Introduction: Hemostasis mechanism involves blood coagulation as one of the step which is responsible for clot formation that restricts flow at site injury. By inhibiting cascade and reducing thrombus formation, several cardiovascular diseases (CVD) atherosclerosis can be prevented. Traditionally, Fagonia olivieri (zygophyllaceae) reported in treatment diabetes, coughs, purifier, cooling agent,...

The technology of three-dimensional (3D) printing, also referred to as ‘‘rapid prototyping,’’ ‘‘additive manufacturing,’’ and ‘‘stereolithography,’’ refers to the process of converting a 3D computerized model into an actual physical object. This technology became a reality in 1986 as a result of the innovative thinking of inventor Charles Hull (US patent no. 4575330). Currently the ‘‘entry-leve...

Gentiana macrophylla, a medicinal plant with significant pharmacological properties, contains the bioactive compound gentiopicroside. Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is an effective elicitor for enhancing the production of such compounds. However, little is known about MeJA-mediated biosynthesis of gentiopicroside. We investigated this phenomenon as well as gene expression profiles to determine the mol...

Gentiana pneumonanthe L. (fam. Gentianaceae) is a herbaceous perennial growing on wet heathlands, grasslands and hay meadows of Europe and Asia. Like other Gentiana species, G. pneumonanthe is characterized by the production of bitter secoiridoid glycosides (SGs) widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. Hairy roots (HRs) of G. pneumonanthe, as an alternative source of these phytochemicals, h...
