Uptake and intracellular fate of peptide surface-functionalized silica hybrid magnetic nanoparticles in vitro

Digigow, Reinaldo G. ; Vanhecke, Dimitri ; Rothen-Rutishauser, Barbara ; Clift, Martin J.D. ; Petri-Fink, Alke

Recently, the use of nanomaterials as intracellular targeting tools for theranostics has gained heightened interest. Despite the clear advantages posed by surface-functionalized nanoparticles (NPs) in this regard, limited understanding currently exists due to difficulties in reliably synthesizing NPs with surface functionalizations adequate for use in such applications, as well as the manner of...

Anthropogenic disturbance as a driver of microspatial and microhabitat segregation of cytotypes of Centaurea stoebe and cytotype interactions in secondary contact zones

Mráz, Patrik ; Španiel, Stanislav ; Keller, Andreas ; Bowmann, Gillianne ; Farkas, Alexandre ; Šingliarová, Barbora ; Rohr, Rudolf P. ; Broennimann, Olivier ; Müller-Schärer, Heinz

In: Annals of Botany, 2012, p. -

Background and Aims: In a mixed-ploidy population, strong frequency-dependent mating will lead to the elimination of the less common cytotype, unless prezygotic barriers enhance assortative mating. However, such barriers favouring cytotype coexistence have only rarely been explored. Here, an assessment is made of the mechanisms involved in formation of mixed-ploidy populations and coexistence...

Polyploidy in phenotypic space and invasion context: a morphometric study of Centraurea stoebe s.l.

Mráz, Patrik ; Bourchier, Robert S. ; Treier, Urs A. ; Schaffner, Urs ; Müller-Schärer, Heinz

In: International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2011, vol. 172, no. 3, p. 386-402

The taxonomy of the Centaurea stoebe complex is controversial. Diploid and tetraploid plants occur in its native European range, but to date only tetraploids have been recorded from its introduced range in North America. We examined morphological differentiation of C. stoebe using multivariate and univariate approaches to clarify the taxonomic status of the known cytotypes. We measured more...
