lectins first discovered more than 100 years ago in plants, they are now known to be present throughout nature. phytohemagglutinin (pha), the lectin extract from the red kidney bean ( phaseolus vulgaris ), contain potent, cell agglutinating and mitogenic activities. they play a role in biological recognition phenomena involving cells and proteins towards medical applications. the present articl...

introduction: listeria monocytogenes is a serious concern for the food industry due to its high case fatality rate, widespread distribution, ability to survive a wide variety of food processing conditions, and the severity of the illness associated with this pathogen infection. the objective of this study was to determine the growth, cell morphology and biochemical characteristics of l. monocyt...

Recent findings in stem cell biology have opened a new window in regenerative medicine. The endometrium possesses mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) called endometrial stem cells (EnSCs) having specific regenerative properties linked to adult stem cells. They contribute in tissue remodeling and engineering and were shown to have immuno-modulating effects. Many clinical trials were undertaken to asce...

the interaction of radiation with cells and tissues has a random nature. therefore, understanding the random nature of cell killing that is determined by poisson distribution statistics is an essential point in education of radiation biology. radbiostat is a newly developed educational matlab-based software designed for computer-assisted learning of the target theory in radiation biology. altho...

journal of cell and molecular research (jcmr) was first published in 2008 as the first journal in the field of cell and molecular biology research. the need for the establishment of jcmr was felt as a platform for the young cell and molecular biology researchers under the supervision of respective experts. jcmr was established to focus on almost all fields of cell and molecular research and som...
