Phycosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Cladophora Glomerata and Evaluation of Their Ability to Inhibit the Proliferation of MCF-7 and L20B Cell Lines.

Background: Nanotechnology is receiving greater attention these days as a result of its applications in numerous industrial, medical, and environmental fields.

Objective: To synthesize silver nanoparticles with a green alga, Cladophora glomerata, and determine their inhibitory activity against tumor cell (MCF-7) and transgenic mouse cell (L20B) lines.

Materials And Methods: Methanol extract was prepared from Cladophora glomerata and used as a safe factory for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs).

The Anticancer Properties of Artemisia aucheri Boiss Extract on HT29 Colon Cancer Cells.

Background: Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, and efforts toward its treatment have not been completely successful. In recent years, more attention has been focused on herbal medicine (HM) due to their anticancer and cytotoxic properties. This study investigated the anticancer and antioxidant effects of Artemisia aucheri (A.

Polycystic ovary syndrome dependency on mtDNA mutation; copy Number and its association with insulin resistance.

Objective: Study analyzes mutation in mtDNA (Mitochondrial DNA) among diabetic women with PCOS in non-diabetic diabetic women and compared with the healthy control. Women with known case of hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction and/or polycystic ovaries were selected and anthropometric and demographic variables were collected during their clinical visit. Biochemical estimation of glucose, FSH, LH, estradiol (E2), and insulin levels were analyzed.
