TLDR
It is reported for the first time that PLE induced apoptosis in C. albicans through a metacaspase-dependent apoptotic pathway, indicating the ROS was an important mediator of PLE-induced apoptosis.

Silver nanoparticles induce apoptotic cell death in Candida albicans through the increase of hydroxyl radicals.

TL;DR: The results indicate that silver nanoparticles possess antifungal effects with apoptotic features and suggest that the hydroxyl radicals generated bysilver nanoparticles have a significant role in mitochondrial dysfunctional apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phytochemical and biological studies of bryophytes.

TL;DR: Each liverwort biosynthesizes unique components, which are valuable for their chemotaxonomic classification, and typical chemical structures and biological activity of the selected liverworts constituents as well as the total synthesis of some biologically active compounds are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive oxygen species-inducing antifungal agents and their activity against fungal biofilms

TL;DR: This review provides an overview of the different classes of antimycotics and novel antifungal compounds that induce ROS in fungal planktonic and biofilm cells and different strategies to further enhance the antibiofilm activity of such ROS-inducing antimyCotics will be discussed.

Caspofungin Kills Candida albicans by Causing both Cellular Apoptosis and Necrosis

TL;DR: Caspofungin exerts activity against C. albicans by directly killing cells (resulting in necrosis) and causing others to undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis).

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

A novel assay for apoptosis. Flow cytometric detection of phosphatidylserine expression on early apoptotic cells using fluorescein labelled Annexin V.

TL;DR: The Annexin V assay offers the possibility of detecting early phases of apoptosis before the loss of cell membrane integrity and permits measurements of the kinetics of apoptotic death in relation to the cell cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early redistribution of plasma membrane phosphatidylserine is a general feature of apoptosis regardless of the initiating stimulus: inhibition by overexpression of Bcl-2 and Abl.

TL;DR: It is shown that PS externalization is an early and widespread event during apoptosis of a variety of murine and human cell types, regardless of the initiating stimulus, and precedes several other events normally associated with this mode of cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondria as the central control point of apoptosis

TL;DR: The current view of the mechanisms that lead to the efflux of many proteins from mitochondria during apoptosis and the role played by Bcl-2 family proteins in the control of this event are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Annexin V-affinity assay: a review on an apoptosis detection system based on phosphatidylserine exposure.

TL;DR: The basic mechanisms underlying the loss of membrane asymmetry during apoptosis are described and the novel annexin V-binding assay is discussed, an extension to the current available methods.
