In this study, we showed that alantolactone (ALT) hold the capacity to suppress stem-cell-like phenotype (SCLP) of glioblastoma cells. ALT inhibited the growth, reduced mammosphere formation and down-regulated the expression of CSC...

...he antral stages. Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9), which is secreted by oocytes, is a paracrine factor that plays a vital role in follicular development. We performed a computational biology analysis to determine the role of GFD9 in mammalian ovarian function. We constructed a three-dimensional model of GDF9 using I-TASSER and human GDF9 protein sequences obtained from UniProt. We also analyzed GDF9 gene expression levels using GENEVESTIGATOR. Furthermo...

...DEGs were primarily cell differentiation, reproduction and biological regulation. The associated gene functions were related to organelle, cell membrane and cell structure in cell component processes and for molecular function, the genes were related to protein binding, catalytic activity and cell proliferation. Moreover, these DEGs were enriched in the categories of signal transduction, reproductive system, endocrine system and cancer-related pathways and lin...

However, there is no clarity on whether the activity patterns of the sympatric species red-bellied squirrels (Callosciurus erythraeus) and Northern tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri) overlap; knowledge on the coexistence mechanism of these animals in the karst habitat is also minimal. Herein, we used camera traps to collect photos and research the acti...

...and (hsa04659) Th17 cell differentiation pathways having STAT6, IL4, and IL13 genes having contribution in asthma. A network of appropriately matched proteins was provided by the string that was further utilized for centrality-measurement which ranked the thirteen most persuasive genes from top to bottom as IL10, IL4, ORMDL3, IL13, MS4A2, ADAM33, STAT6, GSDMA, IKZF3, LRRC3C, IL27, CD14, and ACE. This study enlightens the significantly associated asthma genes i...

In the present study, we aimed to determine the activity of NO during the early and late critical periods of structural and functional maturation of the central nervous system (CNS). In this study, we focused on the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, striatum, and hypothalamus of male and female “Wistar” rat pups, as these areas have differential dev...

Information on the pattern of coexistence among sympatric species is vital to provide specific conservation measures and management. This study focuses on the spatial-temporal niche differentiation strategy adopted by black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus bieti) and rhesus...

... blood cells. Cluster of differentiation (CD)34 is a known surface marker for identification of primitive human erythroid progenitor cells including EPCs. CD34+ cells can be isolated from peripheral blood samples using magnetic-assisted cell sorting (MACS) or by flowcytometry-mediated cell sorting. There are no reported studies from South Asia in which CD34+-derived EPCs have been isolated and purified from the peripheral blood samples obtained from healthy ad...
