Placental development requires extensive angiogenesis and the invasion of the maternal decidua by the trophoblasts. Adequate and organized interaction of vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF), placenta growth factors (PlGF), and their receptors are essential for a normal development and function of the placenta. In this study, we evaluated the expressions of PlGFs and their receptors, mRNA...

The 3T3-L1 cell line is a well-established and commonly used in vitro model to assess adipocyte differentiation. Over the course of several days, confluent 3T3-L1 cells can be converted to adipocytes in the presence of an adipogenic cocktail. In this study, the effects of chitosan oligosaccharides (CO) on adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells were studied. The CO significantly decreased lip...

Pulses are commonly consumed among Indian people as sources of minerals. The objectives of this research were to assess the content of total and bioavailable calcium, inhibiting factors such as oxalate, phytate, tannin and dietary fiber and effect of cooking on bioavailable calcium in the commonly consumed pulses by Indians. The bioavailability of calcium was studied by an in vitro method using...

Angiogenesis is a very complex physiological process, which involves multiple pathways that are dependent on the homeostatic balance between the growth factors (stimulators and inhibitors). This tightly controlled process is stimulated by angiogenic factors, which are present within the tumor and surrounding tumor-associated stromal cells. The dependence of tumor propagation, invasion and metas...

This paper explores the importance of semantic integrity during data warehouse design and its impact on the successful use of the implemented warehouse. This was achieved through a detailed case study. Consequently, a conceptual framework for describing intersubjective meaning in data modelling has been developed. The purpose of the framework is to provide a theoretical basis for explaining how...

the idea that teaching a foreign language has a cultural dimension isn't new.this study is a review of literature on the importance of the synchronized teaching ofculture and language and the exising challenges in this area.thispaper deals with questions like:what is the aim of teaching culture?what are the constituent components of culture?what aspects of culture should be taught and what...

White oyster mushroom (Pleuratus Florida) is one of the types mushrooms that has become an alternative due to its beneficial nutritional content for body, making it a promising business opportunity and community. However, achieve success in cultivation business, right knowledge courage try are needed. The objectives this study to: 1) understand history cultivation, 2) community responses 3) ide...

Angiogenesis is a critical component of tumor growth. A number of growth factors, including VEGF, FGF, and HGF, have been implicated as angiogenic growth factors that promote tumor angiogenesis in different types of cancer. Ets-1 is the prototypic member of the Ets transcription factor family. Ets-1 is known to be a downstream mediator of angiogenic growth factors. Expression of Ets-1 in a vari...

PURPOSE The accumulation of wound fluid known as seroma in the chest cavity following breast surgery is a common occurrence that can persist for many weeks. While the pro-inflammatory composition of seroma is well established, there has been remarkably little research to determine whether seroma contains pro-oncogenic factors, and whether this is influenced by previous malignant disease. METH...
