Scaffold free-spheroids derived from stem cells for tissue engineering applications
Abstract Tissue engineering has gained attention in the past decade due to its efficient interaction with the host system and potential therapeutic capabilities. Although scaffold-based approaches provide much needed mechanical strength and support to the regenerating tissue, they also invite…
Dental Tissue−Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Applications in Tissue Engineering
Abstract In recent years, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from dental tissue have gained in popularity for tissue-engineering and regenerative medicine applications. The highly proliferative and self-renewing population of dental stem cells has the neural crest as their origin. This…
Gloriosa superba Mediated Synthesis of Platinum and Palladium Nanoparticles for Induction of Apoptosis in Breast Cancer
Abstract Green chemistry approaches for designing therapeutically significant nanomedicine have gained considerable attention in the past decade. Herein, we report for the first time on anticancer potential of phytogenic platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) and palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) using a medicinal plant…
Bacillus clausii inhibits bone loss by skewing Treg-Th17 cell equilibrium in postmenopausal osteoporotic mice model
Abstract ObjectivesPostmenopausal osteoporosis is one of most commonly occurring skeletal diseases leading to bone loss and fragility. Probiotics have been associated with various immunomodulatory properties and thus can be exploited to enhance bone health. In the present study, we report,…
Lactobacillus acidophilus inhibits bone loss and increases bone heterogeneity in osteoporotic mice via modulating Treg-Th17 cell balance
Abstract Osteoporosis is one of the most important but often neglected bone disease associated with aging and postmenopausal condition leading to bone loss and fragility. Probiotics have been associated with various immunomodulatory properties and have the potential to ameliorate several…
Novel Anticancer Platinum and Palladium Nanoparticles from Barleria prionitis
Abstract Nanomedicines are emerging outcomes of nanobiotechnology which have promising pharmaceutical applications. Although there are various physical and chemical methods for synthesis of nanoparticles, most of them involve hazardous and toxic chemicals. Thus, there is a continuously growing need for…
Immunomodulatory Effects of Food Additives
Abstract Food items that are unprocessed and do not contain preservatives, artificial colours, chemicals, fillers, artificial flavours etc are called as Natural foods. Natural foods are the best source of nutrition and health. Substances added to natural food to preserve…
Gloriosa superba Mediated Synthesis of Silver and Gold Nanoparticles for Anticancer Applications
Abstract Designing of novel environmentally benign route for synthesis of nanoparticles is a prerequisite for developing nanomedicine. Medicinal plants serve as rich source of diverse phytochemicals which not only synthesize but also stabilize the bioreduced nanoparticles. Herein we report for…
Novel platinum–palladium bimetallic nanoparticles synthesized by Dioscorea bulbifera: anticancer and antioxidant activities.
Abstract Medicinal plants serve as rich sources of diverse bioactive phytochemicals that might even take part in bioreduction and stabilization of phytogenic nanoparticles with immense therapeutic properties. Herein, we report for the first time the rapid efficient synthesis of novel…
