background: the particles in the range of 1-100 nm are called nanoparticles56t. gold nanoparticle is one of the most important metal nanoparticles with wide usage56t.objective: 56tthis study investigated the effects of gold nanoparticles on sperm parameters and chromatin structure in mice56t.materials and methods: 56tin this experimental study, 72 male bulb-c mice were divided into 9 groups inc...

Acrolcin-fixed, polyester wax-cmbcddcd tissue sections showed excellent preservation of light microscopic architecture and, when stained with toluidinc blue, intense color contrast between DNA, which stained orthochromatically, and RNA, which stained metachromatically. This method has practical value for differentiating DNA from RNA in the same section. The color c~)ntrast was impaired by subst...

objective: we studied both the presence of some carbohydrate compounds in a three-dimensional (3d) matrix harvested from human gingiva and the cell behavior in this matrix. materials and methods: in this experimental research, in order to prepare 3d scaffolds, human palatal gingival biopsies were harvested and physically decellularized by freeze-thawing and sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds). the sca...

the importance of mesenchymal stem cells (mscs), as adult stem cells (ascs) able to divide into a variety of different cells is of utmost importance for stem cell researches. in this study, the ability of cartilage extract to induce differentiation of rat derived omentum tissue mscs (rot-mscs) into chondrocyte cells (ccs) was investigated. after isolation of rot-mscs, they were co-cultured with...

The inactivation of foot-and-mouth disease virus was studied by means of the interaction of neutral red, Toluidine Blue, and methylene blue with visible light. The virus, Type A, strain 1, CANEFA of Argentine origin, was grown in tissue culture and tested in the crude and clarified state. Virus and dye were mixed and incubated together at 4 C for 45 min in the dark, or were mixed and immediatel...

Adrenomedullin (AM), a potent vasodilatory hypotensive peptide, is expressed in the heart, where it is known to play a protective action. Light-microscopy immunocytochemistry (ICC) demonstrated the presence of AM immunoreactivity not only in the coronary-vessel wall and ventricular myocytes of the human and rat heart, but also in sparse voluminous cells located in the perivascular space. These ...

Cuticle, including wax and cutin, is the barrier covering plant aerial organs and protecting the inner tissues. The Arabidopsis thaliana ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter CER5 (AtWBC12) has been identified as a wax exporter. In agreement with the latest report of another wax exporter, AtWBC11, here we show that atwbc11 mutants displayed organ fusions and stunted growth, and became vulnerab...
