Present investigation involves the development of a bi-layer dressing of gelatin nanofibrous mat loaded with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)/poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel and its in-vivo evaluation on full-thickness excision wounds in experimental Wistar ...

Phytochemicals preservation in strawberry as affected by pH modulation.

Food Chem. 170 , 74-83, (2014)

Strawberries purées are incorporated in foods and subjected to pH modulation according to the expected final food matrix. The effect of pH on strawberry polyphenols stored at 4 and 23 °C for 90 days was evaluated. Total antioxidant activity and total phenolic...

Pine bark and green tea concentrated extracts: antioxidant activity and comprehensive characterization of bioactive compounds by HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS.

Int. J. Mol. Sci. 15(11) , 20382-402, (2014)

The consumption of polyphenols has frequently been associated with low incidence of degenerative diseases. Most of these natural antioxidants come from fruits, vegetables, spices, grains and herbs. For this reason, there has been increasing interest in identi...

Investigating the potential of under-utilised plants from the Asteraceae family as a source of natural antimicrobial and antioxidant extracts.

Food Chem. 161 , 79-86, (2014)

Antimicrobial properties of ethanol and water extracts from eight Asteraceae species were investigated against three Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA and Bacillus cereus) and two Gram negative (Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium) bacterial ...

Curcumin and epigallocatechin gallate inhibit the cancer stem cell phenotype via down-regulation of STAT3-NFκB signaling.

Anticancer Res. 35(1) , 39-46, (2015)

The cancer stem cell (CSC) model postulates the existence of a small proportion of cancer cells capable of sustaining tumor formation, self-renewal and differentiation. Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling is known to be select...

Curcumin inhibits TGFβ1-induced CCN2 via Src, JNK, and Smad3 in gingiva.

J. Dent. Res. 92(7) , 629-34, (2013)

Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) is a key regulator associated with the pathogenesis of gingival overgrowth (GO). Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) is overexpressed in GO tissues. CCN2 promotes and sustains fibrosis initiated by TGFβ. Previous st...
