Subconfluent normal human keratinocytes exhibit autonomous (autocrine growth factor driven) proliferation and express the specific markers for keratinocyte proliferation K5 (keratin 5) and K14… (More)
Cholesterol has been recently suggested to regulate the early steps of keratinocyte differentiation through lipid rafts. In many cell types, depletion of cholesterol activates signaling proteins like… (More)
Polysaccharide-based nanofibers with a multilayered structure are prepared by combining electrospinning (ESP) and layer-by-layer (LBL) deposition techniques. Charged nanofibers are firstly prepared… (More)
In the present study, we have investigated the effect of the chemical CDK-inhibitor CYC202 on E6 and E7-transformed keratinocytes, in which the function of the cellular cell cycle inhibitor p21Cip1… (More)
A 90 wt.% MgH2 – 10 wt.% V2O5 composite was obtained by ball milling of a mixture of magnesium hydride and vanadia for 60 min under argon. Hydrogen sorption properties of the composite were… (More)
The final goal of the present study was the development of a 3-D chitosan dressing that would shorten the healing time of skin wounds by stimulating migration, invasion, and proliferation of the… (More)
Mouse plasmacytomas are appropriate models to study the biology of human multiple myeloma (MM). Growth of murine interleukin-6 (IL-6)-dependent hybridoma/plasmacytoma lines can be stimulated by… (More)
CYC202 (R-roscovitine) is a potent cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, investigated as a potential anti-cancer agent. The knowledge of the action of this pharmacological agent on normal human cells is… (More)
The composition and structure of TiAl-based metallizations have been investigated depending on the Ti and Mo barriers. It is found out that the contact resistivity depends mainly on the Ti/Al ratio.… (More)
For many years, chitosan and its derivatives have been considered to be promising biomaterials for tissue engineering and repair. However, information regarding their biological effect on cell… (More)
