objective(s): throughout evolution, mammalians have increasingly lost their ability to regenerate structures however rabbits are exceptional since they develop a blastema in their ear wound for regeneration purposes. blastema consists of a group of undifferentiated cells capable of dividing and differentiating into the ear tissue. the objective of the present study is to isolate, culture expand...

sturgeons in the caspian sea due to its unique characteristics in terms of economic and social in caspian countries have a high economic value at the national and even international levels. persian sturgeon (acipenser persicus) is considered one of the most valuable caspian sea fishes in terms of restocking, caviar and meat production. nowadays, the possibility of persian sturgeon proliferation...

Plant products provide a vast source of therapeutics, but not without toxicity. This study evaluated the in vitro cytotoxic and proliferative activity selected plant extracts on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The PBMCs from healthy donors were exposed to varying concentrations (25 µg/ml, 50 100 µg/ml 200 µg/ml) aqueous young leaves Mangifera indica (MI) stem barks Commiphora ...

Plant-derived compounds are a reservoir of natural chemicals and can act as drug precursors or prototypes pharmacological probes. Methoxyeugenol is compound found in plant extracts, such nutmeg ( Myristica fragrans ), it presents anthelmintic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory activities. Recently, interest the anticancer activity extracts increasing therapeutic methoxyeugenol against cancer has...

BACKGROUND Plant biotechnology provides a valuable contribution to global health, in part because it can decrease the cost of pharmaceutical products. Breast cancer can now be successfully treated by a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb), trastuzumab (Herceptin). A course of treatment, however, is expensive and requires repeated administrations of the mAb. Here we used an Agrobacterium-mediated...

Background Plant sterols are plant derived dietary compounds that are structurally similar to cholesterol. Plant sterols reduce cholesterol absorption, and therefore plant sterol enriched functional foods are designed to lower blood cholesterol level. Reduction of cholesterol absorption increases the level of intraluminal cholesterol, and high intraluminal cholesterol concentration has been ass...
