Introduction: The preparation of seasonal influenza virus vaccines and especially its large-scale production requirement after the emergence or reemergence of a pandemic will need an alternative host cell system due to current suboptimal methods and the insufficiency of embryonated chicken eggs needed for producing them. In response to the vital and increasing demand for alternative means for ...

Background & Aim: Investigation of suspension cell culture and callus production in Catharanthus roseus. Catharanthus roseus is an herbaceous perennial plant belongs to the family Apocynaceae. C. roseus is important as commercial medicinal plant because of its alkaloidal content. Whole plant contains about 130 alkaloids those are classified as vinca alkaloids...

objective:more similarity to in vivo medium may help to increase the proliferation and differentiation of cells at in vitro condition. the present study has investigated the effect of a dynamic mediumand nano hydroxyapatite (nha) presence on proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) to bone cells using electrospun polycaprolactone (pcl) scaffolds. methods: we prepared p...

Objectives- To isolate, culture-expand and differentiate mesenchymal stem cells from ovine bone marrow and determine their culture requirements for high expansion rate. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Five Shal sheep. Procedures- In this study, ovine marrow cells were plated and culture expanded through 3 successive subcultures. The resultant cells were then plated at differentiating condi...

the development of culture media able to mimic the preovulatory stage of follicular environment and support nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation of oocyte is important for in-vitro fertilization (ivf) programs. it seems that the best culture media for embryonic development and cell cleavage is the natural composition which surrounds the oocyte which has been used occasionally in human ivf program...

background previous studies using cell culture systems for the replication of hepatitis c virus have opened new research dimensions, and paved the ways for further and detailed studies of the virus in vitro. objectives the purpose of the present study was to cultivate hepatitis c virus in a cell culture system and evaluate viral amplification. materials and methods in order to propagate hepatit...
