Zeaxanthin is a common carotenoid, which is a powerful antioxidant that protects against damage caused by reactive oxygen species. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of zeaxanthin supplementation on in vitro maturation of porcine embryo development. We investigated nuclear maturation, intracellular glutathione (GSH), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels during in vi...

Neurons differentiated from pluripotent stem cells using established neural culture conditions often exhibit functional deficits. Recently, we have developed enhanced media which both synchronize the neurogenesis of pluripotent stem cell-derived neural progenitors and accelerate their functional maturation; together these media are termed SynaptoJuice. This pair of media are pro-synaptogenic an...

background: the effect of temperature and humidity on the maturation of toxocara cati eggs in an in vitro system was investigated. methods: suspensions of toxocara cati eggs, with 5% formalin/saline or 2.5% formalin/ringer were prepared and maintained at 37 °c under 40% humidity or at 25 °c under 98% humidity for 3 weeks for egg development. results: the suspension sample mixed by 2.5% formalin...

numerous studies have been conducted about the role of media during a crisis. accordingly diverse functions have been defined for media while in crisis. by applying a prescriptive viewpoint to derive mass media functions, most of the studies have been the based on the opinions of experts and the opinions of the victims have rarely been taken into consideration. for the first time, we have direc...

Background The improvement of in vitro maturation (IVM) protocols through the supplementation with different molecules has become an alternative to increase the culture medium efficiency. Tretinoin (TTN, all-trans retinoic acid, ATRA), is an active metabolite of vitamin A [1], that mediates cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and embryonic development process. In in vitro production embry...

Abstract The method for micro-propagation of rubber ( Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg ) by somatic embryo has been conducted. aim the research will describe effect media used callus induction on formation plants. Embryonic had in 3 media, i.e.; MH1, MH2, and MH3. After induction, all were induced expression. Maturation cotyledons was performed using liquid with filter paper as a bridge to absorb ...
