Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuantitative Analysis of Hypothalamic Proline-Rich Peptide-1 in Blood Serum of Patients with Malignant TumorsNarine Tumasyan, Silva Abrahamyan, Nune Kocharyan et al.The proline-rich-peptides are a class of neurosecretory hypothalamic bioactive polypeptides derived from cattle and comprise the content of bovine posterior pituitary neurosecretory granules. These peptides are co-validated through a single precursor protein neurophysin-vasopressin-associated glycoprotein. Proline-Rich-Polypeptide-1 (PRP-1) is a 15-amino acid peptide with anti-neurodegenerative, immunoregulatory, hematopoietic, antimicrobial, and antitumor activity. The aim of this study, accordingly, is to elaborate an assay … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 27 Nov 2025 · 2,283 accessesView PDFCite

Short CommunicationsOpen accessIn the abstractCytotoxicity and Apoptosis-Induction Potential of Fraction F3 from Fruits of Bersama engleriana (Melanthaceae) against Human Cervical Cancer CellsMichèle Stella Majoumouo et al.Cervical cancer is one of the most life-threatening malignancies worldwide, despite intensive research for more efficacious chemotherapeutic agents. Recent efforts geared towards eradicating the scourge of cancer have embodied a major surge of interest in natural products as promising lead molecules in pharmaceutical development and therapeutic translation. Consequently, this study aimed to assess the cytotoxicity of a previously identified plant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2022 · 5,292 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractFundamental Questions about γδT CellsMoulay Yassine Belghali, Saadia Ba-M’hamed, Mouna Khouchani, Brahim AdmouγδT cells is a minor subgroup of T lymphocytes expressing γδ-T Cell Receptor (TCR), with many subsets, dominated by Vδ2 and Vδ1. γδT cells recognize antigens independently of the context of MHC class I, MHC class II, or CD1 presenting molecules. However, this recognition requires the expression of the transmembrane Butyrophilin proteins by the presenting cells. Their activation is controlled … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2020 · 6,382 accessesView PDFCite
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.
