Indirect Regeneration of the Medicinal Plant, , and Histological Assessment at Different Developmental Stages.

The medicinal plant, , has been traditionally used in several African countries to treat many diseases such as tuberculosis, cough, inflammation, malaria, osteoporosis, and diabetes. In this study, we developed a protocol for propagation of using indirect shoot organogenesis from leaf and root explants of -grown seedlings and assessed the tissues at different developmental stages. The highest callus induction (91.

The Intricate Role of p53 in Adipocyte Differentiation and Function.

For more than three decades, numerous studies have demonstrated the function of p53 in cell cycle, cellular senescence, autophagy, apoptosis, and metabolism. Among diverse functions, the essential role of p53 is to maintain cellular homeostatic response to stress by regulating proliferation and apoptosis. Recently, adipocytes have been studied with increasing intensity owing to the increased prevalence of metabolic diseases posing a serious public health concern and because metabolic dysfunction can directly induce tumorigenesis.
