DIANA-TarBase v7.0: indexing more than half a million experimentally supported miRNA:mRNA interactions

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.

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

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.

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.

TL;DR: In this article , the intrinsic dynamics of the translocase ATPase, SecA, and preproteins combine to achieve translocation in bacterial cytoplasmic membranes.
