To this end, supramolecular chemistry offers an exciting opportunity to grow such materials from the bottom-up using molecules and processes found in nature. However, the ability to transform molecular and nano-scale design into functional devices with practical utility at the macroscale remains a challenge. The talk will describe new strategies that integrate supramolecular chemistry with engineering principles to develop practical materials capable of acquiring hierarchical organization, being bioactive, growing, and exhibiting tuneable mechanical properties. These materials are being used towards new regenerative therapies of tissues such as enamel, bone, and blood vessels as well as more biologically relevant in vitro models for applications such as cancer and neurological disorders. 5 POLYMER FIBERS-BASED ELECTROSPUN SCAFFOLDS FOR NEURAL TISSUE ENGINEERING Jean-François GERARD* Co-authors: L. CHAVEZ LINS*, A. HIDALGO IDALBA ANDREINA*, F. WIANNY**, C. DEHAY**, J. DUCHET* (*) Ingénierie des Matériaux Polymères - UMR 5223 CNRS Université de Lyon - INSA Lyon / F69621- Villeurbanne (France) (**) Stem Cell & Brain Research Institute - U1208 INSERM Université de Lyon - Université Lyon 1 / F69500 – Bron (France) Electrospinning process is one of the most promising routes for the design and development of smart textiles based on polymer nanofibers. From a proper selection of the electrospining process parameters and polymers, (multi)functional textiles could be proposed. In this lecture, we will show how biobased polymers, such as PLA-based, and biodegradable polymers, such as PBAT, can be used to prepare electrospun scaffolds. In the first part, electrospinning is applied to neat polylactic acid (PLA) and to PLA-based blends, i.e. PLA/polyethylene glycol-b-polylactic acid block copolymers and PLA/PEG homopolymer. Electrospun membranes exhibit fibers having diameters from 110 to 310 nm depending on the composition and large amounts of porosity (about 80% vol.) which are required for cell culture application. In vitro degradation, as well as the hydrophilicity of the electrospun scaffolds, can be finely tuned from material composition. Fluorescence microscopy shows that the PLA electrospun fibers based scaffolds are good candidates for the survival and proliferation of neural stem cells. Even if the introduction of hydrophilic segments, i.e. polyethylene glycol from PLA-b-PEG block copolymer, leads to the the same level of proliferation than PLA-based membranes, the PLA/PLA-b-PEG electrospun membranes exhibited the suitable hydrolytic degradation required for implantable scaffolds. The second part deals with the development of biodegradable PBAT electrospun membranes with potential applications in the field of smart textiles. As mentioned previously, the fiber morphology is strongly dependent on the tip-collector distance, concentration, and applied voltage. Smooth fibers and beads free membranes could be prepared and analyzed to establish morphology-properties relationships. PBAT membranes having the best thermal and mechanical properties were selected as host of a curli protein which is able to complex heavy metals. In fact, by electrospinning, porous membranes exhibiting a large surface-to-volume ratio could be proposed for chelation of pollutants such as nickel.

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a major physiological regulatory pathway controlling salt-water equilibrium, intravascular volume and blood pressure. We will present that the RAS has both oncogenic and tumour suppressor functions in melanoma. Furthermore, we will indicate that pharmacological inhibition of AT2R may provide therapeutic opportunities in melanomas expressing this receptor and AGTR1 CpG island methylation in serum may serve as a novel biomarker of metastatic melanoma. Furthermore, we will highlight several prodrugs and formulates that we have developed as potent anticancer agents. 7 Yeast as Oxidation-Reduction Cell Factories: From Whole Cells to Stereospecific Enzymes Anju Chadha*1,2, Vinay Kumar K1, Uma Mahesh M.V.N1, Jerrina J.P1, Leena K1, Archana

ABSTRACT OF THESIS CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYPHENOL OXIDASE AND ANTIOXIDANTS FROM PAWPAW (ASIMINA TRIBOLA) FRUIT Crude polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was extracted from pawpaw (Asimina triloba) fruit. The enzyme exhibited a maximum activity at pH 6.5–7.0 and 5–20 °C, and had -1 a maximum catalysis rate (Vmax) of 0.1363 s and a reaction constant (Km) of 0.3266 M. It was almost completely inactivated when incubated at 80 °C for 10 min. Two isoforms of PPO (MW 28.2 and 38.3 kDa) were identified by Sephadex gel filtration chromatography and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Both the concentration and the total activity of the two isoforms differed (P < 0.05) between seven genotypes of pawpaw tested. Thermal stability (92 °C, 1–5 min) and colorimetry (L* a* b*) analyses showed significant variations between genotypes.

    3. Methodology

    3. METHODOLOGY The present study focused on the responses evoked by B. monnieri under conditions of oxidative stress. The plan of work and the methodology adopted are presented in this chapter. The work was carried out in four phases. In Phase I, different parts of B. monnieri , namely leaves, stolon and roots, were assessed for their antioxidant potential and free radical scavenging activity. The biomolecular protective effects and the apoptosis- modulating effects of the leaf extract in cell free and in vitro systems were studied in Phase II. Phase III involved assessing the antioxidant status in precision-cut liver slices exposed to oxidative stress and confirming the results in experimental animals. In the final phase of the study, phytochemical analysis of the active component in B. monnieri leaves was carried out. The layout of the study is presented below. PHASE I In this phase, the antioxidant status in different parts of B. monnieri was assessed. The leaves, stolon and roots of the plantlets were collected from the plants grown in pots in the University campus. They were washed thoroughly in running tap water in order to remove any dirt or soil particles adhered and blotted gently between folds of tissue paper to remove any water droplets. Both enzymic and non-enzymic antioxidants were analysed in all the three parts of the plant. ENZYMIC ANTIOXIDANTS The enzymic antioxidants analyzed in the parts of B. monnieri w ere superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase and polyphenol oxidase. ASSAY OF SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE (SOD) SOD was assayed according to the method of Kakkar et al.

Mayer Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 91904, Israel Received 3 June 2006; received in revised form 22 July 2006 Available online 14 September 2006 Abstract The more recent reports on polyphenol oxidase in plants and fungi are reviewed. The main aspects considered are the structure, dis- tribution, location and properties of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) as well as newly discovered inhibitors of the enzyme. Particular stress is given to the possible function of the enzyme. The cloning and characterization of a large number of PPOs is surveyed. Although the active site of the enzyme is conserved, the amino acid sequence shows very considerable variability among species. Most plants and fungi PPO have multiple forms of PPO. Expression of the genes coding for the enzyme is tissue specific and also developmentally controlled. Many inhibitors of PPO have been described, which belong to very diverse chemical structures; however, their usefulness for controlling PPO activity remains in doubt. The function of PPO still remains enigmatic. In plants the positive correlation between levels of PPO and the resistance to pathogens and herbivores is frequently observed, but convincing proof of a causal relationship, in most cases, still has not been published. Evidence for the induction of PPO in plants, particularly under conditions of stress and pathogen attack is consid- ered, including the role of jasmonate in the induction process. A clear role of PPO in a least two biosynthetic processes has been clearly demonstrated.

Kosanić and Branislav R. Ranković University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Science, Department of Biology and Ecology St. Radoje Domanović 12, 34 000 Kragujevac, Republic of Serbia *Corresponding author; E-mail: [email protected] (Received March 29th, 2019; Accepted April 30th, 2019) ABSTRACT. The purpose of this paper was discovering the diversity of macromycetes in the territory of Batočina (Serbia). Field studies, which lasted more than a year, revealed the presence of 200 species of macromycetes. The identified species belong to phyla Basidiomycota (191 species) and Ascomycota (9 species). The biggest number of registered species (100 species) was from the order Agaricales. Among the identified species was one strictly protected – Phallus hadriani and seven protected species: Amanita caesarea, Marasmius oreades, Cantharellus cibarius, Craterellus cornucopia- odes, Tuber aestivum, Russula cyanoxantha and R. virescens; also, several rare and endangered species of Serbia. This paper is a contribution to the knowledge of the diversity of macromycetes not only in the territory of Batočina, but in Serbia, in general. Keywords: Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Batočina, the diversity of macromycetes. INTRODUCTION Fungi represent one of the most diverse and widespread group of organisms in terrestrial ecosystems, but, despite that fact, their diversity remains highly unexplored. Until recently it was considered that there are 1.6 million species of fungi, from which only something around 100 000 were described (KIRK et al., 2001), while data from 2017 lists 120000 identified species, which is still a slight number (HAWKSWORTH and LÜCKING, 2017).

In the intervening 30 years, new (88.8 %). We hope that this updated checklist will inspire species, new combinations, and new records of polypores future studies in the polypore mycota of North America and were reported from North America. As a result, an updated contribute to the diversity and systematics of polypores checklist of North American polypores is needed to reflect the worldwide. polypore diversity in there. We recognize 492 species of polypores from 146 genera in North America. Of these, 232 Keywords Basidiomycota . Phylogeny . Taxonomy . species are unchanged from Gilbertson and Ryvarden’smono- Wood-decaying fungus graph, and 175 species required name or authority changes.
