Wild Lettuce The present investigation reports effects of disinfectants on culture contamination, seed germination and seedling growth in eggplant.Mercuric chloride hampers seed germination when seeds are treated with 0.1% solution above 2 min duration and lesser durations are not helpful in controlling in vitro contamination.The highest seed germi
Novel Small-Molecule Treatment and Emerging Biological Therapy for Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an immune-related disorder that is marked by abnormal thickening of the skin, the rapid multiplication of keratinocytes, and complex interactions between immune cells and the affected areas.Although psoriasis cannot currently be cured, drugs can alleviate symptoms by regulating immune homeostasis and preventing comorbidities.There are
The Rebirth of Matrix Metalloproteinase Inhibitors: Moving Beyond the Dogma
The pursuit of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors began in earnest over three decades ago.Initial clinical trials were disappointing, resulting in a negative view of MMPs as therapeutic targets.As a better understanding of MMP biology and inhibitor pharmacokinetic properties emerged, it became clear that initial MMP inhibitor clinical trials
Dopaminergic challenge dissociates learning from primary versus secondary sources of information
Some theories of human cultural evolution posit that humans have social-specific learning mechanisms that are adaptive specialisations moulded by natural selection to cope with the pressures of group living.However, the existence of neurochemical pathways that are specialised for learning from social information and individual experience is widely
Serum HSF1 is upregulated in endometriosis patients and serves as a potential diagnostic biomarker
Abstract Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent gynecological condition lacking reliable diagnostic biomarkers.This prospective study aimed to analyze the potential of serum heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) as a diagnostic marker for EMS.Clinical features of 92 EMS patients and 52 controls were recorded, revealing significant differences in dys
