Achilles, a new family of transcriptionally active retrotransposons from the olive fruit fly, with y chromosome preferential distribution
(2015)Sex chromosomes have many unusual features relative to autosomes. The in depth exploration of their structure will improve our understanding of their origin and divergence (degeneration) as well as the evolution of genetic ... -
ACOS syndrome: Single disease entity or not? Could exhaled nitric oxide be a useful biomarker for the differentiation of ACOS, asthma and COPD?
(2016)Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represent two major public health problems. However, there is a significant proportion of patients with a mixed asthma-COPD phenotype. This condition is defined as ... -
Activation of general control nonderepressible-2 kinase ameliorates glucotoxicity in human peritoneal mesothelial cells, preserves their integrity, and prevents mesothelial to mesenchymal transition
(2019)Along with infections, ultrafiltration failure due to the toxicity of glucose-containing peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions is the Achilles’ heel of PD method. Triggered by the protective effect of general control ... -
Affinity Crystallography Reveals Binding of Pomegranate Juice Anthocyanins at the Inhibitor Site of Glycogen Phosphorylase: The Contribution of a Sugar Moiety to Potency and Its Implications to the Binding Mode
(2020)Anthocyanins (ACNs) are dietary phytochemicals with an acknowledged therapeutic significance. Pomegranate juice (PJ) is a rich source of ACNs with potential applications in nutraceutical development. Glycogen phosphorylase ... -
Affinity crystallography reveals the bioactive compounds of industrial juicing byproducts of Punica granatum for glycogen phosphorylase
(2018)Background: Glycogen phosphorylase (GP) is a pharmaceutical target for the discovery of new antihyperglycaemic agents. Punica granatum is a well-known plant for its potent antioxidant and antimicrobial activities but so ... -
Agri-Food Surplus, Waste and Loss as Sustainable Biobased Ingredients: A Review
(2022)Ensuring a sustainable supply of food for the world’s fast growing population is a major challenge in today’s economy, as modern lifestyle and increasing consumer concern with maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet is ... -
Aldehyde levels in e-cigarette aerosol: Findings from a replication study and from use of a new-generation device
(2018)Purpose A recent study identified high aldehyde emissions from e-cigarettes (ECs), that when converted to reasonable daily human EC liquid consumption, 5 g/day, gave formaldehyde exposure equivalent to 604–3257 tobacco ... -
Almond and walnut shell-derived biochars affect sorption-desorption, fractionation, and release of phosphorus in two different soils
(2020)Effective soil phosphorus (P) management requires higher level of knowledge concerning its sorption-desorption, fractionation, and release, as well as its interactions with soil amendments including biochar (BC). The purpose ... -
Annonacin promotes selective cancer cell death via NKA-dependent and SERCA-dependent pathways
(2018)In the healthcare sector, phytocompounds are known to be beneficial by contributing or alleviating a variety of diseases. Studies have demonstrated the progressive effects of phytocompounds on immune-related diseases and ... -
Anthocyanin-rich extracts from purple and red potatoes as natural colourants: Bioactive properties, application in a soft drink formulation and sensory analysis
(2021)Aqueous extracts from seven coloured potato varieties (three red-fleshed, three-purple fleshed, and one marble-fleshed) were studied for their anthocyanin content, in vitro biological activities, colouring properties and ... -
Anti-angiogenic effect of a Palladium(II)-Saccharinate Complex of Terpyridine in vitro and in vivo
(2017)Anti-angiogenic activity of palladium (Pd)(II)-based complexes is unknown despite their quite powerful anticancer activity. This study was therefore carried out to evaluate both in vivo anti-angiogenic effect and in vitro ... -
Antibacterial and antioxidant activity of different types of honey derived from Mount Olympus in Greece
(2018)The aim of the present study was to examine the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of 21 types of honey derived from Mount Olympus (Mt. Olympus), a region with great plant biodiversity. The antibacterial activity was ... -
Antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of various Greek garlic genotypes
(2018)Recent studies show a significant variation in antioxidant and antimicrobial properties between the various garlic genotypes mostly due to differences in chemical composition and bioactive compounds content. The aim of the ... -
Antimicrobial properties of lyophilized extracts of olive fruit, pomegranate and orange peel extracts against foodborne pathogenic and spoilage bacteria and fungi in vitro and in food matrices
(2021)Several novel antimicrobials with different concentrations of olive, pomegranate, and orange fruit pulp extracts were produced from agricultural byproducts and, after lyophilization, their antimicrobial activity and potential ... -
Applications of natural zeolites on agriculture and food production
(2017)Zeolites are crystalline hydrated aluminosilicates with remarkable physical and chemical properties, which include losing and receiving water in a reverse way, adsorbing molecules that act as molecular sieves, and replacing ... -
Aqueous Solubility Enhancement for Bioassays of Insoluble Inhibitors and QSPR Analysis: A TNF-α Study
(2018)The aim of this study is to improve the aqueous solubility of a group of compounds without interfering with their bioassay as well as to create a relevant prediction model. A series of 55 potential small-molecule inhibitors ... -
