Oberholzer, Hester Magdalena; Van der Schoor, Ciska; Taute, Helena; Bester, Megan Jean (Wiley, 2015-08)Exposure to drugs during pregnancy is a major concern, as some teratogenic compounds can influence normal foetal development. Although the use of drugs during pregnancy should generally be avoided, exposure of the ...

Taute, Helena; Bester, Megan Jean; Gaspar, Anabella Regina Marques (Wiley, 2019-04)Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), Os and Os‐C, have been identified as multifunctional peptides with antibacterial, antiendotoxin, and anti‐inflammatory properties. For further development of Os and Os‐C as therapeutic peptides, ...

Venter, Chantelle; Van der Merwe, Christiaan F.; Oberholzer, Hester Magdalena; Bester, Megan Jean; Taute, Helena (Wiley, 2013)Fixation of biological samples is an important process especially related to histological and ultrastructural studies. Chemical fixation was the primary method of fixing tissue for transmission electron microscopy for ...

Venter, Chantelle; Olivier, Anel; Taute, Helena; Oberholzer, Hester Magdalena (Taylor and Francis, 2020)The mining sector in South Africa is expected to be the fifth largest in the world. Both mining and transport are the most common reasons for an increased risk of human exposure to heavy metal contamination in South Africa. ...

Taute, Helena; Bester, Megan Jean; Neitz, Albert Walter Herman; Gaspar, Anabella Regina Marques (Elsevier, 2015-09)Os and Os-C are two novel antimicrobial peptides, derived from a tick defensin, which have been shown to have a larger range of antimicrobial activity than the parent peptide, OsDef2. The aim of this study was to determine ...

Arbi, Sandra; Eksteen, Ehren Cronje; Oberholzer, Hester Magdalena; Taute, Helena; Bester, Megan Jean (Taylor and Francis, 2015-04)Keloids are benign hyper-proliferative growths of fibrous tissue, where increased fibroblast activity results in abnormal collagen deposition. Excessive inflammation is a characteristic feature of keloids but little is ...

Prinsloo, Lezaan; Naidoo, Alex; Serem, June Cheptoo; Taute, Helena; Sayed, Yasien; Bester, Megan Jean; Neitz, Albert Walter Herman; Gaspar, Anabella Regina Marques (Wiley, 2013-05)Tick defensins may serve as templates for the development of multifunctional peptides. The purpose of this study was to evaluate shorter peptides derived from tick defensin isoform 2 (OsDef2) in terms of their antibacterial, ...

Maseko, P.B.; Van Rooy, Mia-Jeanne; Taute, Helena; Venter, C.; Serem, June Cheptoo; Oberholzer, Hester Magdalena (Sage, 2021)The distribution of metals across the environment is increasingly becoming a major concern as they not only pollute the environment but also pose a danger to humans and animals. Human exposure to heavy metals often occurs ...
