Morphological and physiological responses of Calobota sericea plants subjected to water limitation and subsequent rewatering
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2021)
Calobota sericea is a native legume of South Africa, confined to the water-limited rangelands, and it has recently
been prioritised for additional characterisation regarding its pasture potential. In this study, we examined ...
The effects of in utero exposure to teratogens on organ size: A prospective paediatric study
(Cambridge University Press, 2021)
In low-income countries, prospective data on combined effects of in utero teratogen exposure
are lacking and necessitates new research. The aim of the present study was to explore the effect
of in utero teratogen exposure ...
Exosomes form tunneling nanotubes (TUNTs) in the blood-brain barrier: A nano-anatomical perspective of barrier genesis
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a robust interface between the blood
and the central nervous system. Barrier type endothelium is able to limit
paracellular (PC) movement, relegating molecular flux to the transendothel ...
The effects of silver nanoparticles on RAW 264.7. Macrophages and human whole blood cell cultures
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are commonly found in consumer products due to their antimicrobial properties. This study evaluated the effects of AgNPs on the murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 and human whole blood cell ...
The stability and anti-angiogenic properties of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (tio2nps) using caco-2 cells
(MDPI, 2022)
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) are found in a wide range of products such
as sunscreen, paints, toothpaste and cosmetics due to their white pigment and high refractive
index. These wide-ranging applications ...
Green tea (Camellia sinensis) aqueous extract improved human spermatozoa functions in vitro
(ResearchGate, 2022)
Background: Idiopathic causes of infertility is associated with oxidative stress. Antioxidants are known to scavenge the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Green tea (Camellia sinensis) contains polyphenols ...
Automation of human semen analysis using a novel artificial intelligence optical microscopic technology
(Wiley Online Library, 2019)
Current semen analysis still commonly depends on a manual microscopy method in clinical laboratories worldwide. However, some of the major disadvantages of this technique are that it is labour‐intensive, subjective, ...
Tunel assay: establishing a sperm dna fragmentation cut-off value for Egyptian infertile men
(Wiley Online Library, 2019)
Male factor infertility is responsible for half of all infertility cases. Conventional semen analysis is inadequate to evaluate male fertility. Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) test can be done by: direct methods such as ...
Is there plagiarism in the most influential publications in the field of andrology?
(Wiley Online Library, 2019)
Plagiarism is a common form of academic misconduct that extensively jeopardises the quality of scientific publication. The purpose of this study is to determine the extent of plagiarism in the most influential andrology ...
Next generation precision medicine: Crispr-mediated genome editing for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders
(Springerlink, 2019)
Despite significant advancements in the field of molecular neurobiology especially neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, the highly complex molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases remain elusive. As ...
