In-situ chemical attenuation of pharmaceutically active compounds using CaO₂: influencing factors, mechanistic modeling, and cooperative inactivation of water-borne microbial patho... by Zheng, Ming, Gao, Bing, Zhang, Jie, El-Din, Mohamed Gamal, Snyder, Shane Allen, Wu, Minghong, Tang, Liang

“…The oxidability (18-64%) and alkalinity (82-36%) generated from CaO2 played vital roles in pathogen inactivation. In addition, CaO2 at 0.01-0.1 g L-1 can be applied in remediation of SW contaminated by PhACs and pathogenic bacteria, which can degrade target PhACs with efficiencies of 21-100% under 0.01 g L-1 CaO2, and inactivate 100% of test bacteria under 0.1 g L-1 CaO2. …”

Monocyte-derived extracellular vesicles, stimulated by Trypanosoma cruzi, enhance cellular invasion in vitro via activated TGF‐β1 by Ansa-Addo, Ephraim A., Pathak, Paras, McCrossan, Maria V., Volpato Rossi, Izadora, Abdullahi, Mahamed, Stratton, Dan, Lange, Sigrun, Ramirez, Marcel I., Inal, Jameel

“…That lEV release was equally inhibited if all entry from external sources was blocked by chelation of external Ca2+ points to the major contributor to Mtr‐triggered host cell lEV release being IP3/store‐mediated Ca2+ release, SICE playing a minor role. Host cell lEVs were released through Mtr interaction with host cell lipid raft domains, integrins, and mechanosensitive ion channels, whereupon [Ca2+]cyt increased (50 to 750 nM) within 15 s. lEV release and cell entry of T. cruzi, which increased up to 30 and 60 mpi, respectively, as well as raised actin depolymerization at 60 mpi, were all reduced by TRPC inhibitor, GsMTx‐4. …”
