adult neurogenesis is a process of producing nerve cells from their progenitor that occurs in some areas in the brain such as the hypothalamus. low activity in this area plays a role in neural degeneration and diseases such as multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and depression. ms is a neurodegenerative disease with a permanent disability that the main reason for it is axonal degeneration and neuronal...

background: pomegranate fruit (punica granatum l.) is a rich source of anthocyanin pigments resulting in vibrant colours and anti-oxidant contents. although the intensity and pattern of anthocyanin biosynthesis in fruit are strongly influenced by r2r3-myb transcription factors, little is known about the regulation and role of myb in anthocyanin pathway of pomegranate.objectives: the present stu...

The plant hormones abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene are involved in diverse plant processes, including the regulation of gene expression during adaptive responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Previously, ABA has been implicated in enhancing disease susceptibility in various plant species, but currently very little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying this p...

Wound responses in plants have to be coordinated between organs so that locally reduced growth in a wounded tissue is balanced by appropriate growth elsewhere in the body. We used a JASMONATE ZIM DOMAIN 10 (JAZ10) reporter to screen for mutants affected in the organ-specific activation of jasmonate (JA) signaling in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. Wounding one cotyledon activated the reporter i...

introduction: neurodegenerative diseases are progressive disorders that could impair neuronal functions and structures. oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are involved in the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases such as alzheimer’s disease, parkinson’s disease and etc. gemfibrozil is used as a therapeutic drug for hyperlipidemia. it has been shown that gemfibrozil is neuroprotecti...
