Introduction: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a parasitic disease caused by Leishmania species. Currently accessible treatments remain insufficient, and there is pressure to develop suitable and effectual options. In this study, we used different concentrations of podophyllin in vitro on leishmania parasites and then on leishmaniasis lesions in mice and compared their efficacy. Method: We used ...

two separate factorial experiments were conducted to study the effects of explant sources, plant growth regulators, sucrose concentrations, and light conditions on in vitro cormlet formation of freesia (freesia ×hybrida bailey 'argenta'). interestingly, it was observed that the pupae had lower contamination levels compared to mother corms. using 40% sodium hypochlorite solution for 40 min, cont...

dog rose (rosa canina) has been using as a rootstock for ornamental roses also it is one of the medicinal plants. it can be propagated under in vitro conditions. after removing chilling requirement of buds, axillary wood buds of dog rose were cut in three nodal positions (lower, middle and terminal) on the stem and then explants after decontamination, cultured on murashige and skoog medium (ms ...

objective: cutaneous leishmaniasis is an endemic infectious disease considered to be a crucial health problem in many countries, including iran. as such, there is a need for new medications with few side effects. in the present research we have studied the effect of artimisinin on  leishmania major (l. major) and cell death in vitro. methods: a specific number of promastigotes of l. major were ...

background & aim: effects of ultra violet spectrum on plants due to their obligatory requirement for sunlight for survival are unavoidable. direct effects of uv on plant growth and development are generally negative and usually they use many different defense mechanisms to acclimate and protect themselves. material & methods: the present research for the first time was conducted to inv...

in this work, we report high biological performance of silicon substituted nano hydroxyapatite (nha) prepared by immersion of calcium phosphate and sodium silicate as precursors in simulated body fluid (sbf) solution for 24, 36, 48 and 72 hrs at 37°c. characterization and chemical analysis of the synthesized powders were performed by fourier transform, infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray powde...
