The present study was designed for phytochemical and antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of the whole plant Euphorbia thymifolia linn. Belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. It cures many diseases. The phytochemicals present in this methanolic extract were studied by standard Protocols and the invitro antioxidant activities were studied using different methods i.e., H2O2 scavenging activ...

Oct-4, Nanog, Nodal, Sox2, E-cadherin, and FoxD3. In addition, the cells were induced to differentiate into three somatic germ layers, germ cell progenitors and into extraembryonic lineages. This is the first demonstration that pEpiSC can be expanded invitro and that they share similar signalling mechanisms to human ESC and mouse epiblast stem cells. pEpiSC represent a valuable tool for modelli...

Chemical examination of the ethanol extract of the Indian ocean gorgonian coral Subergorgia suberosa resulted in isolation and identification of revealed compound 1 to be subergorgic acid 1 and a two bio-active analogues 2 and 7 were synthesized by the NaBH4 reduction of compound 1. The present investigation aimed to carry out invitro understanding the antioxidant,anti-inflammatory and antifung...

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are established from the inner cell mass of a preimplantation embryo, are capable of self-renewal, and exhibit pluripotency. Given these unique properties, ESCs are expected to have therapeutic potential in regenerative medicine and as a powerful tool for invitro differentiation studies of stem cells. Various growth factors and extracellular matrix components regulat...

Objective: The present study was aimed at the fabrication and characterization of solid lipid based microspheres (SLM) of Ketoprofen (KPF) and comparing its anti-inflammatory potential with the marketed formulation. Methods: Stearic acid as a lipid and tween 20, 80, span 20 and 80 as surfactants (at various concentrations) were utilized for formulation of topical delivery. Microparticles were s...

Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the precursors of the germ cell lineage. A method for the prolonged invitro culture of chicken PGCs, which retain the ability to colonise the gonad when introduced into developing embryos, has been described (van de Lavoir etal., Nature 441 (2006) 766–769). The invitro culture of PGCs provides a useful tool for the creation of transgenic chickens and investigati...
