    Abstract : To cope with various endogenous toxin and xenobiotics nature has equipped the organisms with a proper protection system. Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are important components of the cellular defense against oxidative stress. These proteins appear to be suited for different tasks. READ MORE

  4. 22. The synthesis of dendritic hydrogels and inorganic nanoparticles and their application as antibacterial and imaging materials

    Author : Yanmiao Fan; Michael Malkoch; Annelie Brauner; Mauri Kostiainen; KTH; []
    Keywords : antibacterial hydrogels; dendritic polymers; dendrimers; silicon nanoparticles; cellulose nanofibrils; drug-resistant bacteria; wound dressings; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : AbstractThe overuse and misuse of conventional antibiotics has caused increased prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria, the infections of which cause high mortality and economic losses per year. It is therefore crucial to develop new technologies and treatments for infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria. READ MORE

    Abstract : Enteropathogenic Yersinia species can infect many mammalian organs such as the small intestine, cecum, Peyer’s patches, liver, spleen, and lung and cause diseases that resemble a typhoid-like syndrome, as seen for other enteropathogens. We found that sublethal infection doses of Y. READ MORE
