Chitin- and chitosan-based materials have been increasingly used in various scientific advancements specifically in the field of nanotechnology for their therapeutic potential. They are biopolymeric polysaccharides with ...

Since the discovery of cellular senescence in 1961, numerous studies have investigated the role of senescent cells in the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases. Cellular senescence, defined by irreversible cell cycle arrest, ...

Several clinical studies indicated that the daily use of aspirin or acetylsalicylic acid reduces the cancer risk via cyclooxygenases (Cox-1 and Cox-2) inhibition. In addition, aspirin-induced Cox-dependent and -independent ...

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most serious public health issues facing humans since the discovery of antimicrobial agents. The frequent, prolonged, and uncontrolled use of antimicrobial agents are major factors ...

The FOXO (Forkhead box O) transcription factors are implicated in several signaling pathways and play a vital role in various cellular and physiological processes include for instance, ROS (reactive oxygen species) response, ...

Hydrate formation in seafloor pipelines is considered an economic and flow assurance issue for the oil and gas industries. Ionic liquids (ILs) have been recently used as potential hydrate inhibitors. Although branded as ...

Today, the cell phone is the most widespread technology globally. However, the outcome of cell-phone radiofrequency on head and neck cancer progression has not yet been explored. The chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) and human ...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that can differentiate into various cell types such as cartilage, bone, and fat cells. Recent studies have shown that induction of MSCs in vitro by growth factors including ...

Cardiac remodeling, characterized by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, predisposes the heart to failure if left unresolved. Understanding the signaling mechanisms involved in excessive extracellular matrix ...

Investigations of teratogenic effects of drugs generally involve testing the drug on animals and zebrafish embryo is a commonly used animal model for that purpose. In these studies, cardiovascular function of the animals ...
