EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Silencing of Septin 1 via Synthetic siRNAs in Schizosaccharomyces pombeSemih Ekimler, Merve Yilmazer, Ercan AricanSeptins are evolutionary conserved GTP-binding proteins and form heterooligomers in cells to interact with cytoskeleton. The main roles of septins in cell are cytokines, membrane interactions, vesicle trafficking and microtubule and actin organization. Non-coding RNAs are key players of gene expression regulation. Small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) belong to non-coding RNAs, are characterized by sequence complementarity to their target mRNAs. siRNAs silence … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2017 · 7,237 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn silico Analysis of 4CL Family in Scutellaria baicalensis through Biocomputational Tools and ServersGuoming Li, Xiaozhong Lan, Xiaorong Shui et al.The gene sequences of 4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase (4CL) family of Scutellaria baicalensis came from the GenBank Database. With help of some bioinformatics tools such as Vector NTI Suite 8, ProtParam and SWISS-MODEL and so on, a series of biological information of their nucleic acid sequences and amino acid sequences were predicted and analyzed and the results were revealed as following: … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 15 Feb 2017 · 7,864 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVascular Endothelial Growth Factor: An Overview Across Multiple Disease ConditionsMiriam CanaveseVascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is the major player in the regulation of physiological angiogenesis as well as it has also been implicated in pathological angiogenesis, associated with cancers and other conditions, among which psoriasis, autoimmune diseases and visual loss in macular degeneration. Interestingly, three regulatory Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (rSNPs) in the promoter region of VEGF-A gene have been significantly … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 6 May 2015 · 7,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Nf-Kappa and HDCA and Implication of Oxidative Stress in Airway Inflammation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseGhada A. Abdallah, Nevine M. Abd-Elfattah, Hala M. Ghanem et al.Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), due to its effect on proinflammatory gene transcription. Oxidants/antioxidants imbalance is responsible for disease development. The study was designed to assess oxidative stress and inflammation in COPD patients. The level of TNF-α and IL-8 in sputum and BAL were compared. NF-κB and HDAC were measured in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 4 Dec 2014 · 6,836 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGENE IMPRINTING: ENGRAVING THE PATHOGENESIS OF HERIDETARY DISEASESSandeep Satapathy, Roshan Kumar Singh, Harikrishnan RajendranGene imprinting has conduited the scope of our understanding of phenotypic expression and its corelation with constituent genotype. It is an epigenetic process that involves DNA methylation and histone modulation to attain monoallelic gene expression without altering the genetic sequences. A distinctive model of non-mendelian genetics, imprinting extends the control over expression of traits and selection of the allele that … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2014 · 7,682 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPOTENTIAL AMELIORATIVE ROLE OF N-ACETYLCYSTEINE AGAINST TESTICULAR DYSFUNCTION INDUCED BY TITANIUM DIOXIDE IN MALE ALBINO RATSAhmed Farag El-Kirdasy, Mohamed Abdo Nassan, Ahmed Abdel Aziz Baiomy et al.In this study, we examined the ameliorative action of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) against Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) induced testicular degeneration in albino rats. Adult male albino rats were given saline as a control group, TiO2 (1200 mg kg-1 BW), NAC (100 mg kg-1 BW) and co-treatment of NAC and TiO2 as a protective group for 3 months. Testicular tissues were extracted for … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2013 · 7,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetecting Patterns in 5’ Untranslated Regions of Genes Involved in the Regulation of Blood Pressure and Oxidative StressMaria Sanchez-Aguilar, Luz Ibarra-Lara, Beatriz Zamora-Lopez et al.Hypertension is a chronic physical condition with multifactorial causes. Although genetic factors have been associated to this pathological condition, characterization of the sequence patterns in the regulatory sites, for example, in 3’ or 5’ Untranslated Regions (UTR), remains to be explored. In particular, the 5’ UTR of genes associated with the regulation of blood pressure and oxidative stress are analyzed … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 27 Nov 2013 · 7,283 accessesView PDFCite
