Ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) increases extraction efficiency of solvents and when applied to Cannabis spp. biomass it reduces the time required for extraction. This decreases the cost and potential cannabinoid loss due to degradation. Additionally, UAE is considered a green method due to low solvent use.

Propagation of Waves

When a wave propagates from one medium to another, part of it may get reflected in the first medium, and part of it may get transmitted to the second medium. In such a case, the interface of the two mediums can be considered as a boundary that is neither fixed nor free. Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...

Propagation of Action Potentials

The propagation of an action potential refers to the process by which a nerve impulse, or "action potential," travels along a neuron. Neurons (nerve cells) have a resting membrane potential, with a slightly negative charge inside compared to outside. This is maintained by ion channels, such as sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels, which control the flow of ions. When a stimulus, like a touch or a signal from another neuron, triggers the neuron, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to...

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been shown to play an important role in tumor metastasis. Here, a method for the isolation and propagation of CTCs from the whole blood of a syngeneic mouse tumor model of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastasis is described.
FAQs
Stem cuttings form adventitious roots when moisture, temperature, and hormone conditions support root initiation and development. These roots arise from the cut stem rather than from preexisting root tissue, allowing selected plant material to continue growing as an independent plant. Controlling these conditions helps produce more consistent starting material for research and cultivation workflows.
In micropropagation, small tissue-culture explants are placed on sterile culture media that supplies the controlled environment needed for development. Plant growth regulators then help direct biological responses such as shoot multiplication and rooting. Managing sterility and regulator conditions allows researchers to generate multiple plants from limited tissue while maintaining a reproducible propagation system.
Propagation from cuttings or tissue-culture explants can reproduce material from a selected plant rather than relying only on new seed-derived material. This supports the continued use of chosen traits and helps maintain consistent plant material across experiments or production cycles. The approach is especially valuable when a cultivar has characteristics researchers need to study or conserve.
Moisture, temperature, and hormone conditions are the main factors identified for supporting adventitious root development in cannabis stem cuttings. If these conditions are unsuitable, root initiation or development may be less reliable. Controlling them is therefore central to producing uniform rooted material, which strengthens consistency in downstream bioengineering experiments and plant-based research.
A general workflow begins by choosing seeds, stem cuttings, or tissue-culture explants according to the desired research objective. Cuttings require suitable moisture, temperature, and hormone conditions for rooting, whereas micropropagation requires sterile media and plant growth regulators for shoot multiplication and rooting. The resulting material can then serve as a standardized starting point for further work.
Bioengineering researchers can use controlled propagation to provide standardized starting material for genetic studies and transformation workflows. It also supports disease-free stock production and conservation of valuable cultivars. By reducing variation in the plant material entering an experiment, propagation improves reproducibility and makes it easier to compare outcomes across genetic, cellular, or plant-development studies.
Micropropagation and other controlled approaches can help generate consistent plant material while supporting disease-free stock production and conservation. Producing material from small tissue samples also offers a way to expand valuable plant lines for research or production. These outcomes help connect laboratory procedures with larger-scale plant-based work without abandoning control over the starting material.
