چکیده
Oysters with potential for aquaculture are found throughout the tropics and subtropics, but few species have been cultured and in only a few tropical countries. This monograph reviews the biology, ecology and culture techniques, both experimental and commercial, used in the tropics; describes the problems associated with tropical oyster farming; and points out research needs to develop further this form of aquaculture. Three oyster genera are discussed in the review: Ostrea, Crassostrea and Saccostrea. The advantages and disadvantages of various species of each genus with regard to aquaculture are described.

Expression of Neurotrophins in Adipose-derived Stem Cells during in vitro Culture and Posttransplantation in Parkinsonian Rat Model
Background: Adipose tissue stem cells (ASCs) cause faster repair of damaged tissue posttransplantation by releasing growth factors in neurodegenerative diseases. ASCs secrete factors in the culture medium called conditioned medium (CM) in vitro. This study investigated the expression of neurotrophin genes in vitro culture and transplant of ASCs in Parkinsonian rats. Materials and Methods: In th...
متن کاملOptimized primary culture and subculture of granulosa cells
Background: Primordial follicle includes an oocyte surrounded by a layer of somatic cells called granulosa cells (GCs). GCs, also known as nurse cells, are an important protective element for the growth and survival of oocytes. Oocytes, which lack some of the metabolic processes required granulosa cells for their development. Objective: This manuscript has been provided to explain the protocol...
متن کاملSpermatogonial Stem Cells: Biology, Isolation, Culture, Characterization, and Practical Perspectives
Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) also known as germ stem cells (GSCs) are the basis of spermatogenesis process in the testis. Furthermore, they are also valuable cells with different applications in developmental biology, transgenesis technology, and clinic. Understanding the new findings related to the cell and molecular biology of SSCs and the methods for isolation and maintenance of these ce...
متن کاملSupernatant Metabolites from Halophilic Archaea to Reduce Tumorigenesis in Prostate Cancer In-vitro and In-vivo
Halophilic archaea are known as the novel producers of natural products and their supernatant metabolites could have cytotoxic effects on cancer cells. In the present study, we screened the anticancer potential of supernatant metabolites from eight native haloarchaeal strains obtained from a culture collection in Iran. Five human cancer cell lines including breast, lung, prostate and also human...

Objective(s) The use of co-culture cells as well as extra cellular matrix are among those strategies that have been employed to direct mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) bone differentiation in culture. In this regard, there is no study considering the effects of Matrigel on mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) in vitro bone differentiation. This was the subject of the present study. Materials and Methods ...
متن کاملThe effect of rhFSH on Sperm DNA Fragmentation and sperm parameters in Oligozoospermia Infertile Men
Background: One of the main causes of male infertility is the negative effects of oxidative stress. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) plays an essential role in spermatogenesis, as well as in the maintenance of sperm DNA integrity. This study aimed to determine whether the recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (rhFSH) treatment of sperm parameters could positively affect sperm DNA and...
