Limonia acidissima (L.), Wood-Apple, is an underexploited and edible fruit of family Rutacae which can be consumed either in raw or ripe form. In northern parts of India, which is locally called Kaitha. In the present work, we have attempted to study different characteristics of pulp and rind (outer shell) of Kaitha fruit, to understand its health benefits. Various studies were done to estimate...

ABSTRACT - Vermicomposting with pomegranate pulp can not only prevent pollution of the environment but can also create jobs, generate added value and prevent the waste of energy and the country's capital. This factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design. The first factor (a) in two levels contained neutralized pomegranate pulp with lime and non-neutralized pulp. The sec...

The North American pawpaw [ Asimina triloba (L.) Dunal] is a tree fruit in the early stages of commercial production in the United States. This plant contains annonaceous acetogenins in the twigs, unripe fruit, seeds, roots, and bark tissues, which display antitumor, pesticidal, antimalarial, anthelmintic, piscicidal, antiviral, and antimicrobial effects, suggesting many potentially useful appl...

Dental pulp tissue supports the vitality of the tooth, but it is particularly vulnerable to external insults, such as mechanical trauma, chemical irritation or microbial invasion, which can lead to tissue necrosis. In the present work, we present an endodontic regeneration method based on the use of a tridimensional (3D) hyaluronan scaffold and human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) to produce a ...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the histopathological effects of an antioxidant therapy on the pulp tissue of rat teeth exposed to a bleaching gel with 35% hydrogen peroxide. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty rats were subjected to oral ingestion by gavage of distilled water (DW) or ascorbic acid (AA) 90 min before the bleaching therapy. For the bleaching treatment, the agent w...

AIM To present a case report in which the pulp of two bilateral mandibular premolars with dens evaginatus were revascularized using a modified novel technique to avoid undesired crown discolouration. SUMMARY Recently, regeneration of necrotic pulps has become an alternative conservative treatment option for young permanent teeth with immature roots and is a subject of great interest in the fi...

Background: The last decade has been marked by increasing data regarding gastroinstestinal diseases, specially gastritis and ulcer. In order to prevent or treat these diseases, many studies have demonstrated the potential of medicinal plants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the phytochemical profile and the gastroprotective activity of the methanolic extract of Myrcianthes pungens whole f...

Although the primary cell cultures from dental pulp and other oral tissue are frequently used to study osteogenic potential and stem cell responses, few systematic and comparative studies on stemness for the dentinogenic differentiation of these cells have been conducted. In the present study, to investigate the stemness of oral primary cells during extended culture, human adult dental pulp cel...

Background Currently, the use of stem cells from permanent (DPSCs) and deciduous teeth (SHEDs) has enabled many therapeutic advances. Despite numerous sources of stem cells, DPSCs and SHEDs have shown several advantages, since the isolation method is noninvasive and cells present rapid expansion in vitro [1]. DPSCs have shown the capacity to form a dentin-pulp like complex. Due to its high oste...
