Nitric oxide-releasing injectable hydrogels with high antibacterial activity through in situ formation of peroxynitrite.

Acta biomaterialia
UNLABELLED: Nitric oxide (NO) is an endogenous molecule with many critical biological functions that depend on its concentration. At high levels, NO provides broad-spectrum antibacterial effects through both its pathogen inhibition and killing abilit...

Antifungal properties and biocompatibility of silver nanoparticle coatings on silicone maxillofacial prostheses in vitro.

Journal of biomedical materials research. Part B, Applied biomaterials
Patients with facial prostheses suffer from yeast, Candida albicans, infections. This study aimed to determine the biocompatibility and antifungal properties of silicone facial prostheses coated with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) in vitro. Medical gr...

Novel Imidazo[4,5-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxides as antiproliferative trypanosoma cruzi drugs: Computational screening from neural network, synthesis and in vivo biological properties.

European journal of medicinal chemistry
A new family of imidazo[4,5-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxide with antiproliferative Trypanosoma cruzi properties was identified from a neural network model published by our group. The synthesis and evaluation of this new class of trypanocidal agents ...

Multiparameter mechanical and morphometric screening of cells.

Scientific reports
We introduce a label-free method to rapidly phenotype and classify cells purely based on physical properties. We extract 15 biophysical parameters from cells as they deform in a microfluidic stretching flow field via high-speed microscopy and apply m...

Machine Learning Approach to Automated Quality Identification of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Colony Images.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
The focus of this research is on automated identification of the quality of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) colony images. iPS cell technology is a contemporary method by which the patient's cells are reprogrammed back to stem cells and ar...

Quantifying co-cultured cell phenotypes in high-throughput using pixel-based classification.

Methods (San Diego, Calif.)
Biologists increasingly use co-culture systems in which two or more cell types are grown in cell culture together in order to better model cells' native microenvironments. Co-cultures are often required for cell survival or proliferation, or to maint...

Effect of earthworm active protein on fibroblast proliferation and its mechanism.

Pharmaceutical biology
CONTEXT: Earthworms have been used as a traditional medicine in China from thousands of years. In recent years, research has demonstrated that earthworm extracts might promote wound healing; however, its mechanism is still unknown.

Automated, high-throughput derivation, characterization and differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells.

Nature methods
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are an essential tool for modeling how causal genetic variants impact cellular function in disease, as well as an emerging source of tissue for regenerative medicine. The preparation of somatic cells, their repr...

Scalable 96-well Plate Based iPSC Culture and Production Using a Robotic Liquid Handling System.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Continued advancement in pluripotent stem cell culture is closing the gap between bench and bedside for using these cells in regenerative medicine, drug discovery and safety testing. In order to produce stem cell derived biopharmaceutics and cells fo...

Quantifying small molecule phenotypic effects using mitochondrial morpho-functional fingerprinting and machine learning.

Scientific reports
In primary fibroblasts from Leigh Syndrome (LS) patients, isolated mitochondrial complex I deficiency is associated with increased reactive oxygen species levels and mitochondrial morpho-functional changes. Empirical evidence suggests these aberratio...
