Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUpdates on Nutritional Diversity in Sphenostylis stenocarpa (Hoechst ex. A. Rich.) Harms. for Food Security and ConservationCatherine Veronica Nnamani, Sunday Adesola Ajayi, Happiness Ogba Oselebe et al.Neglected and underutilized plant genetic resources constitute opportunity for diversification of food and environmental services globally, particularly within communities in developing country. They can provide, in some cases, higher nutrient content than traditional globally accepted staples commonly consumed. Currently, with climate uncertainty and the desire and challenge for sustainably produced food, there is an urgent need to promote crop diversity. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 10 Jul 2018 · 9,337 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtective Role of Chichorium intybus Extract Against Renal Toxicity Induced by Magnetite Silver Nanoparticles in Male RatsDoha M. Beltagy, Ehab Tousson, Nabiha I Abdo, Batoul M. IzzularabMagnetite silver nanoparticles (Fe3O4/AgNPs) symbolize a new candidate in several industrial and biological products for their activities, simple preparation and low synthesis costs. Many studies recommended the usage of Fe3O4/AgNPs to overcome lacking biocompatibility of AgNPs inside the body. However, Fe3O4/AgNPs also has toxic effects on kidney tissues. In this study, AgNPs was synthesized on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 15 Sep 2021 · 6,323 accessesView PDF Cite

Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractAnalyses of the Interleukin32 Transcript Variants in Breast Cancer Cell LinesKayla Burrell, Audrey PlayerRecent data show the IL32 gene has at least nine transcript variants. The aim of this current study is to characterize the different transcript variants based on the latest sequencing data deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and determine which variants are responsible for the differential pattern of gene expression previously observed in MCF7 compared to MDA … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2016 · 6,954 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Nf-Kappa and HDCA and Implication of Oxidative Stress in Airway Inflammation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseGhada A. Abdallah, Nevine M. Abd-Elfattah, Hala M. Ghanem et al.Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), due to its effect on proinflammatory gene transcription. Oxidants/antioxidants imbalance is responsible for disease development. The study was designed to assess oxidative stress and inflammation in COPD patients. The level of TNF-α and IL-8 in sputum and BAL were compared. NF-κB and HDAC were measured in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 4 Dec 2014 · 6,839 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAPPLYING BLACK-BOX TESTING TO MODEL TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE MODEL DRIVEN ARCHITECTURE CONTEXTLuciane Telinski Wiedermann Agner, Inali Wisniewski Soares, Jean Marcelo Simao, Paulo Cézar StadziszTesting model transformations has played a leading role with the dissemination of MDA in software development processes. Software testing based on black-box testing, together with the &#34category partitioning&#34 method, can be efficiently used in order to conduct the verification of model transformations.
