background: a growing body of preclinical data indicates that statins may possess antineoplastic properties however, some studies have raised the possibility that statins may also have carcinogenic potential. methods: an air pouch model was used for angiogenesis. single or multiple applications of croton oil on the back of swiss albino mice with or without initiation by dimethylbenz(a)antherace...

background: trichophyton verrucosum is a zoophilic fungus with a worldwide distribution. our aim was to investigate the proliferative effect of antigenic compounds of t. verrucosum on dermis fibro blasts and endothelial cells. methods: t. verrucosum was cultured in scc medium and was then transferred to a broth medium. surface antigens of this fungus were separated using the freeze and thaw met...

background: despite major progress in our general knowledge related to the application of adult stem cells, finding alternative sources for bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) has remained to be challenged. in this study successful isolation, multilineage differentiation, and proliferation potentials of sheep mscs derived from bone marrow, adipose tissue, and liver were widely investigate...

Treatment with testosterone increases proliferation of influenza virus as well as protein anabolism. A relative lack of testosterone caused by castration is associated with a diminished rate of virus growth. When protein catabolism is increased by ACTH or cortisone, the rate of virus proliferation decreases. These results suggest the existence of a correlation between alterations of protein met...

The influence of explant nodal positions on the in vitro shoot growth and proliferation were studied in the two rose cvs. ‘Bianca’ and ‘El Torro’. Third, fourth and fifth nodal explants were cultured on the modified MS medium supplemented with 1.0 and 5.0 mg/l BA. In both the cultivars, higher rate of proliferation (‘Bianca’ 3.75; ‘El Torro’ 2.65) were obtained from the explants distal to the a...
