Understanding the cellular response of human tenon fibroblast on polycaprolactone-Aloe vera blend fiber.

The signalling response is determined by the cell's reaction to different biochemical and biophysical inputs such as stiffness, topological, and structural alignment. The surface patterns at the nano-scale can be an influential factor in cell signalling behaviour. It is important to understand the cellular response to the biophysical cues for biomedical applications.

Peroxiredoxin of Arthrospira platensis derived short molecule YT12 influences antioxidant and anticancer activity.

This study demonstrates both the antioxidant and anticancer potential of the novel short molecule YT12 derived from peroxiredoxin (Prx) of spirulina, Arthrospira platensis (Ap). ApPrx showed significant reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS) against hydrogen peroxide (H O ) stress. The complementary DNA sequence of ApPrx contained 706 nucleotides and its coding region possessed 546 nucleotides between position 115 and 660.

Arthrospira platensis transglutaminase derived antioxidant peptide-packed electrospun chitosan/ poly (vinyl alcohol) nanofibrous mat accelerates wound healing, in vitro, via inducing mouse embryonic fibroblast proliferation.

In this present study, we have carried out the antioxidant function of transglutaminase (TG) identified from Arthrospira platensis (Ap) transcriptome. The antioxidant peptide ML11 (MLRSIGIPARL) has been predicted from the transglutaminase core domain and the peptide's free radical scavenging potential was evaluated and it shows that it functions on a dose dependent manner. The ML11 peptide cell toxicity was analysed in the human blood leucocytes which resulted no cytotoxic activity in any of the cell population.
