We aimed to determine the cytotoxic and immunomodulatory effects of hydroalcoholic extracts of the roots and aerial parts of Ebenus boissieri (EB) on breast cancer MDA-MB231 cells and the non-cancerous human embryonic kidney cell line, 293T. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay, trypan blue exclusion, and Live/Dead Viability/Cytotoxicity assay. Apoptosis was evaluated by measuring the act...

BACKGROUND Ebenus boissieri Barbey is an Antalya, Turkey-endemic plant belonging to Fabaceae family. The aerial parts and the roots of E. boissieri Barbey were used in this study. OBJECTIVE In the present study, we have examined the apoptotic effects of hydroalcoholic extracts of E. boissieri Barbey in human cervical cancer cell line HeLa. MATERIALS AND METHODS To determine the cytotoxic ef...

The collection of cephalopods from eight sampling horizons within the Olenidsletta Member, Valhallfonna Formation, Floian–Dapingian, Profilstranda and nearby Profilbekken, Ny Friesland, Spitsbergen, resulted in detection 31 species, 20 genera, 12 families Ellesmerocerida, Endocerida, Riocerida, Dissidocerida, Orthocerida, Tarphycerida, Oncocerida. Of these, five genera (Ethanoceras gen. nov., H...

kolah ghazi national park is one of the most important habitats for wild goat in iran with a population of around 2000 heads. in order to model the habitat for this species, a presence only layer was used as input to enfa method in biomapper software. ecogeographic factors were also used as independent variables including plant community, distribution of predators, geomorphologic features, main...

chemodiversity in plants provides sources of great value which might be helpful for finding new leads in drug discovery programs. fabaceae as the third largest family of flowering plants was chosen to investigate its possible antifungal activity. in order to increase the effectiveness of the result, molecular similarity methods and chemical data were used. twelve plants were selected from fabac...

the genus onobrychis is subdivided into two subgenera: onobrychis and sisyrosema. phylogenetic relationships of 19 species of onobrychis (fabaceae: tribe hedysareae) and one representative each of genera eversmannia and ebenus were estimated from dna sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (its) region. parsimony analysis of the its region formed a dendrogram with strong bootstrap support ...
