Background: Allergy to Saffron (Crocus sativus) pollen has been described in people involved in processing of saffron flower stamens. Profilins have been identified as a pan-allergen in different plant pollens and foods. This molecule is an actin-binding pro-tein with a molecular weight of 12-16 kDa found in eukaryotic species. Objective: The aim of this study was to generate monoclonal antibod...

OBJECTIVE Bone marrow has recently been recognized as a novel source of stem cells for the treatment of wide range of diseases. A number of studies on murine bone mar- row have shown a homogenous population of rare stage-specific embryonic antigen 1 (SSEA-1) positive cells that express markers of pluripotent stem cells. This study focuses on SSEA-1 positive cells isolated from murine bone marro...

We study the problem of unconditionally reliable message transmission (URMT), where two non-faulty players, the sender S and the receiver R are part of a synchronous network modeled as a directedhypergraph, a part of which may be under the influence of an adversary having unbounded computingpower. S intends to transmit a message m to R, such that R should correctly obtain S’s messag...

Background. Brain diseases are a major health issue in modern societies, leading to multiple losses and disruptions. Objective. Based on the question “Are stroke patients’ quality of life and well-being also influenced by hospitalization and its duration and nature?”, this study aimed to characterize the patients’ life situation upon returning home, assess the illness and recovery process, and ...

genetic diversity of five improved varieties (kaysari, kadi, ranger, mesmir, sea-river) and seven iranian landraces (gharayonje, amozeynadin, rahnani, tazekand, shazand, hamedani, yazdi) of alfalfa were assessed using esterase (est), peroxidase (pox), glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (got) and malate dehydrogerase (mdh). got and mdh were monomorphic, whereas est and pox showed polymorphic ba...
