## Abstract We synthesized cationic random amphiphilic copolymers by radical copolymerization of methacrylate monomers with cationic or hydrophobic groups and evaluated their antimicrobial and hemolytic activities. The nature of the hydrophobic groups, and polymer composition and length were system
Folic acid prevents up to 70% of human neural tube defects (NTD), offering the possibility of effective primary prevention for these crippling birth defects. Recent studies with mouse models of NTD aimed to shed light on two unsolved problems of NTD prevention: 1) the mechanism of action of folic ac
As resistance increases against fungal antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides are receiving attention as possible replacements. The dermal glands of frogs secrete, among other things, antimicrobial peptides. As part of the innate immune system, stressors may affect the production of antimicrobial pepti
Due to the action of testicular hormones in the perinatal period, juvenile male rats engage in more play fighting than juvenile females. Also, following puberty, males, but not females, switch to using adultlike defensive tactics more frequently during play. This change in play is also due to the ac
The elective treatment of patients with multiple sclerosis, using a humanized anti-leukocyte (CD52) monoclonal antibody (Campath-1H), has illuminated mechanisms that underlie the clinical course of the disease. Twenty-seven patients were studied clinically and by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) bef
