Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSelective Lymphocyte Activation and Inhibition of In Vitro Tumor Cell Growth by Novel MorphinansRicardo Gomez-Flores, Kimberly R. Vietti, William J. Dunn et al.Opioids can suppress immune functions and increase susceptibility to developing cancer and infectious diseases. Recently, novel opioid compounds have been synthesized that lack immunosuppressive effects. We evaluated the effects of morphinans with substituted pyrimidine (methyl, phenyl, hydroxy, and amino groups) and pyrazole groups on in vitro rat thymic lymphocyte and splenic macrophage functions, and tumor cell growth. We observed that … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2005 · 7,078 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Plant Growth Regulators on Callus, Cell Suspension and Cell Line Selection for Flavonoid Production from Pegaga (centella asiatica L. urban)Suat Hian Tan, Radzali Musa, Arbakariya Ariff, Mahmood MaziahProblem statement: Considering pegaga medicinal properties and over-exploitation, the requirement for a tissue culture technique as an alternative production system was crucial. Approach: Investigation of cell suspension culture response to different plant growth regulators (PRGs) for flavonoid production from elite cell line was carried out. Callus cultures were initiated from the leaf explants of Centella asiatica on Murashige and Skoog … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 11,254 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTransforming Growth Factor-β: An Indirect Inducer of Th17 Cell Differentiation both in Human and Murine SystemJ. SchumannSince their first description only some years ago Th17 cells have become of vital importance in immunological research. However, the role of TGF-β in Th17 cell development is still a matter of controversial discussion. Predicted to have a key function in Th17 cell differentiation in the mouse TGF-β was shown to inhibit IL-17 production of human CD4+ T cells. Moreover, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,575 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleApplication of a Serum/Protein-Free Medium for the Growth of Mammalian Cell Lines and High Level Production of Classical, Variant and Very Virulent Strain of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV)Ane Franciele Tapparo, Paloma Oliveira Tonietti, Maria CecÍlia R. Luvizotto, Tereza C. CardosoThe aim of this study was to verify the capacity of IBDV strains, Lukert, F52/70 and very virulent Brazilian genotype (G11) to infect and replicate on cell culture maintained without serum or protein supplementation. BHK21 and CER cells were directed adapted to growth under absence of protein and/or fetal bovine serum with addition of 5 µg mL-1 of insulin-like growth … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,656 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRole of AP-1 Antagonism in Growth Inhibition of Cervical Cancer Cell Lines by RetinoidsShennan Lu, Doris M. BenbrookRetinoid compounds induce multiple molecular effects that need to be taken into consideration in the development of theses agents as pharmaceuticals for cancer chemoprevention. Inhibition of cancer cell growth by retinoids is thought to occur through at least two mechanisms of transcriptional regulation resulting from direct binding of retinoids to nuclear retinoid receptors (RARs and RXR’s). First, the nuclear receptors … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,477 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDevelopment of Growth Medium for Centella Asiatica Cell Culture Via Response Surface MethodologyRozita Omar, M. A. Abdullah, M. A. Hasan, M. MarziahThe effects of sucrose, Indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) and 6-BenzylAminoPurine (BAP) concentrations on cell growth of Centella asiatica cell suspension culture were studied. The concentrations were designed using Central-composite experimental design and regression analysis was carried out to obtain response surface model describing cell growth for prediction of optimum conditions. Only sucrose as a single factor was positively significant for cell … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 7,204 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Electronic Cigarette E-Liquids on the Adhesion and Growth of Osteoblast CellsAna Carla Lorenz-Vieira, Cesar Augusto Magalhães Benfatti, Mahmoud RouabhiaElectronic cigarettes (E-cigarettes) were designed to replace traditional cigarettes to decrease the harmful effects of smoking. The liquid in e-cigarettes contains different chemicals, such as Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG), and may contain nicotine. To be more attractive, e-liquids are supplemented with flavorings. Because vaped e-liquids are shown to be damaging to oral tissues, similar effects could occur … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 3 · 29 Apr 2023 · 5,155 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) on Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC)Eric Mullins, Cale Forgues, Karl KingsleyDental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) are non-embryonic, mesenchymal stem cells that may have significant potential for therapeutic and regenerative biomedical applications. Studies of DPSC differentiation have demonstrated the potential to form many tissue types, including neural, osteogenic and vascular precursors using cytokines and growth factors, such as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). Eight previously isolated Dental Pulp Stem Cell (DPSC) … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 1 Jun 2019 · 13,831 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRole of Cytokines and Transcription Factors in Periodontitis: A Review of Cellular and Molecular MechanismsAnne Carolina Eleutério Leite, Valéria Martins de Araújo Carneiro, Júlia Faria Nunes et al.Periodontal Diseases (PD) are characterized by pathological manifestation of host immune response to bacterial infection at the tooth/gingival interface. Evidences points periodontitis as a risk factor for pathological systemic conditions, such as, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The identification of host factors that determine their susceptibility to immune subversion can provide useful information in the pathogenesis of periodontitis.

Leaves Dietary Supplementation Effect on Broiler Chickens’ Growth, Hematological Parameters, and Serum BiochemistryKelemin Awa Koné, Tagouèlbè Tiho, Yapo Magloire Yapi, Vama Etienne TiaThe continued overuse of synthetic antibiotics has led to microbial resistance, responsible for numerous therapeutic failures in both animal and human health. This resistance has prompted the search for natural alternatives to the use of synthetic antibiotics in the poultry sector. The essay evaluated Lippia multiflora (Lm) leaves’ effects on chickens’ growth, health, and fatty acid profile.
