Journal ArticleDOI

Probiotics: effects on immunity

TL;DR: The data show that probiotics can be used as innovative tools to alleviate intestinal inflammation, normalize gut mucosal dysfunction, and down-regulate hypersensitivity reactions and suggest that specific immunomodulatory properties of probiotic bacteria should be characterized when developing clinical applications for extended target populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of polyunsaturated fatty acids on probiotic growth and adhesion.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the action of probiotics in the gut may be modulated by dietary PUFA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Internalization of novel non-viral vector TAT-streptavidin into human cells

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that TAT-SA-PPAA is a potential non-viral vector to be utilized in protein therapeutics to deliver biotinylated molecules both into cytoplasm and nucleus of human cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

BioImageXD: an open, general-purpose and high-throughput image-processing platform

TL;DR: BioImageXD allows simple construction of processing pipelines and should enable biologists to perform challenging analyses of complex processes, and is demonstrated in a study of integrin clustering in response to selected inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clustering Induces a Lateral Redistribution of α2β1 Integrin from Membrane Rafts to Caveolae and Subsequent Protein Kinase C-dependent Internalization

TL;DR: Alpha 2 beta 1 integrin was found inside caveolae and subsequently internalized into caveosome-like perinuclear structures, and the internalization process, unlike cluster formation or lateral redistribution, was dependent on protein kinase C alpha activity.
