Project description:The goal of this study was to elucidate genes that are employed by the bacterivorous nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to respond to the emerging nosocomial bacterial pathogen Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
Project description:E. coli K12 cells (in 9 g/L NaCl) were irradiated with blue laser ligth (448 nm) for 5 s (310 J/cm2) or 20 s (1240 J/cm2) both with an intensity of 62 W/cm2 and the transcriptome was compared to that of unirradiated cells
Project description:Primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs, n=4) were exposed to low-magnitude pre-conditioning FSS (1.5 dynes/cm2) 18h using the Ibidi pump system followed by exposure to the arterial- (15 dynes/cm2) or venous-magnitude (1.5 dynes/cm2) FSS for 24h. Conditioned media was collected to analyse the effect of acute changes in the haemodynamic environment on the EC secretome.
Project description:To investigate the mechanism of radiation induced bystander effect, we explored miRNAs expression in supernatant of human skin fibroblasts after culturing for 24h post UV irradiation. Primary human skin fibroblasts were obtained from healthy volunteers by means of a foreskin circumcision. Human skin fibroblasts was irradiated with 20J/cm2 UVA or 60mJ/cm2 UVB. Expression of miRNAs were tested by microarray between radiation and control samples.
