The effect of cerium dioxide nanoparticles on the viability of hippocampal neurons in Alzheimer’s disease modeling
The possibilities of using nanoparticle materials based on cerium dioxide (CNPs) are exciting since they are low toxic and have specific redox, antiradical properties. It can be supposed that CNPs’ biomedical use is also relevant in neurodegenerative diseases, especially Alzheimer’s disease (AD). AD is known as the pathologies leading to Читати далі

Anaerobic Degradation of the Invasive Weed Solidago canadensis L. (goldenrod) and Copper Immobilization by a Community of Sulfate-Reducing and Methane-Producing Bacteria
The weed Solidago canadensis L. poses a global threat to the environment as it spreads uncontrollably on roadsides, in forests, fields, meadows, and farmland. Goldenrod emits toxic substances that suppress other plants on the site, displacing wild ones. Thus, goldenrod conquers huge areas very quickly. The use of herbicides and Читати далі
Antifungal Activity and Effect of Plant-Associated Bacteria on Phenolic Synthesis of Quercus robur L.
Europe’s forests, particularly in Ukraine, are highly vulnerable to climate change. The maintenance and improvement of forest health are high-priority issues, and various stakeholders have shown an interest in understanding and utilizing ecological interactions between trees and their associated microorganisms. Endophyte microbes can influence the health of trees either by Читати далі
Screening of bacteriocin-producing dairy Enterococcus strains using low-cost culture media
This study was carried out to select the bacteriocinogenic strains among Enterococcus strains isolated from Ukrainian traditional dairy products using a low-cost media for screening, that containing molasses and steep corn liquor. A total of 475 Enterococcus spp. strains were screened for antagonistic activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Escherichia coli Читати далі
Phytopathogenic Bacteria Associated with Bacterioses of Common Oak (Quercus robur L.) in Ukraine
Studying the biological characteristics of the causative agents of bacteriosis of the common oak (Quercus robur L.) (to highlight the links between the key factors of pathogenesis and bacterial groups) is a new and relevant area of research. This work aims to identify the species composition of phytopathogenic bacteria associated Читати далі
In silico study of HASDI (high-affinity selective DNA intercalator) as a new agent capable of highly selective recognition of the DNA sequence
Abstract Cancer as an acquired genetic disease is based on changes both in the genome itself and in transcription processes. Accordingly, it is at the DNA level that it makes sense to search for and design agents capable of effective and selective anticancer action. In this study, we used an Читати далі
In vitro and in silico studies of the antiviral activity of polyhydrated fullerenes against influenza A (H1N1) virus
Abstract As of today, influenza viruses remain a relevant target for the development of antiviral compounds due to their rapid evolution and acquisition of the resistance to existing drugs. Fullerene derivatives have already shown the ability to successfully interact with viruses, and polyhydrated fullerenes (or fullerenols) are particularly attractive due Читати далі
