parsi zira, bunium persicum (boiss.) b. fedtsch., or black zira, a member of the umbellifera family, is one of the most important medicinal species with high economic value. generally, there is limited information about in vitro culture of bunium persicum. in this study, the effect of various media (ms, b5) and combinations of plant growth regulators, naa and 2,4-d alone or together with kin, o...

spinal cord injury (sci) in humans remains a devastating and incurable disorder. a very important obstacle in axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury is astroglial scaring. the use of self-assembling peptide nanofiber, a hydrogel mimicking extracellular matrix, has been suggested as a scaffold for spinal cord regeneration and inhibition of astrogliosis. however, neurogenesis potential of l...

in a preliminary study carried out in a simple field laboratory in bandar-abbas, southern iran, five isolates of p. falciparum collected from the patients was cultured in rpmi 1640 medium with human serum in the tightly closed screw capped vials without any devised system for adjustment of co2 and o2 mixture. the same isolates were also cultured, simultaneously, in petri-dishes using jensen-tra...

The present study was investigated the effects of two elicitors methyl jasmonate (0, 125, 250 and 500 µM) and chitosan (0, 50, 150 and 250 mg L-1) on shoot and callus growth of Iranian Hypericum perforatumL. in vitro cultures in separate experiments. The experiment was done in the base of completely randomized design with five replications and five explants in each replication. Methyl jasmonate...

objectives : platelet preparations are commonly used to enhance bone and soft tissue regeneration. considering the existing controversies on the efficacy of platelet products for tissue regeneration, more in vitro studies are required. the aim of the present study was to compare the in vitro effects of plasma rich in growth factors (prgf) and platelet-rich fibrin (prf) on proliferation and viab...

Bone has a built-in electric field because of the presence of piezoelectric collagen. To date, only externally applied electric fields have been used to direct cell behavior; however, these fields are not safe or practical for in vivo use. In this work, for the first time, we use a periodic microscale electric field (MEF) built into a titanium implant to induce osteogenesis. Such a MEF is gener...

In vitro propagation of C. morifolium cv. ‘Homa’ and cv. ‘Delkash’ and wild C. coccineum via direct and indirect organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis were investigated. BAP at 0, 1, 2 and 3 mg l-1 or NAA at 0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mg l-1 concentrations were used to induce direct and indirect organogenesis of shoot tip explants. To study the callu...
