Zdybicka-Barabas A, Staczek S, Kunat-Budzynska M, Cytrynska M
Int J Mol Sci . 2025 Feb; 26(3). PMID: 39941087
Melanogenesis and melanin deposition are processes essential for the effective immune response of insects to various invaders. Phenoloxidase (PO), produced in specialized cells as an inactive precursor prophenoloxidase (proPO), is...

Janik S, Grela E, Staczek S, Zdybicka-Barabas A, Luchowski R, Gruszecki W, et al.
Molecules . 2023 Jun; 28(12). PMID: 37375242
Amphotericin B is a popular antifungal antibiotic, and despite decades of pharmacological application, the exact mode of its biological activity is still a matter of debate. Amphotericin B-silver hybrid nanoparticles...

Grela E, Staczek S, Nowak M, Pawlikowska-Pawlega B, Zdybicka-Barabas A, Janik S, et al.
J Phys Chem B . 2023 Apr; 127(16):3632-3640. PMID: 37071547
Amphotericin B (AmB) is a life-saving and widely used antifungal antibiotic, but its therapeutic applicability is limited due to severe side effects. Here, we report that the formulation of the...

Staczek S, Cytrynska M, Zdybicka-Barabas A
Int J Mol Sci . 2023 Mar; 24(6). PMID: 36982826
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are short, mainly positively charged, amphipathic molecules. AMPs are important effectors of the immune response in insects with a broad spectrum of antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic activity....

Trytek M, Buczek K, Zdybicka-Barabas A, Wojda I, Borsuk G, Cytrynska M, et al.
Sci Rep . 2022 Aug; 12(1):14406. PMID: 36002552
The intracellular microsporidian parasite Nosema ceranae is known to compromise bee health by induction of energetic stress and downregulation of the immune system. Porphyrins are candidate therapeutic agents for controlling...

Molecules . 2021 Aug; 26(16). PMID: 34443685
Recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by appropriate pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) is a key step in activating the host immune response. The role of a fungal PAMP is attributed...
