In plant biotechnology, tissue culture, and stress physiology studies, knowing whether cells are alive or dead is essential for interpreting experimental results. ...
The evaluation of cardiovascular toxicity is a significant challenge in drug development. Preclinical evaluation of cardiovascular safety involves a multifaceted approach, encompassing a plethora of in vitro and in vivo endpoints. These assessments continuously evolve, aiming to mitigate the incidence of cardiovascular toxicity that may emerge during clinical trials. To shed light on the ...
Each of these classes has distinct roles in the immune response and cellular communication. One of the remarkable properties of cytokines is their multipotency; a single cytokine can act on multiple cell types, influencing various biological responses. ...
Precision-Cut Lung Slices (PCLS) have emerged as a innovative ex vivo model that allows researchers to explore deep into lung physiology, disease mechanisms, and pharmacological responses. By offering a unique combination of biological complexity and controlled experimental conditions, PCLS serve as a critical bridge between the limitations of traditional in ...
Elastase is a powerful enzyme that plays a critical role in various biological processes, both in physiological and pathological contexts. It belongs to the family of serine proteases, which are enzymes characterized by a unique serine residue in their active site. ...
The cardiopulmonary system is recognized as one of the most essential physiological systems in the human body, with the responsibility of efficiently distributing blood and oxygen to every organ. ...
One of the key benefits of developing rare disease animal models is their ability to mimic human physiology and pathophysiology. Researchers can induce and replicate specific rare diseases in animals by using genetic manipulation techniques, exposing them to various environmental factors, or incorporating specific gene mutations. ...
In certain circumstances, constitutive overexpression may lead to artifacts that could distort the intended physiological response. In such instances, IESCLs provide a regulated environment to monitor transient phenotypic responses. This ultimately allows for gene expressions to be modulated, granting precise insights into the subtleties of ...
Characteristics of Cytokines (1) Multipotency: Cytokines exhibit the ability to interact with different cell types, exerting their effects across a wide spectrum of cellular targets. (2) Overlap: There is often functional similarity or identity between two or more cytokines, leading to analogous biological effects. (3) Synergism: Certain cytokines are capable of enhancing the ...
In medicine, taking a holistic approach means treating the whole person - body, mind, spirit, and emotions - to achieve one’s optimal health and wellness. For example, if a patient comes in with a sharp, jabbing pain in his hand - a symptom of peripheral neuropathy - a holistic treatment plan may not only include pain relief medicine but also address underlying causes of pain. A holistic ...
It is controlled by our ANS or autonomic nervous system which is responsible for key physiological functions such as breathing and digestion. ...

With the current in vivo animal models, it is difficult to determine the mechanism of action of physiologic responses that translate to human medicine, as there are too many variables that can confound a researcher’s ability to draw definitive conclusions. Physiologic Relevance of Immortalized Cell Lines One alternative to in vivo animal ...
The Pearl River estuary, southern China, suffers from multiple sources of metal contamination as a result of the rapid industrial development in the region; but the biological impacts of contamination remain unknown. In the present study, a euryhaline oyster, Crassostrea hongkongensis, was collected from different sites of the Pearl River estuary; and various physiological (heart rate, ...
Changes in tissue transcriptomes and productivity of Arabidopsis thaliana were investigated during exposure of plants to two widely used engineered metal oxide nanoparticles, titanium dioxide (nano‐titanium) and cerium dioxide (nano‐cerium). Microarray analyses confirmed that exposure to either nanoparticle altered the transcriptomes of rosette leaves and roots, with comparatively larger ...
“What [Kriegel] is talking about is actually the next level where it isn’t necessarily purely pathogenic bacteria that trigger these responses,” said Silverman, who was not involved in the new study. ...
Autonomic system responses were measured with skin blood flow variations. Results from skin blood flow variations are presented and indicate a high correlation between the duration and amplitude of the response with the self-reported intensity and pleasantness of the stimulus. It also shows that physiological measurements enable the significant ...
Nickel can be gathered in agronomic soils by anthropogenic actions such as Ni-Cd batteries. In this study, the growth, physiological, photosynthetic and biochemical responses of Spinacia oleracea grown in Ni-spiked soil (0, 25, 50 and 100 mg Ni/Kg soil) at three levels of cotton-sticks-derived biochar “CSB” (0, 3 and 5 %) were evaluated. The results ...
A simulator study with 30 participants was conducted in which auditory icons were contrasted to abstract earcon sounds in more or less imminent collision scenarios and 3D sounds were tested against monophonic sounds in lane change scenarios. Self–report and physiological measures of emotional response as well as behavioural measures (e.g., brake ...
Knowledge of fruit physico–chemical properties and physiological responses is important for the design and development of appropriate postharvest handling and storage systems to reduce losses and maintain quality. ...
Different irrigation methods in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) result in different water and nutrient use efficiencies and, ultimately, plant growth. A field experiment was conducted during the 2006–2007 and 2007–2008 crop cycles to investigate the effects of furrow irrigated raised bed planting and the effects of flood irrigated conventional planting on growth and productivity in winter wheat. In ...
