Extracellular vesicles (EV) awakened interest in the research on mesenchymal stromal cells by exploring their paracrine effects. However, many isolation protocols use bovine serum albumin (BSA) during the preparation of the EV. Therefore, we produced 'sham' BSA-EV and tested them in comparison to EV derived from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC-EV). We found that BSA-EV did not express MSC-specif...

the aim of this study was to show the effect of four feeding regimes on thyroid hormones concentrations, growth performance and food coefficient in rainbow trout applied through 4 treatments and 3 replications in winter 2006. in this research, samples of rainbow trout with an initial mean weight (so) 47.19±0.42 used in each rearing unite. fish were fed twice a day ad libitum as follows: treatme...

Carbon source starvation can promote steel corrosion in the presence of a pure culture through extracellular electron transfer (EET). However, impact carbon on induced by mixed strains is still unknown. This work investigated EH40 Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, typical species sulfate- nitrate-reducing bacteria. It was found that depended nitrate addition. When (5 g∙L−1 NaNO...

Abstract Background Breast cancer 2, early onset ( BRCA2 ) is a tumor suppressor gene. The protein encoded by this gene plays an important role in homologous recombination (HR)-mediated DNA repair. Deleterious mutations and downregulation of its expression have been associated with tumorigenesis dogs humans. Thus, regulation level for maintaining homeostasis recombination. Results In study, the...

Autophagy can be induced under nutrition stress conditions. Bcl-2 is a pro-survival protein which inhibits apoptosis and autophagy. However, the role of Bcl-2 in autophagy regulation and cell survival under nutrition deprivation has not been fully understood. This study sought to investigate if Bcl-2 upregulation is essential in limiting autophagic activity and prevent cell death under nutritio...

Clinical use of doxorubicin (DOX) is limited by its cardiotoxic side effects. Recent studies established that metformin (MET), an oral antidiabetic drug, possesses an antioxidant activity. However, whether it can protect against DOX-induced energy starvation and mitochondrial damage has not been reported. Our results, in a rat model of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, show that DOX treatment signifi...

Need for high speed internet connectivity has lead to a substantial research in switching systems. Buffered crossbar switches have received a lot of attention from both research and industrial communities due of its flexibility and scalability. Designing a scheduling algorithm for buffered crossbar switches without starvation is a major challenge as of now. In this paper, we proposed a Delay ba...

Background: Analysis of many proteins produced during the transition into the stationary phase and under stress conditions (including starvation stress) demonstrated that a number of novel proteins were induced in common to each stress and could be the reason for cross-protection in bacterial cells. It is necessary to investigate the synthesis of these proteins during different stress condition...
