Effects of 2.4 GHz radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) on glioblastoma cells (U -118 MG).

Introduction And Objective: Mobile phones and Wi-Fi are the most commonly used forms of telecommunications. Initiated with the first generation, the mobile telephony is currently in its fifth generation without being screened extensively for any biological effects that it may have on humans or on animals. Some studies indicate that high frequency electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile phone and Wi-Fi connection can have a negative effect upon human health, and can cause cancer, including brain tumour.

In Vitro Evidence of Selective Pro-Apoptotic Action of the Pure Cannabidiol and Cannabidiol-Rich Extract.

Plant cannabinoids, secondary metabolites of species belonging to the genus, can mimic the endocannabinoids' action and exert biological effects. Considering the contribution of the endocannabinoid system in cell cycle and apoptotic regulation, there is an interest in exploring the potential anti-cancer activities of natural and synthetic cannabinoids. Cannabidiol (CBD), an abundant plant cannabinoid, reveals a low affinity to cannabinoid receptors and, contrary to various cannabinoids, lacks psychoactive action.

Analysis of the Impact of Ethanol Extract of L. on Human Fibroblast Cell Cultures Using the PANsys 3000 Device for Breeding and Visualization of Cells.

L. promotes wound healing and might be effective in gingival fibroblast stimulation. The influence of different concentrations of L.

Influence of Three Laser Wavelengths with Different Power Densities on the Mitochondrial Activity of Human Gingival Fibroblasts in Cell Culture.

Phototherapy plays a key role in wound healing and tissue regeneration. The use of lasers has the potential to become an effective and minimally invasive treatment in periodontal and peri-implant disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of three laser wavelengths with the combination of parameters such as power density and energy density on human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) in vitro culture.

Simulated hypoxic conditions from psoriatic arthritis cartilage change plasminogen activating system urokinase and serpine functionality. Reversal of antiapoptotic protection suggests common homeostatic buffering.

Introduction: Rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis are both characterised by synovial destruction associated with a higher turnover of the extracellular matrix. In both conditions, inflammatory processes create hypoxic environments which destabilise members of the plasminogen activating system.

Aim: Comparing the effect of bioactive concentrations of urokinase (uPA) and serpine (PAI-1) on cellular survival of human fibroblast-like-synoviocytes (HFLS) in rich and hypoxic growth media.

Effect of injectable equine collagen type I on metabolic activity and apoptosis of gingival fibroblasts.

Collagen as a biomaterial is widely used for tissue regeneration due to various advantages including its biodegradation, biocompatibility, and low allergenicity. Along with aesthetic medicine development, collagen is also used in the injectable form as a tissue biostimulator. The area of our study was collagen's impact on fibroblast activity and apoptosis.

Morphological and cytophysiological changes in selected lines of normal and cancer human cells under the influence of a radio-frequency electromagnetic field.

Introduction: Currently, mobile phones and Wi-Fi are the most commonly used forms of telecommunication. The popularity of mobile telecommunications has made it necessary to investigate the problem more comprehensively and cautiously assess the possible risks, because never before in history has such a substantial proportion of the population been exposed to microwaves at comparably high levels. Some studies indicate that the high frequency electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile phone and Wi-Fi connections can have a negative effect on human health, and can cause cancer.

Cannabinoids in Medicine: Cancer, Immunity, and Microbial Diseases.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in the medical applications of plants. They owe their unique properties to a group of secondary metabolites known as phytocannabinoids, which are specific for this genus. Phytocannabinoids, and cannabinoids generally, can interact with cannabinoid receptors being part of the endocannabinoid system present in animals.

Application of Genetically Engineered Pigs in Biomedical Research.

Progress in genetic engineering over the past few decades has made it possible to develop methods that have led to the production of transgenic animals. The development of transgenesis has created new directions in research and possibilities for its practical application. Generating transgenic animal species is not only aimed towards accelerating traditional breeding programs and improving animal health and the quality of animal products for consumption but can also be used in biomedicine.

The production of UL16-binding protein 1 targeted pigs using CRISPR technology.

Two sgRNAs were designed to target the region of exon 2 of the pULBP1 gene by microinjection. The co-injection of modified Cas9-D10A nickase with a pair of sgRNAs into the zygote's cytoplasm easily and efficiently generated biallelic modification of the pULBP1 gene in one step. Five out of nine F0 generation piglets showed insertions or deletions in the targeting site of the pULBP1 gene, indicating that pULBP1 mutation efficiency reached about 56% (5/9).
