| rare or rarely detected? ceraceosorus guamensis sp. nov.: a second described species of ceraceosorales and the potential for underdetection of rare lineages with common sampling techniques. | ceraceosorales is a monotypic order in ustilaginomycotina. its namesake, ceraceosorus bombacis, was described as a phytopathogen of bombax ceiba in india. in this study, we describe ceraceosorus guamensis sp. nov., collected on the south pacific island of guam, which appears to represent the second isolation of any member of this order in over 40 years. ceraceosorus species are monokaryotic and filamentous in culture, producing conidia on potato dextrose agar. however, both species behave yeast- ... | 2016 | 27236321 |
| kapok fiber: a natural biomaterial for highly specific and efficient enrichment of sialoglycopeptides. | cancer development and chronic diseases are associated with the overexpression of sialoglycans terminated to the surface proteins and lipids of cancer cells compared with normal cells. the isolation and detection of sialoglycopeptides from complex peptides mixture still remain challenges due to their low abundance, low ionization, and losses of sialic acid residues and water molecule during analytical processes. in this study, kapok fiber, a natural fiber derived from the kapok tree (bombax ceib ... | 2016 | 26690944 |
| protective effects of cambodian medicinal plants on tert‑butyl hydroperoxide‑induced hepatotoxicity via nrf2‑mediated heme oxygenase‑1. | liver diseases are considered to be primary contributors to morbidity and mortality rates in humans. oxidative stress is critical in liver injury, and oxidant‑induced liver injury may be caused by toxins, including tert‑butyl hydroperoxide (t‑bhp). the present study investigated the hepatoprotective activities of 64 crude ethanol extracts of cambodian medicinal plants against t‑bhp‑induced cytotoxicity in human liver‑derived hepg2 cells, and assessed their cytoprotective mechanism pertaining to ... | 2017 | 27959441 |
