Owing to the high interspecific biodiversity, halophytes have been regarded as a tool for understanding salt tolerance mechanisms in plants in view of their adaptation to climate change.The present study addressed the physiological response to salinity of six halophyte species common in the Mediterranean area: Artemisia absinthium, Artemisia Ice Sc
Zebrafish do not possess the typical astrocytes that are found in mammalian systems.In some brain areas, this teleost has radial glia that appears to perform astrocyte-like functions, BROWN PWD but these cells have not been described in the zebrafish olfactory bulb.Mammalian astrocytes facilitate neuroplasticity and undergo astrogliosis after insul
Introduction: Yovanpidaka, also Breast Plate known as Mukhadushika, is described under Kshudra Rogas in Ayurveda Samhitas.It can be compared with acne vulgaris.It is self-limiting in the majority but severe forms, however, lead to disfiguring scars, which can be prevented.Hence, it is essential to look out for treatment modalities which would help
To investigate the mechanisms underlying 15(S)-HETE-induced angiogenesis, we have studied the role of the small GTPase, Rac1.We find that 15(S)-HETE activated Rac1 in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMVEC) in a time-dependent manner.Blockade of Rac1 by adenovirus-mediated expression of its dominant negative mutant suppressed HRMVEC
