Aim: This study aims to investigate the possible effects of aqueous Echinacea (E. Purpurea, whole plant) extract on Adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity in cancerous and non-cancerous human gastric and colon tissues. Materials and Methods: Thirty three cancerous and 33 non-cancerous human gastric tissues, and 25 cancerous and non-cancerous human colon tissues removed by surgical operations were s...

background: trace elements play an important role in a number of biological processes. astaxanthin (asx), a carotoid pigment found in certain marine plant and animals, has shown anti cancer and anti free radical properties. this work intended to understand the effect of astaxanthin in breast cancer (invasive ductal carcinoma, idc) by using micro-pixe method. for this aim the concentration of tr...

Demonstrated a reliable distinction in the emission and circular dichroism spectral features of TO dye, on binding to DNAs from non-cancerous cancerous tissues, which offers label-free optical method for diagnosis cancer tissues.

Computational and experimental evidence has revealed that cancerous cells express transcript variants that are abnormally spliced, suggesting that mRNAs are more frequently alternatively spliced in cancerous tissues than in normal ones. We show that cancerous tissues exhibit lower levels of alternative splicing than do normal tissues. Moreover, we found that the distribution of types of alterna...
