Internalization of β-Amyloid Peptide by Primary Neurons in the Absence of Apolipoprotein E *
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Aβ-(1–42) is more efficiently internalized by axons than by cell bodies of sympathetic neurons, suggesting that A α7nAChR, previously suggested to be involved in Aβ internalization, is enriched in axons, which suggests an endocytic pathway involving caveolae/lipid rafts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homemade traditional cheeses for the isolation of probiotic Enterococcus faecium strains.
Lucila Saavedra,María Pía Taranto,Fernando Sesma,Graciela Font de Valdez,Graciela Font de Valdez +4 more
TL;DR: Enterococcus faecium isolated from Tafí Cheese, a homemade traditional cheese of the highlands in the province of Tucumán, Argentina, were evaluated for their potential application as starter cultures in the manufacture of this traditional cheese.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of the Enterocin CRL35 Activity by a Synthetic Peptide Derived from the NH2-Terminal Sequence
TL;DR: Short synthetic peptides were designed based on the bacteriocin sequence and were evaluated in antimicrobial competitive assays and produced an enhancement of enterocin CRL35 antimicrobial activity in a buffer system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of antilisterial structural bacteriocins genes in meat borne lactic acid bacteria
TL;DR: The antilisterial potential of L. sakei and E. faecium offers great possibilities for the meat industry as biopreservative cultures, although more studies are needed in order to conclude about this issue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vaginal bacterial microflora modifications during the growth of healthy cows
C. Otero,Lucila Saavedra,C. Silva de Ruiz,O.R. Wilde,Aida Pesce de Ruiz Holgado,María Elena Nader-Macías +5 more
TL;DR: The results will allow the selection of micro‐organisms with probiotic characteristics, classified as GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe), to be used in the prevention of infections in the vaginal tract of cows, such as metritis, which produces delayed periods between partum and conception, and consequent economic losses.
