Dengue virus’ evaluation with flow virometry
Dengue virus’ evaluation with flow virometry: Read the full article on ScienceDirect*Flow virometry used to address the maturation stage of individual virions **Text by Sonia Zicari* Dengue virus (DENV) is a small positive single-stranded RNA enveloped Flavivirus that is formed as a non-infectious particle, which undergoes maturation by cleavage of a protein (prM) on its surface. Different prMs are cleaved at different time-points/locations, resulting in viral heterogeneity both at the population and at the individual particle levels. Bulk analyses cannot capture this heterogeneity... περισσότερα »
Epidemiology and molecular mechanisms of antifungal resistance in Candida and Aspergillus
Epidemiology and molecular mechanisms of antifungal resistance in Candida and Aspergillus: Summary The significant increase in the use of antifungal agents, both for the treatment of candidiasis and invasive aspergillosis and as azole fungicides in agricultural crop protection has resulted in the emergence of resistant clinical isolates, particularly to triazoles and echinocandins. Notably, among isolates that were primarily sensitive to fluconazole such as *Candida parapsilosis* and *Candida tropicalis* have witnessed an emerging resistance development. Also for echinocandins, the... περισσότερα »

A mass lesion misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor in the masticator space: a case report
A mass lesion misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor in the masticator space: a case report: AbstractTemporomandibular disorder (TMD) is common, affecting up to 28 % of the population. Inflammatory conditions, developmental abnormalities, and neoplasms involving the masticator space can result in symptomatic TMD, which may present with signs such as pain and trismus. Because TMD treatments, including surgical management, differ according to the underlying cause, imaging plays an important role in identifying the precise category of TMD.

Visual Cross-Modal Re-Organization in Children with Cochlear Implants
Visual Cross-Modal Re-Organization in Children with Cochlear Implants: by Julia Campbell, Anu Sharma Background Visual cross-modal re-organization is a neurophysiological process that occurs in deafness. The intact sensory modality of vision recruits cortical areas from the deprived sensory modality of audition. Such compensatory plasticity is documented in deaf adults and animals, and is related to deficits in speech perception performance in cochlear-implanted adults. However, it is unclear whether visual cross-modal re-organization takes place in cochlear-implanted children an... περισσότερα »

Abstract Far-upstream element (FUSE)-binding protein 2 (FBP2) was a member of single-stranded DNA-binding protein family; it played an important role in regulating transcription and post-transcription and is involved in the regulation of C-MYC gene expression in liver tumors. However, the role of FBP2 in breast cancer and its mechanism has not been studied yet. Here, […]

Abstract Gene associated with retinoid-interferon-induced mortality (GRIM-19), an important subunit of mitochondrial complex I, has been identified as a tumor suppressor, and its reduced expression has been reported to be associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis. Autophagy has been proposed as a protective mechanism for cell survival under various stresses, including chemotherapy. However, it remains unknown […]

Translational research on influenza virus infection using a nonhuman primate model
Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοCell and Tissue Research by Alexandros G. SfakianakisΠριν από 41 δευτερόλεπτα
Influenza virus infection is a seasonal infectious disease for humans, whereas it is also a zoonosis that is originally transmitted from animals to humans. Therefore, several animal models are used in research on influenza virus infection. We have used a nonhuman primate (NHP) model to extrapolate pathogenicity of various influenza viruses and efficacy of vaccines and antiviral drugs against the influenza viruses in humans. NHPs have genes, anatomical structure, and immune responses similar to those of humans as compared to other animal models. Using an NHP model, we revealed tha...περισσότερα »

Adipose tissue (AT)-thyrocyte interaction is largely unknown. Here we described the interaction in a co-culture system, in which thyrocytes were cultured on AT fragment (ATF)-embedded collagen gel, using electron microscopy, immunocytochemistry, real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). ATFs promoted the hypertrophy, polarization and lipid accumulation of thyrocytes. ATFs did not affect the growth of thyroyctes, and inhibited their apoptosis. ATFs increased the protein expression of thyroglobulin (Tg) and pai... περισσότερα »

Effects of EZH2 promoter polymorphisms and methylation status on oral squamous cell carcinoma susceptibility and pathology.
*Effects of EZH2 promoter polymorphisms and methylation status on oral squamous cell carcinoma susceptibility and pathology.* Am J Cancer Res. 2015;5(11):3475-84 Authors: Su KJ, Lin CW, Chen MK, Yang SF, Yu YL Abstract Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), which is malignant tumors in oral cavity, is the fourth most common male cancer in Taiwan. EZH2 plays a key role in transcriptional repression through chromatin remodeling and in cancer development. Although the EZH2 expression in OSCC is highly correlated with tumorigenesis, it has not been determined if specific EZH2 genetic ... περισσότερα »

Effects of Antioxidants in Human Cancers: Differential Effects on Non-Coding Intronic RNA Expression.
*Effects of Antioxidants in Human Cancers: Differential Effects on Non-Coding Intronic RNA Expression.* Antioxidants (Basel). 2016;5(1) Authors: Menon S, Lu C, Menon R, Schwartz J, Guan Y Abstract The notion that dietary antioxidants can help fight cancer is popular. However, the mechanism(s) behind the effect of antioxidants in cancer is still unclear. Previous studies indicate that supplements can influence gene expression; however, all of these studies were focused on the coding/exonic gene expression. Studies are now emerging to highlight critical functional roles for RNAs e... περισσότερα »

Abstract Sub-Saharan African countries have some of the world’s highest rates of maternal mortality. Most research on maternal mortality focuses on factors during pregnancy and delivery. However, consistent with the fetal programming hypothesis, a woman’s maternal survival may also be related to conditions she experienced while in utero. I examine this hypothesis in 14 African […]

Abstract This paper applies the theory of relational contracts to a model in which a couple decides upon fertility and subsequently on continuation of the relationship. We formalize the idea that within-household-cooperation can be supported by selfinterest. Since the costs of raising children—a household public good—are unequally distributed between partners, a conflict between individually optimal […]

ABSTRACT Background Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been widely used in treatment for skin cancer. However, topical 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in PDT demonstrates poor therapeutic effect due to its shallow penetration. And intralesional ALA-PDT can bring great pain.
