interaction between urokinase-type plasminogen activator (upa) and its receptor (upar) plays an important role in the progression of numerous cancer types including breast cancer by promoting tumor initiating,  proliferation,  invasion  and  metastasis.  hence,  disruption  of  this  interaction  inhibits  their downstream cascades and subsequently tumor growth. for this, we created two series ...

71 samples of milk and dairy products were collected from 18 cities throughout iran. 93 strains of lactic acid bacteria (lab) were isolated and assayed against four opportunistic patho gens including e. coli, proteus and klebsiella as gram-negative and s. aureus as a gram-positive organism. all indicators (organisms) were hospital strains. among isolated bacteria, lactobacilli (37 isolates) had...

background & aim: the aim of this study was to assess the antifungal effect of the watercress extract on the growth of fusarium solani, the causal agent of potato dry rot. experimental:  this research was done in a completely randomized design with three concentrations and four replicates on potato dextrose agar (pda) culture medium. results: results of this study indicated that all conce...

background: calprotectin is cytotoxic agent that its anti-tumor effects are governed through suppression of topoisomerase ii a key enzyme in apoptosis. in previous studies, cytotoxicity and apoptotic effects of calprotectin are shown on different cancer cell lines, but not human gastric cancer cell lines. in the present study, cytotoxicity and apoptotic effects of calprotectin on human gastric ...

the effect of various pesticides (diflubenzuro, malathion, mancozeb and carbendazim), disinfectants (calcium hypochlorite and formaldehyde) and oil cakes (sunflower and soy-bean oil cakes) commonly used as supplements in mushroom cultivation on the growth of the nematophagous fungus, arthrobotrys oligospora, was studied under in vitro conditions. carbenazim caused 99% inhibition of radial mycel...

background: chronic myeloid leukemia is a common cancer in human and chemical therapy is a routine method for treatment that has some side effects. so the goal of this study was the use of natural compound such as cell wall obtained from saccharomyces cerevisiae ( s. cerevisiae ) and saccharomyces boulardi ( s. boulardi ) and iron nanoparticles on the growth inhibition of k562 cell line. method...
