Garlic Extract Can Induce Apoptotic Cell Death in The Human Colon Adenocarcinoma HT29 Cell Line

  Background and Objective: Garlic has been known worldwide as a dietary constituent with many pharmacological effects. The present in vitro study was designed to investigate the putative anticancer effect of garlic extract on cancer cells, and if this effect was through apoptosis induction. Material and Methods:  Human colon adenocarcinoma cells HT29 were treated with different doses (1, 5 a...

Changes in plant mitochondrial electron transport alter cellular levels of reactive oxygen species and susceptibility to cell death signaling molecules.

Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) lacking mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX) have been compared with wild-type (Wt) tobacco using two different systems, either suspension cell cultures or leaves. In both systems, a lack of AOX was accompanied by an increase in some anti-oxidant defenses, consistent with the hypothesis that a lack of AOX increases the mitochondrial generation of reacti...

Using orthodontics to alter gingival levels.

Biochemical functionalization of polymeric cell substrata can alter mechanical compliance.

Biochemical functionalization of surfaces is an increasingly utilized mechanism to promote or inhibit adhesion of cells. To promote mammalian cell adhesion, one common functionalization approach is surface conjugation of adhesion peptide sequences such as Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD), a ligand of transmembrane integrin molecules. It is generally assumed that such functionalization does not alter the local...
