Four different propolis samples obtained from different regions of Iran were evaluated for their antibacterial effects against the bacterial agents responsible for two important honeybee diseases. Paenibacillus larvae (P. larvae) and Melissococcus plutonius (M. plutonius), as the etiological agents of American foulbrood (AFB) and European foulbrood...

Tendon is similar to rope and consists of strong, flexible, dense connective tissue. Tendon disorder healing is challenging as it is an avascular tissue. The repaired tissue appears scar-like, and its biomechanical properties never ultimately return to their pre-injury state. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on...
