Background: Re-epithelialization has an important role in skin wound healing. Delays in re-epithelialization are more likely to create the chronic wound. Impaired wound healing leads to a large burden of morbidity and mortality. Current treatments based on the use of autografts, allografts and xenografts, suffer from limitations such as, quantity of donor skin available, donor-site infection, p...

background: breast cancer is the most common diagnosed cancer among women in the world. snail1 plays a role in the development of the invasive phenotypes of cancer, neural cell differentiation, cell division and apoptosis in tumor cells. traces of snail1 in metastasis of breast cancer to bone are observed. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of specific snail1 sirnas on the prol...

DC are unique antigen presenting cells, and their ability to induce proliferation of T cells in a mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) assay is commonly used for the evaluation of their function. To determine the mechanisms involved in DC-induced T cell activation in a primary MLR assay, a variety of different agents were examined in this study that interfere with DNA synthesis, membrane organization...

Abstract Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a high-risk factor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Cellular immune responses are essential for HCC development, and the CD4+ CD8+ T subtypes identified as primary anti-tumor cells. In study, we investigated effect mechanism amygdalin in cellular response HBV-related progression. Methods The cell proliferation was examined by MTT analys...

objective: helicobacter pylori has a well-established role in the development of gastric cancer. in vitro studies reveal increased proliferation of the gastric mucosa in the presence of h. pylori infection. it has been also shown that production of some cytokines, such as interleukin-1 beta (il-1b) is increased in h. pylori infection. in addition, il-1b increases proliferation of gastric epithe...

in many acute leukemias, normal differentiation does not occur. however, in many cell lines derived from hematologic malignancies, differentiation or programmed cell death (apoptosis) can be induced by variety of agents including: vitamin analogs, demethylating agents, cyclic amp analogs and anti-proliferative agents. to the best of our knowledge there has been not any study specifically to ana...

objectives : platelet preparations are commonly used to enhance bone and soft tissue regeneration. considering the existing controversies on the efficacy of platelet products for tissue regeneration, more in vitro studies are required. the aim of the present study was to compare the in vitro effects of plasma rich in growth factors (prgf) and platelet-rich fibrin (prf) on proliferation and viab...
