Elghuol, Khalilah Abdul Khalil, Mazatulikhma Mat Zain, Mohamed Saifulaman Mohamed SaidNatural products have played a significant role in conventional treatment and in the development of new drugs for a wide range of illnesses, including malignant disease. Urginea maritima is classified as an herb is endemic to the Mediterranean area. This herb was renowned in traditional ethnopharmacological applications. Notwithstanding, there is a lack of evidence pertaining to the characterization of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 28 May 2016 · 7,345 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSerum Adenosine Deaminase Level in Iraqi Women with Toxoplasmosis with a History of AbortionAhmed H. AL-Khafaji, Tarik I. AL-Jeboori, Ameena S.M. JumaSixty women who had abortion were selected for this study. Serum was collected from the women. ELISA test was used to detect anti-Toxoplasma specific antibodies. Those women were divided into three groups according to the presence or absence of specific anti-Toxoplasma antibodies. These groups included the women with IgG (18), the women with IgM (14) and the women with both … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 8 Jan 2016 · 13,390 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiological Active Substance Changes of Soybean Curd Residue Fermented by Preussia aemulans and its BioactivityYiting Li, Shili Meng, Min Shi, Zhenya ZhangA new species of fungus Preussia aemulans isolated from the Cordyceps sinensis fruiting body was cultured by soybean curd residue using solid-state fermentation method. The content of polysaccharide, amino acid, protein, phenolics and nucleoside were massively improved under the optimum conditions, including 10% adding dosage of glucose, 3% adding dosage of beef extract, 15 days of fermentation time. The crude … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2016 · 7,453 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Biological Evaluation of 6-Hydroxy-4-Methyl-5,7-(Bis-p-ChlorophenylAzo) CoumarinDalal M. Ibrahim, Juliana Jumal, Farah Wahida Harun6-hydroxy-4-methyl-5,7-(bis-p-chlorophenylazo)coumarinhas been synthesized and characterizedby CHN elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H-NMR-spectroscopy andmass-spectral data. Cytotoxic screening by MTT assay was carried out on the compoundagainst breast cancer cells. The overall results from preliminary screeningprogram revealed that the cell proliferation was highly inhibited by 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-5,7-(bis-p-chlorophenylazo)coumarin with the value of 2.81%, at concentration of 30 µg mL-1 comparedwith the untreated control cells and also … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 21 Dec 2015 · 7,670 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAre we Able to Harness the Immunomodulatory Power of Cytokines for Novel Autoimmune Disease Treatments?Giuseppe Nocentini, Graziella Migliorati, Carlo RiccardiSince the end of the 1970s, interleukin 2 (IL-2) has been known as a key player in T cell expansion/activation (Watson et al., 1980). In the late 1980s, some groups used IL-2 to stimulate the immune systems of tumour patients (Jacobs et al., 1986). The idea seemed brilliant and several attempts were made, but the results were disappointing (Lim et … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 22 Oct 2015 · 7,625 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of two Different Culture Media on the Proliferation of Dental Pulp Stem Cells: Bovine Fetal Serum and Platelet LysateGiuseppe Cicero, Veena Nanda, Irene MartiniMesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have been isolated from a variety of fetal and adult tissues and are considered an ideal source for cell-based therapy due to their unique properties such as multipotency and immunomodulatory functions. The aim of this work is to observe, analyze and investigate the morphology and proliferation of human dental pulp stem cells cultured in two different … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 17 Sep 2015 · 7,461 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPassage Effect on Aging of Human Umbilical Cord Derived Mesenchymal Stem CellDian Mediana, Isabella Kurnia Liem, Jeanne Adiwinata Pawitan, Noviyanti GoeiTo be used in regenerative medicine, cells should be checked for various conditions, including cell aging. This study aimed to learn senescent profile and its relation to cell viability, proliferation and cell size in various passages, which were done in α-MEM-10% PRP medium, until senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) positive cells were found. Stem cells were isolated from umbilical cord tissue by … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 31 Jul 2015 · 8,039 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrenatal Ethanol Exposure Affects the Proliferation and Differentiation of the Osteoblasts from Newborn RatsIsabel Chaves Silva Carvalho, Dennia Perez de Andrade, Noala Vicensoto Moreira Milhan et al.Alcohol exerts teratogenic effects and its consumption during pregnancy may cause various alterations in the fetus, including deficit of bone development. The objective of this study was to evaluate the initial responses, on osteoblasts isolated from newborn rat calvaria, after prenatal ethanol exposure. Nine pregnant rats were divided into three groups according to the diet fed during pregnancy: Rats fed … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 14 Jul 2015 · 6,704 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Platelet Rich Plasma on Post Cryopreservation Viability, Morphology and Proliferation of Human Umbilical Cord Stem CellsNoviyanti Goei, Isabella Kurnia Liem, Jeanne Adiwinata Pawitan, Dian MedianaIn most cryopreservation medium, Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is used as supplement, while it is well known that FBS contains xenoproteins that can be incorporated into the cells and may be harmfull, as they can elicit immune response. Therefore, finding other xenofree materials as FBS alternative in cryopreservation medium is very important. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is albumin rich and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2015 · 7,386 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Short Term in vitro Stress Hormone Exposure on Regulatory T Cell Number and Function in AsthmaKristina E. Rehm, Gailen D. Marshall, Jr.Asthma is characterized by alterations in the immune system, including regulatory T cells (Treg). Further alterations in Treg numbers and/or function caused by stress hormones may be a contributing factor in asthma pathogenesis. We compared Treg populations and the effects of Dexamethasone (DEX, a laboratory analog of cortisol) on Treg cell number and function in patients with asthma and a … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 24 Apr 2015 · 6,608 accessesView PDF Cite
