This method causes to DNA damage with form double stranded breaks which is followed by the phosphorylation of the histone, H2AX. H2AX is a key factor in the repair process of damaged DNA which will accumulate to damage sites. In human cells, H2AX constitutes about 10% of the H2A ...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB) are both characterized by chronic airflow limitation. Although the aetiology of these diseases is under investigation, it is commonly hypothesized that neutrophils have a major role in the disease pathogenesis. The variation of the genes related to chemotaxis of neutrophils may confer a risk for the development of b...
