objective(s): sertoli cells support in vivo germ cell production; but, its exact mechanism has not been well understood. the present study was designed to analyze the effect of sertoli cells in differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mescs) to germ cells.   materials and methods: a fusion construct composed of a stra8 gene promoter and the coding region of enhanced green fluorescence pro...

in vitro propagation of az x m9 new apple rootstock resulted of breeding program of vegetative apple rootstock in iran was investigated. nodal explants were inoculated in murashige and skoog (ms) medium supplemented with various concentrations of 6-benzylaminon purine (bap) (0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 mg/l) alone or with naphthalene acetic acid (naa) (0.1 mg/l). we examined the effect of different concen...

background and objectives:  haplophyllum canaliculatum isan endemicand endangerediranian plant from rutaceae family. the object of this work was to study the volatile production in established shoot and callus cultures of haplophyllum canaliculatum as well as isolation, identification and sequencing of 18s rrna gene from callus culture. methods: shoot and callus cultures of h. canaliculatum wer...

The goal of this research is preparation, optimization and in-vitro evaluation of rifampin-loaded silica nanaoparticles in order to use in pulmonary drug delivery. Nanoparticles are exhaled because of thier small size, Preparation of nanoaggregates in micron-sized scale and re-disrpersion of them after the deposition in the lung is one approach in order to overcome this problem, which we used i...

background: curcumin as a yellow natural compound extracted from turmeric root is known it as an antibacterial agent. one of the nanoparticles ability is to decrease the defects of usual drug delivery systems. chitosan is a low toxic, biodegradable, biocompatible and safe polymer which is used in production of nanoparticles. nanoparticles like chitosan-tripolyphosphate (tpp) are able to increas...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) on survival, activation and growth of ovine primordial follicles using histological studies. Pieces of ovine ovarian cortex were obtained and cultured for 6 days in Minimum Essential Medium supplemented with or without FSH (50 ng/mL). These fragments were then process to be used for histology compar...

Background Melatonin (N-acetyl-5- methoxytryptamine) is mainly synthesized and secreted in the pineal gland, ovary, testes, bone marrow, retina and lens in mammalian species. It is involved in the detoxification of ROS and protects embryos from oxidative damage. Melatonin acts as a potential free radical scavenger, including peroxyl radical and hydroxyl radical. In addition, it can stimulate th...
