The increased antibiotics usage in biomedical and agricultural settings has been well documented. Antibiotics have now shown to exert effects outside their purposive use, including on physiological developmental processes. We explored the effect of various intestinal regeneration sea cucumber Holothuria glaberrima. For this, holothurians were eviscerated left regenerate for 10 days seawater with different penicillin/streptomycin-based cocktails (100 µg/mL PS) including: 100 kanamycin (KPS),...
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life‐threatening genetic disease caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator gene. It most common among Caucasians. There an urgent need to create more therapies for since current drugs are not effective treating all that cause this disease. Furthermore, gene therapy potential treatment airway Because of this, various viral‐based transfer vectors have been evaluated their efficiency correcting phenotype. This project aimed compare side‐by‐side...
