1. Incidence of virulence determinants in clinical Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium isolates collected in Bulgaria
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the prevalence of some virulence genes among 510 clinical Enterococcus spp. isolates and to assess the association of those genes with the species, infection site, and patient group (inpatients/outpatients). Methods Adhesins genes (aggregation substances agg and asa1 of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium, respect

2. Brazilian minipig as a large-animal model for basic research and stem cell-based tissue engineering. Characterization and in vitro differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells
Stem cell-based regenerative medicine is one of the most intensively researched medical issues. Pre-clinical studies in a large-animal model, especially in swine or miniature pigs, are highly relevant to human applications. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been isolated and expanded from different sources. Objective: This study aimed at isolating and char

3. Expressão dos fenótipos fibroblástico e osteoblástico em culturas tridimensionais na presença de partículas de vidro bioativo / Osteoblastic and fibroblastic phenotypes expression on three dimensional cell cultures in the presence of bioactive glass particles
O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a expressão dos fenótipos fibroblástico e osteoblástico em culturas tridimensionais na presença ou não de partículas de vidro bioativo. Fibroblastos derivados do ligamento periodontal humano (hPDLF) e células osteogênicas da calvária de rato recém-nascidos foram plaqueadas em superfícies bidimensionais - lamí

4. Mycobacterial laminin-binding histone-like protein mediates collagen-dependent cytoadherence
When grown in the presence of exogenous collagen I, Mycobacterium bovis BCG was shown to form clumps. Scanning electron microscopy examination of these clumps revealed the presence of collagen fibres cross-linking the bacilli. Since collagen is a major constituent of the eukaryotic extracellular matrices, we assayed BCG cytoadherence in the presence of exoge

5. cDNA cloning, expression and characterization of a Boophilus microplus paramyosin.
The tick Boophilus microplus is a 1-host tick that causes important losses to bovine herds, and protective antigens are being investigated in order to develop vaccines that avoid the use of acaricides. Paramyosins are multi-functional invertebrate muscle proteins, whose roles may include host immunomodulation, and seem to be a prominent candidate in a schist

6. The role of Aae in mediating adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins and its influence on hydrophobic properties and biofilm formation by Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. / O papel de Aae na adesão às proteínas de matriz extracelular e sua influência nas propriedades hidrofóbicas e formação de biofilme por Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans.
The gram-negative organism Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, associated with aggressive periodontitis, colonizes the oral cavity by binding to and invading epithelial cells and by participating in biofilms formed in host surfaces. A. actinomycetemcomitans express Aae, a surface protein, implicated in the adhesion to epithelial cells. This study evaluate

7. Caracterizações biológicas das proteínas LipL32 e HlyX de Leptospira interrogans sorovar Copenhageni. / Biology characterizations of LipL32 and HlyX proteins of Leptospira interrogans sorovar Copenhageni.
Leptospirosis, a spirochaetal zoonotic disease caused by Leptospira, has been recognized as na important emerging infectious disease. LipL32 is a surface lipoprotein which is highly conserved among pathogenic Leptospira species and is also expressed at high levels either during cultivation and natural infection. Regarding HlyX, it has been annotated as a pro

8. Alternagin-C, a disintegrin-like protein from the venom of Bothrops alternatus, modulates alpha2ß1 integrin-mediated cell adhesion, migration and proliferation
The alpha2ß1 integrin is a major collagen receptor that plays an essential role in the adhesion of normal and tumor cells to the extracellular matrix. Alternagin-C (ALT-C), a disintegrin-like protein purified from the venom of the Brazilian snake Bothrops alternatus, competitively interacts with the alpha2ß1 integrin, thereby inhibiting collagen binding.

9. Caracterização de disintegrinas de venenos viperídeos como ferramentas seletivas na detecção ou inibição da função de integrinas / Characterization of viper venom disintegrins as tools for detecting and inhibiting integrin function
Integrins are membrane proteins involved in biological processes such as embriogenesis, inflammation and platelet aggregation. The alteration of their expression pattem is related to pathological disorders such as thrombosis and cancer, making integrins suitable indicators of the progression of these diseases. Thus, the α2β1 integrin, which is expr

10. Estudo dos efeitos da polpa de laranja sobre paramentros fisiologicos, nutricionais, bioquimicos e morfologicos em ratos normais e diabeticos
The chemical composition and some physico-chemical characteristics of orange pulp, a by-product obtained during the industrial production of the orange-juice, were determined. Among these, the particle size distribution was found to be 8.9%, 52.8% and 38.3% for particle sizes larger than 800 µm, between 200 and 500 µm and smaller than 200 µm, respectively

11. Identification of Collagen-Binding Proteins in Lactobacillus spp. with Surface-Enhanced Laser Desorption/Ionization–Time of Flight ProteinChip Technology
Biosurfactants produced by Lactobacillus fermentum RC-14, L. rhamnosus GR-1 and 36, and L. casei Shirota were found to contain proteins that bind to both collagen types III and VI, as determined by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization (SELDI)–time of flight mass spectrometry. Both collagen types III and VI immobilized on SELDI preactivated ProteinC

12. Rheumatic fever–associated Streptococcus pyogenes isolates aggregate collagen
Acute rheumatic fever is a serious autoimmune sequel of Streptococcus pyogenes infection. This study shows that serotype M3 and M18 S. pyogenes isolated during outbreaks of rheumatic fever have the unique capability to bind and aggregate human basement membrane collagen type IV. M3 protein is identified as collagen-binding factor of M3 streptococci, whereas
