Astaxanthin is a highly potent antioxidant which can be extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis when cultivated and induced at high stress conditions. Due to astaxanthin's hydrophobicity, methoxypolyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone (mPEG-PCL) copolymer was synthesized form polymeric micelles for the encapsulation of astaxanthin. Astaxanthin-loaded were then used examine effects on proliferation differentiation human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Dynamic light scattering (DLS) Fourier...

The compound 5’-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5’-DFUR) is a prodrug of the anti-tumor drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Thymidine phosphorylase (TP) an enzyme that can convert 5’-DFUR to its active form 5-FU and expression TP upregulated in various cancer cells. In this study, associated with amphiphilic copolymer poly(ε-caprolactone)-methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (5’-DFUR-PCL-MPEG) was synthesized, characterized, self-assembled into functional polymeric micelles. To demonstrate could cytotoxic (5-FU) by...

Transgenic soybean, cotton, and maize tolerant to protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (PPO)-inhibiting herbicides have been developed by introduction of a bacterial-derived PPO targeted into the chloroplast. is membrane-associated protein with an intrinsic tendency for aggregation, making expression, purification, formulation at high concentrations difficult. In this study, transgenic expressed in three crops was demonstrated exhibit up 13 amino acid sequence difference N-terminus due differential...

Pistachios beneficially affect the lipid/lipoprotein profile, however, less is known about their potential anti-inflammatory effects. The present study was conducted to better understand effects of pistachio oil (PO) on inflammation. Mouse macrophages (RAW 264.7 cells) were treated with PO (5.5 mg/ml) and gene expression microarray analyses performed. Our results showed that a total 43 genes significantly regulated by treatment. Interferon-induced protein tetratricopeptide repeats (Ifit)...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been extensively studied for photothermal ablation of malignant cells due to their ability absorb near-infrared (NIR) laser light and convert it thermal energy the lysis tumor cells. Functionalizing CNTs with tumor-targeting moieties can facilitate delivery sites. Instead using targeting moieties, mesenchymal stem (MSCs) considered as vehicles deliver therapeutic agents cancer In this study, effects attaching MSCs on cell migration in response a chemotactic...
