The release of intercellular contacts in MDBK cells, initiated by the depletion of Ca 2+ ions from the culture medium, results in the endocytotic uptake of membrane vesicles containing specific membrane constituents of the zonula adhaerens (ZA). During this process the junction-derived, endocytosed vesicles remain associated with the ZA plaque components, while the plaque and its attached actin...

background and objectives: iran owns a rich and prestigious heritage of medicinal herbs but the majority of these plants have not yet undergone chemical, pharmacological and toxicological studies. in the present study some species form northern parts of iran were evaluated for cytotoxicity. methods: sixteen medicinal plants were extracted with methanol and screened for their cytotoxic activitie...
