The aim of our work was to compare cytotoxic and membrane-damaging effects of O. majorana L. essential oil and linalool on Hep G2 and to investigate their possible protective (antioxidant) effects against H2O2 induced membrane damage. The oils were investigated by GC and GC-MS and antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH and -carotene–linoleic acid assays. Assessment of cell viability was ma...

This work aims to intensify trans-p-coumaric acid (p-CA) heterologous production. p-CA exhibits antimicrobial properties, low hydrosolubility, and retro-inhibition activity, making its production limited due accumulation in the broth. To overcome these limitations, an in-stream product recovery process (ISPR) is proposed consists a liquid-liquid extraction assisted by hollow fiber membrane cont...

Inkjet printing is a versatile, contactless and accurate material deposition technology. The present work focused on developing innovative strategies for inkjet of Catalyst-Coated Membranes (CCM) by performing Additive Manufacturing (AM) applied to Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC), without resorting intermediate substrates. Three different approaches AM are presented discussed: a...

beer is the most consumed beverage after tea, carbonates, milk and coffee in the world and it continues to be a popular drink. one of the important reason for its popularity is that beer is a drink with a pleasant flavor, an attractive color and also because of its clarity. so, membrane separation technology has become widely used in the food processing industryto attain these characteristics.a...

Callus cultures were established in vitro from leaf explants of Malva neglecta and were sub-cultured several times until a rapid-growing cell line was obtained. The calluses were exposed to different doses of ultraviolet (UV) radiation as follows: 0, 432, 864, and 1296 J/m2 for UV B and 0, 612, 1284, and 1836 J/m2 for UV C, corresponding to 0, 30, 60, and 90 min radiations, in tandem. Exposure ...

background many industrial devices have an excessive vibration which can affect human body systems. the effect of vibration on cochlear histology has been as a debatable problem in occupational health and medicine. objectives due to limitation present in human studies, the research was conducted to survey the influence of vibration on cochlear histology in an animal model. materials and methods...

Many physiological processes are reliant on activities in the cell membrane. These of great importance to our well-being since they allow cells respond their environment an ...

Introduction: Cancer is, in essence, a genetic disease and is the second leading cause of death globally. Fortunately, many common types of cancer are treatable if detected early and of course there are many medications and treatments available today. Among the new methods to treat cancer, radiotherapy seems to be hopeful in patients with malignancies. This work investigates th...

there is a great concern about the effect of propoxur, as one of the more common n-methyl carbamate pesticides, on human health due to its extensive use in agricultural and non-agricultural applications. caco-2 cells became resistant to propoxur, and the resistance was confirmed through mtt assay. then the cell membrane integrity and p-glycoprotein expression were measured by ldh assay and west...

Abstract Achieving autonomous motion is a central objective in designing artificial cells that mimic biological form and function. Cellular often involves complex multiprotein machineries, which are challenging to reconstitute vitro. Here we achieve persistent of cell-sized liposomes. These small vesicles driven by direct mechanochemical feedback loop between the MinD MinE protein systems Esche...
