Nano Bioactive glass material of the type CaO–P2O5–SiO2 was obtained by the sol-gel processing method at considerably lower temperatures than required for conventional melting methods. As a new modification, volume of solution was changed in order to investigate its effects on the properties of bioglass samples. The obtained material was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), surface ...

Bioactive compounds including anthocyanins and other polyphenols are associated with reduced lung inflammation improved function in asthma diseases. This study investigated the effects of a Boysenberry apple juice concentrate, high cyanidin glycosides, ellagitannins, chlorogenic acid, on mouse model allergic airways inflammation. Male C57BL/6J mice were orally gavaged 2.5 mg/kg total (TAC) from...

Abstract Flower senescence is commonly enhanced by the endogenous hormone ethylene and suppressed gibberellins (GAs) in plants. However, detailed mechanisms for antagonism of these hormones during flower remain elusive. In this study, we characterized one up-regulated gene PhOBF1, belonging to basic leucine zipper transcription factor family, senescing petals petunia (Petunia hybrida). Exogenou...

We investigated the interwire distance dependence on the growth kinetics of vertical, high-yield InAs nanowire arrays on Si 111 grown by catalyst-free selective area molecular beam epitaxy MBE . Utilizing lithographically defined SiO2 nanomasks on Si 111 with regular hole patterns, catalyst-free and site-selective growth of vertically 111 -oriented InAs nanowires was achieved with very high yie...

The Web-based motif-x program provides a simple interface to extract statistically significant motifs from large data sets, such as MS/MS post-translational modification data and groups of proteins that share a common biological function. Users upload data files and download results using common Web browsers on essentially any Web-compatible computer. Once submitted, data analyses are performed...

Seed germination plays important roles in the establishment of seedlings and their subsequent growth; however, seed germination is inhibited by salinity, and the inhibitory mechanism remains elusive. Our results indicate that NaCl treatment inhibits rice seed germination by decreasing the contents of bioactive gibberellins (GAs), such as GA1 and GA4, and that this inhibition can be rescued by e...

PURPOSE Bioactive glass bonds to bone through a calcium phosphate layer that mimics the structure of the mineral phase of bone. Formation of this layer is inhibited in the presence of serum protein. The authors hypothesize that creation of a calcium phosphate layer on the surface of bioactive glass before implantation will enhance bone regeneration and graft material resorption in bone defects....
