INSTITUTE OF ONCOLOGY AND RADIOLOGY OF SERBIA, BELGRADE, SERBIA ER signaling molecular classical and nonclassical pathways

The ER activates gene expression in two ways. In the best understood mode of action, or classical pathway, upon binding to E2, ER dimerizes and interacts with permutations of a palindromic DNA sequence separated by three non specific nucleotides: 5’-GGTCAnnnTGACC-3’, the consenus estrogen response element (ERE). The E2-ER-ERE complex subsequently recruits coactivators/regulators to promote loca...

Seasonality of trichinellosis in patients hospitalized in Belgrade, Serbia.

A retrospective study of the course and outcome of trichinellosis in a series of 50 patients hospitalized at the Institute for Infectious and Tropical Diseases in Belgrade between 2001 and 2008 was performed. Clinical diagnosis of trichinellosis was based upon the patients' clinical history, symptoms and signs, and eosinophilia. The occurrence of cases showed a strong seasonality (P < 0.0001). ...

Molecular epidemiology of pulmonary tuberculosis in belgrade, central serbia.

In order to gain precise data on the actual epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB) in Belgrade, central Serbia, we conducted the molecular epidemiological investigation described herein. IS6110 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) typing of 176 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates was performed. These strains were obtained from 48.4% of all patients diagnosed with culture-proven pulmonary ...

Institute for Nuclear Sciences “vinča”, Laboratory for Radiobiology and Molecular Genetics, Belgrade, Serbia

The structure and function of numerous genes involved in process of carcinogenesis have been established through explosive development of molecular oncogenetics during last 15 years. Depending on the function in the cell, these genes are divided into proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Proto-oncogenes are normal cellular genes that perform and control essential functions in the cell: gr...
