Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSerum TGF-β and TNF-α During Psoriasis Therapy with Narrowband Ultraviolet BAhmad Taha Khalaf, Yan YuehuaAlthough it is now an accepted concept that narrow-band UVB therapy is an efficacious therapy for psoriasis, the relationship between the response rate and the potential effects on serum cytokines is less well-established. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the response rate and the changes of serum TGF-β and TNF-α necessary for understanding the underlying … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 6 Jan 2015 · 6,088 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsWound Healing Activity of Chlorogenic Acid in Diabetic Rats is Mediated Through Antibacterial, Antioxidant, and Proliferative EffectsAbdullah Abdulrahman Al-Ghanayem, Mohammed Sanad Alhussaini, AbdulRahman Abdulla Ibrahim Alyahya et al.Chlorogenic acid is known to have antibacterial action against a number of pathogens. This study provides insights into the potentiality of chlorogenic acid in the treatment of chronic infection in wounds. The anti-infective and healing effect of chlorogenic acid in infected wounds was evaluated using diabetic rats. Antibacterial activity of chlorogenic acid against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 2 · 21 Jan 2024 · 6,154 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGoats’ Litter Size Concerning Bone Morphogenetic Protein 15 Gene VariationsTebogo Letsukulo Percy Thepa, Thobela Louis Tyasi, Jones Ng’ambiBone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15), a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily, plays essential roles in follicular development and ovulation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the BMP15 gene have been associated with litter size in multiple livestock species, yet no comprehensive systematic review has synthesized findings across goat breeds. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the association between … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 18 Feb 2026 · 1,405 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Functional Analysis of the Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Proteins in the Clawed Frogs' Genomes With Common Essential Pathways and Enriched Gene Ontology TermsWuyi LiuThe international Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway databases were used to functionally analyze the clawed frogs' Basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcription factors of Xenopus tropicalis and Xenopus laevis in a updated genome-wide survey. There were 41 GO terms and one pathway significantly enriched for Xenopus tropicalis, whereas there were 45 GO terms and 3 pathways significantly enriched for Xenopus laevis. Among … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2019 · 8,490 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Green Tea on Hepatic Cells Under the Influence of Inflammatory Conditions: In Vitro StudyIbrahim G. Saleh, Zulfiqar Ali, Farid M. Hamada et al.The concern about safety of consumption of Green Tea (GT) supplements has become a scope of many studies. We and others have described earlier the effect of the administration of GT and its polyphenols on liver in a mouse model. In this study we aimed to investigate the effect of GT on HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells were treated with different … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 3 Dec 2013 · 7,314 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioactive Factors of Colostrum and Human Milk Exhibits a Day-Night VariationNubia Andrade Silva, Adenilda Cristina Honorio-Franca, Fernanda Regina Giachini et al.The aim of this study was to determine the chronobiological variations of cytokines (IFN-γ, TGF-β) and hormones (melatonin and cortisol). The sample was collected from 42 mothers at three stages of maturity-day 3 (colostrum), day 10 (transitional milk) and day 30 (mature milk) postpartum, at two times of day: diurnal (12:00 h) and nocturnal (24:00 h), resulting a total of … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2013 · 8,186 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModel Checking the Biological Model of Membrane Computing with Probabilistic Symbolic Model Checker by Using Two Biological SystemsRavie Chandren Muniyandi, Abdullah Mohd. Zin, Zarina ShukorProblem statement: Membrane computing formalism has provided better modeling capabilities for biological systems in comparison to conventional mathematical models. Model checking could be used to reason about the biological system in detail and with precision by verifying formally whether membrane computing model meets the properties of the system. Approach: This study was carried to investigate the preservation of properties of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 6,672 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransforming Growth Factor-β: An Indirect Inducer of Th17 Cell Differentiation both in Human and Murine SystemJ. SchumannSince their first description only some years ago Th17 cells have become of vital importance in immunological research. However, the role of TGF-β in Th17 cell development is still a matter of controversial discussion. Predicted to have a key function in Th17 cell differentiation in the mouse TGF-β was shown to inhibit IL-17 production of human CD4+ T cells. Moreover, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,575 accessesView PDF Cite
