Overview of the Biological Activity of Anthraquinons and Flavanoids of the Plant Species.

belongs to the genus and is classified as an invasive parasitic plant in agriculture. Despite other species being widely used in herbal medicine due to their antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory effects, there are almost no information about the potential of confertus for the treatment of various diseases. In this review we analyzed scientific articles revealing properties of plant's substances against cancer, diabetes, pathogenic bacterial invasions, viruses, inflammation, and oxidative stress for the past 20 years.

Zebrafish () as a Model for Understanding the Process of Caudal Fin Regeneration.

After its introduction for scientific investigation in the 1950s, the cypriniform zebrafish, , has become a valuable model for the study of regenerative processes and mechanisms. Zebrafish exhibit epimorphic regeneration, in which a nondifferentiated cell mass formed after amputation is able to fully regenerate lost tissue such as limbs, heart muscle, brain, retina, and spinal cord. The process of limb regeneration in zebrafish comprises several stages characterized by the activation of specific signaling pathways and gene expression.
