Utilization of the Sibininto treat the DMBA Induced Hepatotoxicity and Free-Radical Damage in Norwegian Rat, Rattus norvegicus (L).
Abstract: DMBA is abbreviated form of the 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene. It is working as immuno-suppressor. It also serves as a tumor initiator. It allows for a greatly accelerated rate of growth of tumor and making many cancer studies possible. The plant, Silybum marianum (L) yields pharmacologically active compound named as silbinin. The silbinin deserve documented antioxidant activity. The purpose of this study was to assess this silbinin for protective influence in DMBA induced …

Rheumatoid Arthritis and Stem Cell Therapies Perspectives for It
Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by systemic inflammation, primarily affecting synovial joints, leading to joint destruction and systemic complications. The pathogenesis involves immune system dysregulation, autoantibody production, and enzymatic imbalances. Enzymes, including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), serine proteases, and kinases, play crucial roles in these processes. Their dysregulation contributes significantly to disease progression through the imbalance of pro-inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. MMPs, …
