Micropropagation protocol for Salvadora oleoides
(Northeast Forestry University, 2019)
Salvadora oleoides Decne. is a pharmaceutically important plant. Owing to poor seed formation, viability and, germination, and to anthropogenic disturbances, this species is on the verge of extinction. A reproducible ...
Plant growth promoting bacteria in agriculture: Two sides of a coin
(Elsevier, 2019)
Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) provide multiple benefits in agriculture by enhancing crop productivity and nutrient content and suppressing the growth of pathogens. Development of beneficial plant-microbe interactions ...
Pseudomonas citronellolis; a multi-metal resistant and potential plant growth promoter against arsenic (V) stress in chickpea
(Elsevier, 2019)
Soil micro-biota plays a vital role in maintaining plant growth and fitness under normal and adverse conditions. Pseudomonas is one of the most important free-living and copious genera in south-west Punjab and involved in ...
Hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress and its impact on innate immune responses in lung carcinoma A549 cells
(Springer, 2019)
The immune responses, involved in recognition of cancer-specific antigens, are of particular interest as this may provide major leads towards developing new vaccines and antibody therapies against cancer. An effective ...
Green Silver Nanoparticles for Phytopathogen Control
(Springer, 2019)
Plant diseases bring radical problem in the agriculture sector. Phytopathogens mediate diseases that pose considerable loss of yield and quality deterioration which eventually bring down the crop yield and the rural economy. ...
Structural insights into the substrate specificity of SP_0149, the substrate-binding protein of a methionine ABC transporter from Streptococcus pneumoniae
(International Union of Crystallography, 2019)
Successful pathogenesis is a cumulative effect of the virulence factors of a pathogen and its capability to efficiently utilize the available nutrients from the host. Streptococcus pneumoniae, a Gram-positive opportunistic ...
Emerging Role of Migration and Invasion Enhancer 1 (MIEN1) in Cancer Progression and Metastasis
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)
Tumor metastasis is a sequential event accounting for numerous cancer-related fatalities worldwide. The process of metastasis serially involves invasion, intravasation, extravasation, and tumor growth at the secondary site. ...
Lysine and ?-Aminoisobutyric Acid Conjugated Bioinspired Polydopamine Surfaces for the Enhanced Antibacterial Performance of the Foley Catheter
(American Chemical Society, 2019)
Microbial adhesion onto implanted devices was reduced by the immobilization of amino acid lysine and ?-aminoisobutyric acid to polydopamine functionalized PET films and Foley catheters. The polydopamine functionalized film ...
Bulbine frutescens phytochemical inhibits notch signaling pathway and induces apoptosis in triple negative and luminal breast cancer cells
(Elsevier Inc., 2019)
Breast cancer (BCa) is the most commonly diagnosed lethal cancer in women worldwide. Notch signaling pathway is directly linked to BCa recurrence and aggressiveness. Natural remedies are becoming a prime choice to overcome ...
Anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating effects of rice callus suspension culture (RCSC) and bioactive fractions in an in vitro inflammatory bowel disease model
(Elsevier GmbH, 2019)
Background: Rice callus suspension culture (RCSC) has been shown to exhibit potent antiproliferative activity in multiple cancer cell lines. RCSC and its bioactive compounds can fill the need for drugs with no side effects. ...
