Bio-Oss® and α-calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) are involved in osteogenesis. However, it has remained to be assessed how α-CGRP affects the effect of Bio-Oss. In the present study, primary osteoblasts were incubated with α-CGRP, Bio-Oss, α-GGRP-Bio-Oss or mimic-α-CGRP. The proliferation rate, mineralization nodules, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and the expression of osteogenic gen...

Most bituminous adhesives or binders that are used for pavement materials are derived mainly from fossil fuels. Due to the availability of large quantities of biorenewable sources such as triglyceride oils, proteins, starch, and other carbohydrates from different organic sources, there are virtuous technical and economic prospects in utilizing them to produce bio-binders. Recently, through the ...

damping-off disease of cucumber caused by soil-born fungi pythium aphanidermatum is one of the most destructive diseases of cucumber. in this research, the effect of three bio-fertilizers including; nitroxin, mycorrhiza and vermicompost in single and combined form on induced resistance and yield components in greenhouse cucumber (es-2862) infected with damping-off disease was investigated. thes...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of accell connexus(®) on the quality and rate of healing in experimental defects of rabbit calvarium compared to bio-oss®.twelve 2.5-3.5 kg weighing new zealand white rabbits were used. three defects (3×6 mm) were created in the cranium of the animals subsequently filled with accell connexus(®), bio-oss® or served as controls. the animals w...

background: hyaline cartilage defects exhibit a major challenge in the field of orthopedic surgery owing to its limited repair capacity. on the other hand, mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are regarded as potent cells with a property of cartilage regeneration. we aimed to optimize marrow-derived msc chondrogenic culture using a small bioactive molecule referred to as bio. methods: mscs from the ma...

A pyrolysis study on a species of brown algae Saccharina japonica was carried out in a fixed-bed reactor. The yields of bio-oil and bio-char obtained at 450 C were 47 % and 33 %, respectively. The raw S, japonica, ethanol and acid pretreated samples and the resulting pyrolysis products were also characterized with respect to proximate and ultimate analysis, and higher heating value. The crude b...

to study the effects of biological and manure fertilizer on quantity and quality characteristics of roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa l.), an experiment was conducted as split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research center of zabol university, iran during growing season of 2012-2013. treatments included three manure level; 0, 10 and 20 t....
