Background: Numerous molecules in Papaveraceae family display interesting cytotoxic activities against tumor cell lines in vitro and hints of anticancer activities in vivo have been reported in a few cases. Objective: Numerous molecules in this family display interesting cytotoxic activities against tumor cell lines in vitro and hints of anticancer activities in vivo have been reported in a fe...

Increased epithelial cell proliferation is associated with an increased risk of gastric carcinoma. Helicobacter pylori infection is an established risk factor for gastric cancer and the organism has recently been classified as a group I carcinogen by an IARC working group. In this study, we describe differences in gastric epithelial cell proliferation between a H. pylori eradicated group (n = 2...

Background: Liver cancer is the second outstanding reason for cancer-related death global and thus a main public health challenge. Plant-based drugs are regarded as promising therapies. Basil and Dracocephalum kotschyi extracts have shown therapeutic impacts on various cancers. Therefore, we assessed the effects of the extract of Basil and Dracocephalum kotschyi on cell proliferation and BCL2 e...

In order to explore the role of forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1) in lipid metabolism and cell proliferation, goose primary hepatocytes were isolated incubated with insulin or PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway dual inhibitor NVP-BEZ235, then transfected FoxO1 interference plasmid. The related parameters proliferation measured. results firstly showed that increased intracellular TG lipids concentration (P < 0...

Background: Re-epithelialization has an important role in skin wound healing. Delays in re-epithelialization are more likely to create the chronic wound. Impaired wound healing leads to a large burden of morbidity and mortality. Current treatments based on the use of autografts, allografts and xenografts, suffer from limitations such as, quantity of donor skin available, donor-site infection, p...
