Dynamics of Polyphenol Biosynthesis by Calli Cultures, Suspension Cultures and Wild Specimens of the Medicinal Plant (Ruiz & Pav.) Tiegh. (Loranthaceae). Analysis of Their Biological Activity
Ricco M, Bari M, Catalano A, Lopez P, Dobrecky C, Teves S, et al.
Plants (Basel) . 2021 Aug; 10(8). PMID: 34451763
(R. et P.) Tiegh. (Loranthaceae) is a South American hemiparasitic species with antioxidant, antitumoral, antimicrobial, and antilipidemic activities attributed to its polyphenolic content. We studied the polyphenolic pattern of during...

Plant Hsp90 proteins interact with B-cells and stimulate their proliferation
Corigliano M, Maglioco A, Laguia Becher M, Goldman A, Martin V, Angel S, et al.
PLoS One . 2011 Jun; 6(6):e21231. PMID: 21701588
Background: The molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) plays an important role in folding stabilization and activation of client proteins. Besides, Hsp90 of mammals and mammalian pathogens displays immunostimulatory...

Efficient expression of a Toxoplasma gondii dense granule Gra4 antigen in tobacco leaves
Ferraro G, Laguia Becher M, Angel S, Zelada A, Mentaberry A, Clemente M
Exp Parasitol . 2008 Jul; 120(1):118-22. PMID: 18588877
A His-tagged truncated version of Toxoplasma gondii dense granule 4 protein (Gra4(163-345)) was transiently expressed in tobacco leaves. Two genetic constructions were used to accomplish this goal. In one of...
