Heat shock proteins 70 kDa (HSP70) protect intracellular proteins from the damaging effects of stress factors of various natures.Moreover, HSP70 play an important role in the vital activity of cells under normal physiological conditions, performing chaperone functions.These functions are realized in the intracellular space; however, in some cases,
Background: Upconverting nanophosphors (UCNPs) are composed of certain nanosized inorganic host materials doped with specific rare earth ions.They exhibit the phenomenon of photon upconversion, whereby the sequential absorption of two or more low energy photons is followed by luminescent emission of multiple photons with higher energy.In addition,
The antiproliferative properties and cell death mechanism induced by the extract of the fruits of <em>Luffa echinata </em>Roxb.(LER) were investigated.The methanolic extract of LER inhibited the proliferation of human colon cancer cells (HT-29) in both dose-dependent and time-dependent manners and caused a significant increase in the po
