BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess the spatial variation in physicochemical properties within individual mangos, as well as to investigate the influence of initial ripeness level on physicochemical characteristics of fresh-cut mangos. Individual mangos were evaluated at 12 specific flesh positions in the inner and outer sides. Mango cubes of 1.5 cm prepared from three firmness stages were mo...

In our lab we study neurogenesis and the development of brain tumors. We work towards treatment strategies for glioblastoma and towards using autologous neural stem cells for tissue regeneration strategies for brain damage and neurodegenerative disorders. It has been our policy to try to establish living cell cultures from all human biopsy material that we obtain. We hypothesized that small pie...

Effect of mercury on blood and its components of fish Labeo rohita was carried out in this study. The LC50 dose of 57.074 mg/L and mercuric chloride exposure for 96 h resulted in significant changes in the physico-chemical properties such as hemoglobin, osmotic fragility and blood cell counts. Further, mercury exposure also caused a considerable reduction in the sulf-hydryl group of glutathione...
