The research groups of B3 – Biotechnology and F4 – Surface engineering both from Jozef Stefan Institute, Slovenia, published an interdisciplinary research study: Motaln H, Čerček U, Recek N, Bajc-Česnik A, Mozetič M, Rogelj B. Cold atmospheric plasma induces stress granule formation via eIF2α – dependent pathway, Biomaterials Science (IF 6.2). The article reveals triggering of complex mechanism of stress granule formation following exposure of neuroblastoma cells with streamers of gaseous plasma. Stochastically distributed streamers induce cellular stress response involving stress granule formation via various signaling pathways, of which one proved eIF2 dependent.
