Background: Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have the ability to self-renew and proliferate which gives them healing properties in various tissues. Aluminium chloride (AlCl) is a chemical compound with harmful effects on health; oxidative stress caused by Aluminium has been reported previously. Crocin, a major component of (saffron), has antioxidant properties and has shown therapeutic potential.

Background: : Exosomal RNAs (ExoRNAs) offer valuable insights into their cellular origin. ExoRNA studies were faced with challenges in obtaining sufficient amounts of high-quality RNA. Herein, we aimed to compare three traditional exosome isolation methods to introduce an appropriate strategy to extract RNA from cancer-derived exosomes for further RNA analysis.

The emergence of antibiotic resistant pathogenic strains of bacteria has necessitated the development of novel antimicrobial agents. The puroindoline A and B (PINA and PINB) proteins of wheat, well-known for their roles in determining the important phenotype of grain texture, are also antimicrobial, making them attractive as natural bio-control agents. However, the biochemical basis of PIN functionality remains unclear due to limitations in expressing them at the required yield and purity and lack of accurate tertiary structure.
