New Distribution Record of Five Species of Xylaria from Tripura, Northeast India
Abstract: The present study deals with new distribution record of five Xylaria species from Tripura, North-east India. Out of total five species, X. obovata, X. nigripes, X. multiplex and X. hypoxylon were not reported from entire Northeast India. Present findings revealed a potential check list of Xylaria of the region. It was observed that Xylaria species prefer to grow on dead decaying wooden logs situated on the moist deciduous forest floor. …

Marine Algal Secondary Metabolites Promising Anti-Angiogenesis Factor against Retinal Neovascularization in CAM Model
Abstract: Retinal angiogenesis is an angle of new blood vessels on retinal surface. This neovascularization condition within the eye contributes to visual loss. Commonest cause of this condition includes diabetes, retinopathy of prematurity, retinal vein occlusion, etc. A variety of endothelial cell growth factors have been identified as a responsible factor and previous studies report that marine metabolites are promising molecules against retinal angiogenesis. Based on the background information collected, the …
