background: in this feasibility study, a mechanically loaded in-vitro tissue culture model of joint morphogenesis using the isolated lower extremity of the 8 day old chick embryo was developed to assess the effects of mechanical loading on joint morphogenesis. methods: the developed in-vitro system allows controlled flexion and extension of the chick embryonic knee with a range of motion of 20 ...

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...

background: endometriosis is the presence of endometrial glandular and stromal cells outside of the uterine cavity. our previous study showed that in vitro culture of human endometrial tissue in a three-dimensional (3d) fibrin matrix could mimic the early stages of endometriosis with invasion gland and stroma formation and sprouting of new vessels. objective: the objective of the present study ...

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...

plantlets grown in conventional tissue culture systems usually encounter physiological and anatomical abnormalities including inability to photosynthesize, low chlorophyll content, open stomata, lack of a cuticle layer in the leaf, abnormal xylem parenchyma etc. photoautotrophic and photomixotrophic systems could diminish these problems. the purpose of this study was to increase the chlorophyll...

taxus chinensis var. mairei is a rare and endangered medicinal plant species distributed in china. in order to promote fast propagation and preserve the natural resources, conditions for in vitro germination and seedling development of embryos of t. chinensis var. mairei from anhui or zhejiang were investigated. results showed that in vitro germination rate of excised embryos cultured under 14 ...

background :wide distribution and low half-life of acyclovir has led to a high dose consumption of the drug. recent studies have shown that encapsulation of acyclovir in nano-carriers can increase effectiveness and decrease its side effects. we investigated the inhibitory effect of acyclovir loaded nano-niosomes against herpes simplex virus type-1 (hsv-1) in cell culture.   methods : in-vitro c...
