conclusions our findings indicate that umbelliprenin exhibits concentration-dependent inhibitory effects on various cell types; it is potentially toxic against the ht29, ct26, mcf-7, 4t1, a172, and gl26 cell lines, potentially harmful against bmdscs, and non-toxic against pbmcs. therefore, if our results are approved in the future, umbelliprenin can be an appropriate candidate for developing tr...

background and objectives: pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that can produce biofilm. biofilm is a complex, three dimensional structure in which microorganisms are attached to a surface and embedded in a matrix made of extracellular polymers. due to high resistance to antimicrobial agents, biofilms create difficulties in various situations in healthcare. in this study, antibi...

Using a set of heterogeneous competing systems with intra-system cooperation and inter-system unfair competition, we show how the coevolution of the system parameters (degree of cooperation and unfair competition) depends on the external supply of resources. This kind of interaction is found in social, economic, ecological and biochemical systems; as an illustration we consider the competition ...

biomarkers are assigned as early warning systems regarding aquatic organisms exposed to pollutants. among which, however, measurement of esterase enzymes activity specially cholinesterase of fish tissues, is a marker for exposure to organophosphate pesticide and carbamates, and this biomarker has been used widely in broad range of investigations. a number of capoeta capoeta gracilis (:cyprinida...

development of phytotherapies aimed at angiogenesis inhibition, in combination with classical anti-cancer therapies, is among the most intensively studied approaches for treatment of cancer. epidemiological and animal studies have indicated that consumption of allium species like shallot is associated with a reduced risk of cancer development. as a continuation of our efforts to study and chara...
