Age-dependent changes in damage processes of hair cuticle.
Human hair cuticle is always exposed to various stresses and then gradually lost in daily life. There are two typical patterns of cuticle damage: type L, where the cell membrane complex, the structure located between cuticle cells, is split and the cuticle lift... | {

Six cases of Lactobacillus bacteraemia: identification of organisms and antibiotic susceptibility and therapy.
Six cases of bacteraemia in hospitalized patients, 5 with a depressed immune status, were caused by lactobacilli. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of whole-cell proteins and API 50 CH ... | {

Bacterial ghosts as drug carrier and targeting vehicles.
A novel system for the packaging of drugs as well as vaccines is presented. Bacterial ghosts are intact, non-denatured bacterial envelopes that are created by lysis of bacteria through the expression of cloned phage PhiX174 gene E. Inhibition of induced E-mediate... | {

Ascorbate/Fe(3+)-induced peroxidation and inhibition of the binding of A1 adenosine receptor ligands in rat brain membranes.
The effect of peroxidation induced by the ascorbate/Fe3+ system on the binding properties of the A1 adenosine receptor, was studied in rat brain membranes, using the agonist, [3H]R-N6-phenylisopr... | {
