Molecular characterization and functional analysis of scavenger receptor class B from black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon)

BACKGROUND: Scavenger receptor class B (SRB) is a multifunctional protein in animals that participates in physiological processes, including recognition of a wide range of ligands. Astaxanthin is a major carotenoid found in shrimp. However, the molecular mechanism of astaxanthin and SRB protein binding h...

Estabilidad de color de dientes naturales ante diferentes bebidas: estudio in vitro
Color stability of natural teeth against different drinks: in vitro study

Rev. ADM; 78 (2), 2021
El color es un efecto visual de los rayos de luz reflejándose y su concepto es complejo por ser una sensación que se percibe y por las características electromagnéticas. Los dientes varían espacialmente porque son curvados, tienen prolongaciones relativamente pequeñas y vistas en contra de una vari...

Expression of antimicrobial peptide Cecropin P1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its antibacterial and antiviral activity in vitro

BACKGROUND: Cecropin P1, acting as an antimicrobial, has a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity with some antiviral and antifungal properties. It is a promising natural alternative to antibiotics which is originally isolated from the pig intestinal parasitic nematode Ascaris suum. Many studies have show...

Mechanical Properties of Teeth Restored after Selective Caries Excavation. Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
