[ 1 ] - Isolation and characterization of mercuric reductase by newly isolated halophilic bacterium, Bacillus firmus MN8

The current study was aimed at isolating and identifying the halophilic and halotolerant bacteria which can produce mercuric reductase in Gavkhuni wetland in Iran. Moreover, tracking and sequencing merA gene and kinetic properties of mercuric reductase in the selected strain were performed in this study. Soil samples were taken from Gavkhuni wetland and cultured in nutrient agar medium...

[ 2 ] - Effect of Memantine on Expression of NAT-Rad18, Rad18 and Sorl1 Genes in Rat Model of Alzheimer\'s Disease

Background and Objective: Dysregulation of long-term expression of non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has a potential role in progressive brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. This study aimed to analyze the apoptosis and expression of 51A and NAT-Rad18 lncRNAs and their target genes in brain tissue and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of the rat model of AD, before and after memantine ...
