background: the exposure of cell lines to low-dose irradiation leads to changes at molecular level, which may induce adaptive response. we examined radio-adaptive doses effect on human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (ht29) and human fetal fibroblasts (mrc5) cell line followed by hyper and hypo fractionation regimes, with main purpose to decrease cell viability in ht29, and at the same time...

Herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1) and 2 (HSV-2) are members of the Herpesviridae family. About 40% to 80% of the world populations are infected with HSV and its prevalence is high in Iran. The high prevalence of this virus in the community and the ability of the virus in causing fatal diseases among immunocompromised patients, have encouraged studies to be performed on HSV and suitable cell ...

Background: Lactoferrin (Lf) is a glycoprotein, a member of the transferrin family.From ten known mechanisms of anti-cancer chemoperotecive compounds, Lf alone, has six of these functions and inhibits cancer. In this study, the effect of lactoferrin purified from bovine colostrum was studied as an anti-cancer agent on esophageal cancer cell line. Materials and Methods: Bovine colostrum were ...

background: ß-carbolines, harmaline and harmine, are the major alkaloids presenting in the seeds of the peganum harmala l. these alkaloids are known as herbal active principals with potential use in pharmaceutical and medicine. objectives: to assess the growth inhibitory effect of phyto-alkaloids, harmaline and harmine, on cancer cell lines. methods: the p. harmala l.’s alkaloids were extracted...
