cytokinin/inflammation

Micropropagation through cotyledonary and leaf node and boswellic acid production in stem callus of a woody medicinal endangered tree species Boswellia serrata Roxb. is reported. The response for shoots, roots and callus formation were varied in cotyledonary and leafy nodal explants from in vitro

Plant stress hormones (Phytohormones/PTH) are abundantly present in numerous vascular plants. Several classes of plant stress hormones like auxins (AU) & gibberellins (GA), cytokinins (CK), abscisic acid (ABA), ethylene (ET), salicylic acid (SA), jasmonates (JA), brassinosteroids (BR) and

The integrity of the collagen network and the proteoglycans is essential for the maintenance of the mechanical properties of cartilage. In spite of a slow turnover, cartilage is able to modify the synthesis of its matrix and has reparative powers. Chondrocytes also possess the enzymes necessary for

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of topical 4HBAP (para-topolin [6-(4-hydroxybenzylamino) purine], a new aromatic cytokinin, in subjects with mild to moderate facial photodamage. METHODS In this single-center, 12-week study subjects (n=39) applied topical 0.10% 4HBAP (the test

Cytokinin nucleosides exhibit antitumor, antiviral, antiprotozoal, blood pressure reducing, anti-inflammatory, and antipsychotic activity. These compounds also influence platelet aggregation and exhibit some other biological activities. Cytokinins are N6-substituted adenines and represent an

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronically inflammatory disease of the articular synovial, with severe, progressive and irreversible articular destruction. RA pathogeny implies an autoimmune mechanism, the role of cytokines resulting from the exaggerated production of some cytokines that act as

Metabolic syndrome is characterized by the co-occurrence of diverse symptoms initiating the development of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and a variety of comorbid diseases. The complex constellation of numerous comorbidities makes it difficult to develop common therapeutic approaches

The paper deals with the study of production of tumour necrosis factor (TNF), the key mediator of inflammation and immune responses of the organism, under experimental and staphylococcus infection (Staphylococcus aureus, st. 209) on mice of C57B16 line. It is established that staphylococcus

Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease determined and influenced by many factors genetic, environmental, endocrine, psychological and immunological. Immunological mechanisms (hyperexpression of class II HLA antigens, cytokinin anomalies, functional deficiencies of certain lymphocyte categories,

145 patients (60 with phlegmons of submandibular and submental regions, 85--with fractures of mandible) were observed and treated with the use of moving pulse magnetic field (MPMF) produced by special apparatus (AMO-ATOS-E, <>, Saratov-city), 60 patients with the same pathology were treated

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is on the increase in developing countries, where lifestyle choices such as smoking, bad diet, and no exercise contribute and increase the incidence of high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels to cause CHD. Through utilization of a biomarker-based approach for

BACKGROUND Knowledge of hemodynamic factors accounting for the development of hypertension should help to tailor therapeutic approaches and improve blood pressure control. Few data exist regarding sex differences of hemodynamic factors contributing to hypertension progression among patients with

The high-affinity cAMP-binding site of form-II yeast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase has a marked specificity for adenosine derivatives, such ligands including N6-substituted adenosine derivatives active as cytokinins n plant systems and adenine nucleotides. Of a wide range of nucleotides

Classical techniques for studying modulations of microvascular permeability have a time resolution of minutes. A newly developed method allows continuous measurement of the electrical resistance of the microvascular membrane in vivo (Olesen & Crone 1983). The technique exploits microelectrodes

Neutrophil growth factors (NGFs) stimulate neutrophil growth and survival. The first synthetic cytokinin-derived NGF was recently discovered and is a prospective drug owing to its potential use in anti-inflammatory therapy. The metabolism of some cytokinin-derived drugs (e.g. R-roscovitine,
