Methanol extract from Vietnamese Caesalpinia sappan induces apoptosis in HeLa cells

Biol. Res; 47 (), 2014
BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the cytotoxic activity of extracts from Caesalpinia sappan heartwood against multiple cancer cell lines using an MTT cell viability assay. The cell death though induction of apoptosis was as indicated by DNA fragmentation and caspase-3 enzyme activation. RESULTS: A methan...

Apoptosis in HEp-2 cells infected with Ureaplasma diversum

Biol. Res; 47 (), 2014
BACKGROUND: Bacterial pathogens have many strategies for infecting and persisting in host cells. Adhesion, invasion and intracellular life are important features in the biology of mollicutes. The intracellular location ofUreaplasma diversum may trigger disturbances in the host cell. This includes activat...
