The first human bone marrow transplantation in a patient with hematologic malignancy took place in the 1950s, but only transient engraftment of the bone marrow was noted [1]. In the 1960s, additional information regarding the HLA system became available; the...

INTRODUCTION The genus Vigna Fabaceae, formerly Leguminosae, is composed of more than 200 species that are native to the warm regions of both the old world and new world. Vigna is closely related to Phaseolus, which is composed of more than 20 species that are native to warm or tropical regions of the New World. A number of species previously placed in Phaseolus are now placed in Vigna. The gen...

BACKGROUND Archaeobotany, the study of plant remains from sites of ancient human activity, provides data for studying the initial evolution of domesticated plants. An important background to this is defining the domestication syndrome, those traits by which domesticated plants differ from wild relatives. These traits include features that have been selected under the conditions of cultivation. ...

Cardiovascular problems have been haunting human populations for a long time with no specific cure. It is believed that a shift in the eating, and physical habits might have paved the way for the alarming increase in cardiovascular diseases. Increase in the lipid level has been pinpointed as an important risk factor. Hence epidemiological and clinical studies were undertaken throughout the worl...
