The present study was conducted to induce callus from different in vitro grown seedling explants of shoot, root and leaf segments in order to develop shoot buds and rooting from callus. The sterilized seeds were cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium, and then the explants were cultured from seedling and transferred to an MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of BAP, kinetin, NAA...

Fatty acids are considered metabolic intermediaries, although new facts indicate they also work as signaling molecules with different roles in the immune response. Based on that, this study, we investigated anti-inflammatory effects of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty (PUFAs) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic (DHA), and α-linolenic (LNA) ex vivo bovine endometrial explants. For this, two gr...

Binding of asbestos fibers to the cell surface appears to be important in the initiation of intracellular signaling events as well as in initiation of particle uptake by the cell. We have previously shown that cigarette smoke increases the uptake of asbestos fibers by tracheal epithelial cells in explant culture. Whether smoke acts by increasing surface binding of fibers is not known. In this s...
