chemical investigation of garcinia eugenifolia and calophyllum enervosum yielded six compounds. one of these was found to be a novel compound identified as enervosanone. five known compounds cambogin, epicatechin, osajaxanthone, rubraxanthone and isocowanol, were also isolated. these compounds were tested for their bioactivity as antimicrobial, antioxidant and cytotoxicagents. antimicrobial ass...

Background: Using natural compounds with low toxicity on normal cells and high efficacy on malignant cells is highly appreciated for treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). In the present study, the effect of fish-oil derived eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on the cell number, cell proliferation rate and caspase-3 enzyme activity in LS174T human colorectal cancer cell line was investigated. Methods:...

Background and Aim: Recently, several studies have indicated that the central nervous system has the capacity for endogenous repair. But, the proliferation capacity of endogenous neural stem cells (NSCs) isn’t sufficient for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. So, it sounds that stimulation of endogenous NSC proliferation is essential for neuroregeneration. The aim of this study ...

Introduction: Now days, several studies have indicated the central nervous system has capacity for endogenous repair. But, the proliferation of endogenous neural stem cells (NSCs) is insufficient for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. So, it sound that stimulation of endogenous NSC proliferation is essential for neuroregeneration. The Acca sellowiana (Feijoa) extract as herbal extract is ...

Abstract Background Our present study aimed to evaluate the effect of calcium phosphate nanoparticles in chlorohexidine paste on odontogenic differentiation human dental pulp stem cells. The cells (HDPSCs) were examined for viability and proliferation via trypan blue stain test MTT assay. This was followed by evaluating alkaline phosphatase assay detecting Dentin matrix protein (DMP-1) marker i...

The natural product Ginkgolide B was used as a raw material and modified by esterification on C10-OH or C1-OH to obtain 11 derivatives (1–11), which were structurally characterized with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. An MTT assay-based in vitro tumor proliferation inhibitory activity test showed that compounds 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, exhibited strong against the human ovarian cancer cells SKO...

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...

Abnormal proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contributes to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Studies have shown the great impact of microRNAs (miRNAs) on the cell proliferation of VSMCs. This study examined the effects of miR-137 on the cell proliferation and migration of VSMCs and also explored the underlying molecular mechanisms. The mRNA and protein expression le...

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to ferment yoghurt from milk using lactic acid bacteria found in pinecones and examine the cell viability lipid peroxidation levels fermented on Vascular Endothelial Cell Line ECV304.
 METHODS: ECV304 cultured vitro. To determine viability, various concentration yogurt extract with pinecone were given cells MTT Assay. At same doses as Assay, Lipid Pero...
