Early Contact Stage of Apoptosis: Its Morphological Features and Function by Etheri Mikadze, Teo Mamatsashvili

“…We assume that the apoptotic cell, besides proteolytic products, can contain newly synthesized, low-molecular substances, the relocation of which from apoptotic to neighboring cells may contribute to both functional activity and proliferation of adjacent hepatoblasts and, therefore, the function of apoptosis may not be limited only to the elimination of harmful, damaged, and unwanted cells.…”

Enzymatic functionalization of bacterial nanocellulose: current approaches and future prospects by Monika Kaczmarek, Aneta Monika Białkowska

“…The employment of enzymes for the targeted alteration of this material’s properties is based on either a direct method, such as controlled hydrolysis and nanofication [i.e., synthesis of different morphological forms of bacterial cellulose (e.g., rod-shaped nanocrystals)] using cellulases, and/or attachment of reactive functional groups into the polymer structure via oxidation (e.g., utilizing a laccase/TEMPO catalytic system or lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases) and esterification catalyzed by lipases; or an indirect procedure involving the application of bacterial nanocellulose as a matrix for enzyme immobilization (e.g., laccase, glucose oxidase, horseradish peroxidase, lysozyme, bromelain, lipase, papain), thus creating a specific catalytic system. …”

Propofol Induces Postoperative Depression and Inhibits Microglial Function in Mice by Feng Song, Xiao Lv, Jing Meng

“…We also examined the brain section of these mice and revealed that there was significant reduced expression of the CD11b protein, which demonstrated an inhibition of propofol on microglial function. We investigated the effect of propofol on synaptic protein, SYP, and found there was no notable influence on the protein expression. …”
