Studying and Characterization of Coating of Zein–CaSiO3 Composite on Polyetheretherketone Implant Material by Sama Abdulrazzaq, Thekra Ismael Hamad

“…Each group was characterized by atomic force microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, water contact angle, and adhesion strength. The lowest water contact angle was obtained for Group 1: 10% wt and 90% wt were (26.64° and 27.13°, respectively), and increasing amounts of zein in comparison to quantities of CaSiO3 resulted in increased adhesion strength of the composite material to the substrate. …”

Microvesicles produced by natural killer cells of the NK-92 cell line affect the phenotype and functions of endothelial cells of the EA.Hy926 cell line by K. L. Markova, V. A. Mikhailova, A. V. Korenevsky, Yu. P. Milyutina, V. V. Rodygina, E. P. Aleksandrova, A. S. Markov, O. A. Balabas, S. A. Selkov, D. I. Sokolov

“…The results revealed significant differences in the proteomic profiles of cells of the NK-92 cell line and their MV product. Contact between ECs and MVs derived from cells of the NK-92 cell line is accompanied by the following events: a) expression of granzyme B in ECs, b) activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3, with partial EC death, c) appearance of the panleukocyte marker CD45 on ECs, d) decrease in CD105 expression, and increase in CD34 and CD54 expression, and e) inhibition of EC migration. …”
