Journal ArticleDOI

Alginate/chitosan nanoparticles are effective for oral insulin delivery.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the encapsulation of insulin into mucoadhesive nanoparticles was a key factor in the improvement of its oral absorption and oral bioactivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functionally Unequal Centrosomes Drive Spindle Orientation in Asymmetrically Dividing Drosophila Neural Stem Cells

TL;DR: Drosophila larval neural stem cells engineered to express fluorescent reporters for microtubules, pericentriolar material, and centrioles reveal that spindle orientation in Drosophile larval NBs is determined very early in the cell cycle, and is mediated by asymmetric centrosome function.
Journal ArticleDOI

International Society of Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM)-ITS reference DNA barcoding database--the quality controlled standard tool for routine identification of human and animal pathogenic fungi.

Laszlo Irinyi, +57 more

TL;DR: An international consortium of medical mycology laboratories was formed aiming to establish a quality controlled ITS database, containing 2800 ITS sequences representing 421 fungal species, providing the medical community with a freely accessible tool to rapidly and reliably identify most agents of mycoses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gamma-tubulin is required for the structure and function of the microtubule organizing centre in Drosophila neuroblasts.

TL;DR: Results show that gamma‐tubulin is required for both structural and functional roles in theMTOCs, and that mutation in this gene results in highly abnormal MTOCs which show a variety of shapes and sizes which the authors never observed in wild type cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Upregulation of bone cell differentiation through immobilization within a synthetic extracellular matrix.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that peptides covalently coupled to alginate were efficient in influencing cell behavior within this 3D system, and may provide adequate preparation of osteoblasts for cell transplantation.
