Background & Aims: In this study with the aim of benefiting from non-laser sources in photodynamic therapy, photo and radio sensitivity of indocyanine green as a sensitizer in photodynamic and radiation therapies were investigated. Methods: Based on the broad absorption peak of indocyanine green and using non-coherent light, the experiments were performed on human cells derived from breast canc...

background fish cell lines are advantageous alternatives to mammalian cell lines for carrying out in vitro research. they are used extensively for the study of fish biology, physiology and toxicology, and more recently for germplasm conservation of important fish species. objectives the present study aims to establish and characterize a novel fish cell line from muscle tissue of wallago attu ca...

the objective of the study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of aqueous extract of cucumis melo fruit on human prostate cancer cell line (pc-3) using mtt and neutral red assays. the crude aqueous extract of c. melo was prepared by cold maceration method, filtered, concentrated and tested on pc-3 cell line. dose-dependent cytotoxic activities were exhibited on human prostate carcinoma pc-3 c...

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the cytotoxicity induced by two resin-based sealers, 2Seal and AH Plus, in two osteoblast-like cell lines, MG-63 and Saos-2. Using sterile discs of both sealers in complete media, 24- and 72-h extracts were prepared. The extracts were exchanged with Saos-2 or MG-63 cell culture media at 75% confluence, and after 24 h incubation, cell viability t...

zn (ii) is an important regulator of caspase-3, as well as an antioxidant, microtubule stabilizer, growth cofactor, and anti-inflammatory agent. over the past 30 years, many researchers have demonstrated the important role of zn (ii) in a variety of physiological processes, including growth and development, maintenance and priming of the immune system, and in tissue repair and regeneration. in ...

we investigated the effects of 25 mg-porphyrin-fullerene nanoparticles, ( 25 mgpmc16) smart ferroporphyrin nanoparticles, on pc12 cells exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion. in order to explore its effect on cells under oxygen-glucose deprivation conditions, the cultures were pretreated with 25 mgpmc16 24 hours prior to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion. to initiate the oxygen...

objective(s) this study was carried out in order to evaluate the effects of electrochemotherapy, electrical pulses and chemotherapeutic drugs on the killing of cancerous cells and their probable synergistic effects. materials and methods electrochemotherapy treatments conducted on mcf-7 cell line derived from human breast adenocarcinoma tumor using four chemotherapeutic drugs including bleomyci...
