DIANA-TarBase v7.0: indexing more than half a million experimentally supported miRNA:mRNA interactions
Ioannis S. Vlachos,Ioannis S. Vlachos,Maria D. Paraskevopoulou,Dimitra Karagkouni,Georgios Georgakilas,Thanasis Vergoulis,Ilias Kanellos,Ioannis-Laertis Anastasopoulos,Sofia Maniou,Konstantina Karathanou,Despoina Kalfakakou,Athanasios Fevgas,Theodore Dalamagas,Artemis G. Hatzigeorgiou +13 more
TL;DR: DIANA-TarBase v7.0 aims to provide for the first time hundreds of thousands of high-quality manually curated experimentally validated miRNA:gene interactions, enhanced with detailed meta-data, which enables users to easily identify positive or negative experimental results, the utilized experimental methodology, experimental conditions including cell/tissue type and treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic nanoparticles coated with polyarabic acid demonstrate enhanced drug delivery and imaging properties for cancer theranostic applications.
Maria Patitsa,Konstantina Karathanou,Konstantina Karathanou,Zoi Kanaki,Lamprini Tzioga,Natassa Pippa,C Demetzos,Dimitris A. Verganelakis,Zoe Cournia,Apostolos Klinakis +9 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that magnetic nanodevices coated with polyarabic acid offer a new avenue for theranostics efforts as efficient drug carriers, while providing excellent contrasting properties due to their ferrous magnetic core, which can help the future design of nanomaterials for cancer imaging and therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
NanoCrystal: A Web-Based Crystallographic Tool for the Construction of Nanoparticles Based on Their Crystal Habit
Alexios Chatzigoulas,Alexios Chatzigoulas,Konstantina Karathanou,Konstantina Karathanou,Dimitris Dellis,Zoe Cournia +5 more
TL;DR: NanoCrystal is a novel web-based crystallographic tool that creates nanoparticle models from any crystal structure guided by their preferred equilibrium shape under standard conditions according to the Wulff morphology (crystal habit).
Journal ArticleDOI
Coating of magnetic nanoparticles affects their interactions with model cell membranes.
Michalis Lazaratos,Konstantina Karathanou,Eleftherios Mainas,Alexios Chatzigoulas,Natassa Pippa,Costas Demetzos,Zoe Cournia +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that functionalized magnetite nanoparticles interact strongly with the DPPC lipid bilayers and that the interactions of the nanoparticles are strongly related to their surface coatings, which is a key factor for identifying promising nanoparticle platforms for theranostic applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preproteins couple the intrinsic dynamics of SecA to its ATPase cycle to translocate via a catch and release mechanism.
Srinath Krishnamurthy,Marios Frantzeskos Sardis,Nikolaos Eleftheriadis,Katerina E. Chatzi,Jochem H. Smit,Konstantina Karathanou,Giorgos Gouridis,Athina G. Portaliou,Ana-Nicoleta Bondar,Spyridoula Karamanou,Anastassios Economou +10 more
TL;DR: In this article , the intrinsic dynamics of the translocase ATPase, SecA, and preproteins combine to achieve translocation in bacterial cytoplasmic membranes.
