BACKGROUND: Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a component of green tea catechin with
the strongest biological activity, has been focused in recent years because of its anti …

The neonatal immune environment and the events that occur during this time have profound
effects for the adult period. While protective immune responses can develop, the neonatal …

Yersinia enterocolitica (Ye) targets mouse dendritic cells (DCs) and inhibits their ability to
trigger T cell activation. Here we have investigated whether Ye might interfere with antigen …

It has previously been shown that expression of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV) E7 in
epidermis causes hyperplasia and chronic inflammation, characteristics of pre-malignant …

The impermeability of the cell plasma membrane is one of the major barriers for protein
transduction into mammalian cells, and it also limits the use of proteins as therapeutic …

Background Skin develops through a process of epidermal proliferation, maturation, and
remodelling of the epidermis and dermis. This period also involves the maturation of the skin …

Basic peptides with vector abilities, so called cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), have been
reported to enter cells, carrying cargoes ranging from oligonucleotides and proteins to …

To test whether reduced immune responsiveness in early life may be related to the
immaturity of neonatal antigen-presenting cells, we comparatively assessed the phenotypic …

The biotin-attached G8 molecular transporter (5) was synthesized and used together with
quantum dots in preparing the complexes (QD-MT). The QD-MT complexes were studied in …
