preconditioning (pc), is an approach to improve therapeutic potential of stem cells against ischemic environment. pc has several advantages over other therapeutic techniques as this results in increase of transplanted stem cells recruitment, retention, survival and subsequently the induction of a more supportive environment within the damaged tissue via secretion of angiogenic factors. special ...

pancreatic cancer (pc) is a progressive, fatal disease with a high degree of malignancy. more than 40000 peoplediefrom this cancer annually in the united states. as a multifactorial condition, pc has a complex nature, and there are several genes and signalingpathwaysimplicated in pc pathogenesis and progression. there are diffèrent mutations in master genesincludingtumorsuppressors and oncogene...

thin film phthalocyanines(pc), incloding zinc, iron, and magnesium phthalocyani-nes, were prepared by vacuum deposition method. chronocoulometry was used to study the charge transfer reaction mechanism of ionic species through the thin films. the results obtained in chronocoulometric studies shows that the thin film phthalocyanines could operate via two mechanisms.the first mechanism metal pc t...

introduction: candida albicans (ca) is by far the most common yeast of oral infections, including endodontic infections. the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the antifungal effect of white-colored mineral trioxide aggregate (wmta) and portland cement (pc) using a tube-dilution test. materials and methods: wmta and pc were tested freshly mixed and after 24 h. the experiment was perf...

the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of principal components (pc) of the regression coefficients (co)variance matrix on the lactation curve, and on the formation of selection index to modify the curve, based on these pc’s, and as well to estimate additive genetic and phenotypic variances and heritability of the constructed selection index. lactation period of 301 d (5-305) ...

background: prostate specific antigen (psa) has been used as a screening test for the early detection of prostate cancer (pc) for many years. although the introduction of psa test led to a considerable increase in reported prostate cancer cases, there is still some controversy over the sensitivity and specificity of this marker in distinguishing pc patients from those with benign prostate hyper...

Preconditioning (PC) as a protective strategy against noxious insults can decline cell death and apoptosis. It has been approved that mitochondria play a key role in PC mechanism. The critical role of complex I (CI) in oxidative phosphorylation machinery and intracellular ROS production, particularly in the brain, accentuates its possible role in PC-induced neuroprotection. Here, differentiated...
