Augmented anticancer efficacy of doxorubicin-loaded polymeric nanoparticles after oral administration in a breast cancer induced animal model
(2011)The present investigation reports an extensive evaluation of in vitro and in vivo anticancer efficacy of orally administered doxorubicin-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (Dox-NPs) in a breast cancer ... -
Monostroma: the Jeweled Seaweed for Future Cultivation methods, Ecophysiology, Phylogeography and Molecular Systematics
(Lambert Academic Publishing, 2011)This thesis aims at providing a comprehensive picture of the reproductive physiology, growth, phylogeography, and phylogenetics of M. latissimum-nitidum complex in Southern Japan. A review on agronomy and utilization of ... -
Intracellular delivery of redox cycler-doxorubicin to the mitochondria of cancer cell by folate receptor targeted mitocancerotropic liposomes
(2012)Cancer cells reflect higher level of ROS in comparison to the normal cell, so they become more vulnerable to further oxidative stress induced by exogenous ROS-generating agents. Through this a novel therapeutic strategy ... -
Temperature-stratified screening of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genetic resource collections reveals very limited reproductive chilling tolerance compared to its annual wild relatives
(2012)Low reproductive chilling tolerance in chickpea impairs ovule fertilization, delaying pod set, exposing the crop to terminal drought throughout much of its distribution range. Despite this realization, little progress has ... -
Systematics and Taxonomic Keys for the Marine Green Algal Family Monostromataceae
(Nova Science Publishers, 2012)Marine green algal family Monostromataceae consists of single cell-layered green seaweeds distributed throughout the world, yet identification of it being one of the most challenging. Monostromatic green seaweeds are all ... -
Cancer phylogenetics: Computational modeling of tumor evolution
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2012)The field of phylogenetics is one of the core areas of Bioinformatics which deals with computational methods to infer evolutionary heritage of organisms and genes. While phylogenetics has been extensively utilized in ... -
Cellular uptake, intracellular trafficking and cytotoxicity of silver nanoparticles
(2012)Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are used in consumer products and wound dressings due to their antimicrobial properties. However, in addition to toxic effects on microbes, Ag NPs can also induce stress responses as well as ... -
Conflict and peace in Eurasia
(Taylor and Francis, 2012)Focusing on a range of Eurasian conflicts, including Nagorno-Karabakh, South Ossetia and Abkhazia, this book offers contemporary perspectives on the ongoing conflicts in the Eurasia, with an emphasis on the attempts towards ... -
Chromosomal location of non-hypersensitive leaf rust resistance genes in bread wheat cultivar PBW65 using microsatellite markers
(2012)Microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSRs) markers have been powerful tool for genetic mapping in wheat. Indian bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar PBW65 has shown significant level of resistance to most ... -
Insulin resistance induces a segmental difference in thoracic and abdominal aorta: Differential expression of AT1 and AT2 receptors
(2012)Objectives: The study was pursued to understand and compare the vascular reactivity to angiotensin II (Ang II) and its receptor expression in thoracic and abdominal aorta under insulin resistance. Methods: Vascular reactivity ... -
To Study the Dose and Time Dependent Effect of Human Insulin and Metformin on the Growth of Breast Cancer Cells
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)Cancer and diabetes, both are leading causes of mortality globally. Both the diseases are multifactorial and share number of common risk factors. Hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia which are the characteristic features ... -
To study the effect of insulin on advanced androgen-indpendent prostate cancer (pc-3) cells
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)Prostate cancer is one of the major causes of mortality in males over the age of fifty all over the world. Many factors including genetics and diet have been associated with the development of prostate cancer. Hyperinsulinemia ... -
MicroRNA target prediction and comparative micromics; Study different cancers- special focus on breast cancer metastasis
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)Cancer or carcinoma is uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. The transition of normal cell to cancerous cell is very complicated process and the cause of transition varies with situation. Metastasis is the main cause of ... -
Phytogenetic analysis of bacterial diversity of heavy metal affected
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)The soil of Bathinda region is affected by heavy metals due to anthropogenic activity, industrial effluent and fly ash. Three soil samples in triplicate were collected from three different places of Bathinda region, abandoned ... -
Histopathological staging in putative prostate cancer tissues and reviewing litearture of correlation between prostate specific antigen levels and prostate cancer inci. 2012.
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)Prostate cancer (PCa) remains the most significant cause of cancer specific mortality in elderly men. Asymptomatic behavior, non-modifiable risk factors and metastatic nature is the main problem of PCa. It remains clinically ... -
Effect of metform on insuln mediated proliferation of lung cancer cell lines
(Central University of Punjab, 2012)Background: The incidence of cancer in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients is a matter of concern. Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and leading cause of death in males. Smoking is the main risk factor contributing ... -
