Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the use of recombinant psoriasin as a potential new treatment for oral candidiasis, specifically targeting the growth of Candida albicans on denture materials.
- Researchers conducted experiments to assess psoriasin's efficacy and safety, showing it effectively inhibited fungal growth when used in sufficient concentrations.
- The results suggest psoriasin could be a safer alternative to traditional antifungals for treating denture-related fungal infections, with minimal cytotoxic effects on human cells.
Article Synopsis
- Cell-penetrating peptides are emerging as effective tools for delivering therapeutic agents into cells, particularly those derived from antimicrobial proteins.
- A specific 16-residue peptide from the defensin MtDef4 was tested and shown to penetrate various mammalian cell types quickly and in low concentrations.
- When fused to GFP, this peptide not only facilitated the delivery of the protein into cells but also had minimal impact on cell viability, highlighting its potential for therapeutic development.
Lactic acid bacteria are fully recognized for their industrial applications among which the production and release of exopolysaccharides. In the present investigation, we screened fifteen Lactobacilli in order to find ropy strains, quantify exopolysaccharides and detect proteins specifically associated with the ropy-exopolysaccharide production. The highest ropy-exopolysaccharide producer (L.
