turmeric (cucurma longa) has been used as an antioxidant agent in medical as well as health sciences some years ago. however, it has not been applied in tissue culture till now. browning tissues is result of tissue damages caused by polyphenoloxidase enzyme. in order to study this problem and reduce browning, explants are cultured in culture media containing antioxidants including citric acid, ...

In plants, multiple detached tissues are capable of forming a pluripotent cell mass, termed callus, when cultured on media containing appropriate plant hormones. Recent studies demonstrated that callus resembles the root-tip meristem, even if it is derived from aerial organs. This finding improves our understanding of the regeneration process of plant cells; however, the molecular mechanism tha...

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis(MIPO) has been considered as an alternative for fracture treatment. Previous study has demonstrated that MIPO technique has the advantage of less soft tissue injury compared with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). However, the comparison of callus formation and mineralization between two plate osteosynthesis methods remains unknown. In this experime...

background: ferula gummosa boiss. is a medicinal and economical plant belonging to apiaceae family. it is a native herb of iran and is in serious danger of extinction. objective: gamma irradiation is an environmental stress and can consider as a new tool to change the content of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants. the effect of gamma irradiation on phenolic content and radical scavenging...

this review article investigates a comprehensive description of the factors, methods, strategies, approaches and prerequisites influencing in vitro micropaopagation and the amount of their use across the world. the findings presented here are the results of the study of several hundred papers published all over the world. tissue culture techniques are routinely used for micropropagation. enhanc...

Mice are extensively used for experimental bone-healing studies. However, there are few established nondestructive in vivo techniques for longitudinal fracture-healing analysis in mice, including in vivo micro-computed tomography (μCT) and radiography. Importantly, none of the established methods can discriminate between non-mineralized fibrous tissue and cartilage in the soft fracture callus. ...
