چکیده
High telomerase expression is a hallmark of most types of cancer, and, therefore, strategies to inhibit telomerase as an anticancer treatment have been pursuit for many years. In contrast to cancer, short telomeres and lack of telomerase are associated with aging and agerelated disease, including heart disease. Consequently, pharmacological telomerase activation can delay aging and also provides cardioprotection. In this viewpoint, we briefly summarized the 2 faces of telomerase in cancer and during aging. We discuss why we see the therapeutic future in telomerase activation rather than its inhibition, for the treatment of cardiac disease and possibly even in the context of cancer.

The Role of Wind Direction and Unidirectional Index in the Time Development and Determining the Sand Dunes Morphology (Case Study: Sadegh Abad Erg-Bafq)
Introduction: At present, about 36% of the land surface is covered by arid and semi-arid areas, with 19% of these levels completely dry and no plant life. In Iran, between one third and one-fourth of Iran's dry surfaces are covered with Sand and Sand Dunes. The arid and semi-arid conditions of Iran have caused about 80 million hectares of Iran to be covered by desert areas, sand dunes and insi...
متن کاملFour-wire orthogonal structure for accurate measurement of fluid velocity and wind flow direction using silicon micro-machining on silicon nitride membranes
Microelectromechanical thermal sensors are one of the most accurate and important tools for measuring the direction and velocity of an acoustic wave and winds. Detection of wind direction and speed in different ranges has different applications such as meteorology, wind power plants, gas flow measurement in smart building and gas consumption of power plants. In this paper, a four wires sensor i...
متن کاملChanging the direction and orientation of electric field during electric pulses application improves plasmid gene transfer in vitro.
Gene electrotransfer is a physical method used to deliver genes into the cells by application of short and intense electric pulses, which cause destabilization of cell membrane, making it permeable to small molecules and allows transfer of large molecules such as DNA. It represents an alternative to viral vectors, due to its safety, efficacy and ease of application. For gene electrotransfer dif...
متن کاملHitting moving targets: a dissociation between the use of the target's speed and direction of motion.
Previous work has indicated that people do not use their judgment of a target's speed to determine where to hit it. Instead, they use their judgment of the target's changing position and an expected speed (based on the speed of previous targets). In the present study we investigate whether people also ignore the target's apparent direction of motion, and use the target's changing position and a...
متن کاملDoes changing the pulling direction give better insight into biomolecules?
Single-molecule manipulation techniques reveal that the mechanical resistance of a protein depends on the direction of the applied force. Using a lattice model of polymers, we show that changing the pulling direction leads to different phase diagrams. The simple model proposed here indicates that in one case the system undergoes a transition akin to the unzipping of a beta sheet, while in the o...

Dry climate, poor vegetation and relatively smooth surface and neighborhood with plain Lute are the most important factors that brought about wind erosion processes prevail in the Kerman region. Obviously, wind erosion rate and volume of material transfer depends on characteristics of speed and direction also frequency of wind as well as surface and sediment characteristics. The purpose of this...
