okadaic acid/dental caries

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are attracting substantial interest as artificial plastic antibodies because of their biometric capability for targeting small molecules. In this study, molecularly imprinted silica material-coated quantum dots (MIS-QDs) with selective recognition capability to

The polyether toxin, okadaic acid, causes diarrhetic shellfish poisoning in humans. Despite extensive research into its cellular targets using rodent models, we know little about its putative effect(s) on innate immunity. We inoculated larvae of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, with

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between Akt activity and retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death induced by N-Methyl-D-Aspartic acid (NMDA) in the rat retina. METHODS Two microlitres of 1, 10, 50, 100, or 200 mM NMDA, or vehicle was injected into the vitreous cavity of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats
