Application of CRISPR-Cas9 to interrogate novel gene functions in cutaneous melanoma

Melanoma accounts for 3% of skin neoplasms and is the leading cause of death from skin disorders worldwide. The high mortality rate associated with this disease stems from the high capacity of melanoma patients to develop metastases and treatment relapse with inhibitors of the MAPK signaling pathway (suc...

Cytotoxicity Comparison of a Calcium Silicate-Based Resin Cement versus Conventional Self-Adhesive Resin Cement and a Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer: Cell Viability Analysis

Abstract Objective: To compare the cytotoxicity level of a new calcium silicate-based resin cement (TheraCem) with two commonly used cements, including a conventional self-adhesive resin cement (Panavia SA) and a resinmodified glass ionomer cement (FujiCem2), on the human gingival fibroblast cells after...

Ação antimicrobiana e antibiofilme de flavonóis isolados ou incorporados em hidrogéis termossensíveis e sua influência sobre marcadores de mineralização em células odontoblastóides para aplicação em endodontia

Ainda não foi encontrado um medicamento capaz de desinfetar os canais radiculares e permitir a recuperação celular e a regeneração tecidual em dentes permanentes jovens com comprometimento endodôntico. Dois importantes flavonóis detectados no vinho tinto, morina (MO) e miricetina (MY), são atualm...

Sideritis perfoliata inhibits cell proliferation, induces apoptosis and exhibits cellular antioxidant activity in cervical cancer cells

In this study, it was aimed to determine the antioxidant and anticancer activities of Sideritis perfoliata methanolic extract (SPE) on cervical cancer cells (HeLa). Different doses (25, 50,100 and 200 μg/mL) of SPE were used to determine proliferation of HeLa cells by 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-di...

Morphological and biochemical effects of carnosic acid on human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells

Background/aim: Autophagic cell death and apoptosis of tumor cells has become one of the main objectives in cancer treatment, whereas tumor cell lines are mainly used in studies for providing important data for the evaluation of potential anti cancer substances. In this study, our objecti...

Cinnamaldehyde and terpineol as inhibitors of Candida albicans and Enterococcus faecalis biofilms

Rev. cuba. estomatol; 58 (2), 2021
Introdução: Os fitoconstituintes são moléculas naturais que apresentam atividade antimicrobiana satisfatória e devem ser estudados quanto ao seu uso como novas substâncias para irrigação dos canais radiculares. Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito inibitório dos fitoconstituintes cinamaldeído e α-ter...

Effectiveness of different methods for the extraction of principle actives and phytochemicals content in medicinal herbals

In this present study, we investigated the influence of various extraction methods including maceration, sonication, infusion, decoction, and microwave extraction, on the chemical and biological potential of phytochemicals extracted from three medicinal plants (Ageratum conyzoides, Plantago majorand Arc...

Establishment of a production process for a novel vaccine candidate against Lawsonia intracellularis

BACKGROUND: Lawsonia intracellularis remains a problem for the swine industry worldwide. Previously, we designed and obtained a vaccine candidate against this pathogen based on the chimeric proteins: OMP1c, OMP2c, and INVASc. These proteins formed inclusion bodies when expressed in E. coli, which induced...
