Significance During development, growth deforms tissues and organs. This is notably the case during formation of new flowers in plants, as tissue folds young floral bud emergence. Here, we provide further evidence that organogenesis compresses cells at boundary, separating organ from stem cell niche, show this leads to nucleus compression chromatin changes. While mechanical forces are well know...

Bud formation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae must be coordinated with the nuclear cycle to enable successful proliferation. Many environmental stresses temporarily disrupt bud formation, and in such circumstances, the morphogenesis checkpoint halts nuclear division until bud formation can resume. Bud emergence is essential for degradation of the mitotic inhibitor, Swe1. Swe1 is localized to the se...

In vitro cormogenesis is a potential tool for improving saffron production under controlled conditions. this study, the effects of explant type, culture and medium supplements on daughter corm formation in were assessed. Saffron flowers emerged 30 days after culture, sizes in-vitro- ex-vitro-produced stigmas similar. life cycle was completed 10 14 weeks respectively. Using intact corms more eff...

This phase 2/3 randomised, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial investigated oral corticosteroid (OCS)-sparing efficacy, safety and tolerability of nebulised budesonide (Bud) administered with a novel computer-controlled, compressor-driven inhalation system (AKITA) as add-on therapy to Global Initiative for Asthma step 5. Patients (18-65 years) with OCS-dependent asthma were randomised (2:1...

The airway retention of inhaled glucocorticosteroids (GCs) depends largely on their lipophilicity. Inhaled budesonide (BUD) becomes highly lipophilic reversibly by the formation of esters acting as a reservoir of active BUD. Ciclesonide (CIC) was also reported to form esters after hydrolysis to active metabolite (CIC-AM). We have investigated lipophilicity and airway retention of BUD, CIC/CIC-A...

The current study aimed to understand the developmental mechanisms regulating bud tip progenitor cells in the human fetal lung, which are present during branching morphogenesis, and to use this information to induce a bud tip progenitor-like population from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in vitro. We identified cues that maintained isolated human fetal lung epithelial bud tip progenitor c...

Background: Low density lipoprotein (LDL) of egg yolk has been successfully used for stallion and bull semen cryopreservation. However, there is limited information to clarify the effect of LDL or lyophilized LDL on ram semen quality. On the other hand, during semen collection, dilution and cryopreservation we need to protect the spermatozoa from lipid peroxidation. Clove bud has polyphenolic c...
