caused by aberrant synaptic transmission affecting specific brain circuits. Tr...

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) causes diarrhea in travelers, young children and piglets, but the precise pathogenesis of ETEC induced diarrhea is not fully known. Recent investigations have shown that tight junction (TJ) proteins and aquaporin 3 (AQP 3) are contributing factors in bacterial diarrhea. In this study, using immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry analyses, we found that E...

Pathogenesis related (PR) proteins are one of the major sources of plant derived allergens. These proteins are induced by the plants as a defense response system in stress conditions like microbial and insect infections, wounding, exposure to harsh chemicals, and atmospheric conditions. However, some plant tissues that are more exposed to environmental conditions like UV irradiation and insect ...

In this work, a selection of food-grade ceramic materials (CM1, CM2) was evaluated in terms capacity to adsorb pathogenesis-related proteins (PRPs), thus preventing protein haze bottled white wines. The CM1 found as the most effective sorbent material, when used nano-structured form (nano-powders and mesoporous films) which magnifies specific surface available for adsorption. material showed hi...

Most of the allergenic proteins from fruits identified so far belong to different families pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins. These PR have been classified in structurally and functionally unrelated proteins, but majority all fruit allergens three groups, particular PR-5 thaumatin-like (TLP), PR-10 Bet v 1-like PR-14 non-specific lipid transfer (nsTLP). Some can also be found among PR-protein ...
