background: as the use of mobile phones is increasing, public concern about the harmful effects of radiation emitted by these devices is also growing. in addition, protection questions and biological effects are among growing concerns which have remained largely unanswered. stem cells are useful models to assess the effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (rf-emf) on other cell lines. ...

Wounds are among the most common, painful, debilitating and costly conditions in older adults. Disruption of the angiotensin type 1 receptors (AT1R), has been associated with impaired wound healing, suggesting a critical role for AT1R in this repair process. Biological functions of angiotensin type 2 receptors (AT2R) are less studied. We investigated effects of genetically disrupting AT2R on ra...

objectives: this study investigated the possible synergistic effect of simultaneous treatment of bone morphogenic protein (bmp)-4 as a chemical stimulator and static magnetic field (smf) as a physical stimulator on viability percent and proliferation rate in rat bone marrow stem cells. methods: passage 5 cells were trypsinized, and a cell suspension prepared after which the cells were counted ...

Abstract Background To identify the role of physical prehabilitation (PP) in liver regeneration, mitochondrial function, biogenesis, and inflammatory response was investigated after associating partition portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) a rodent model. Methods Male Wistar rats (n = 60) underwent ALPPS. Animals were divided 30) to group sedentary (S). The animals exsanguinated...

Background Recently, the clinical use of low power lasers has increased, and it is said that wound healing is accelerated by their irradiation. The aim of this study was evaluation of the effect of platelet-rich plasma on proliferation and differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells with or without Ga-Al-As laser. Methods: In this experimental study, human lower third molar dental pulp c...

Calls for „holistic‟ responses to halt the increasing imprisonment of women are continually reiterated. Solutions are sought which aim to be both „gender-responsive‟ and „community-based‟, however the absence of meaningful definitions of „community‟ and „holistic‟ means that superficial responses are often put in place in response to failures of the system. Taking as an example one attempt to i...

Many proteins depend on an interaction with molecular chaperones in order to fold into a functional tertiary structure. Previous studies showed that protein interaction with the GroEL/GroES chaperonine and Hsp90 chaperone can buffer the impact of slightly deleterious mutations in the protein sequence. This capacity of GroEL/GroES to prevent protein misfolding has been shown to accelerate the ev...
