[ 1 ] - Effects of fibromodulin protein expression on NFkB and TGFβ signaling pathways in liver cancer cells

Introduction: The incidence rate of liver cancer is continuously increasing. Currently, gene therapy is applied to improve various medical issues such as cancer treatment approaches. Correspondingly, fibromodulin involves in many biological and physiological processes through interaction with growth factors and signaling pathway receptors. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of...

[ 2 ] - The effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells on renal function and histopathology in a rat model of ischemia-reperfusion induced acute kidney injury

Objective(s): It has been shown that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSC) have protective effects in acute kidney injury (AKI). This study was conducted to assess the therapeutic effects of AD-MSC in rats subjected to acute kidney injury by 45 min of renal ischemia followed by 48 hr of reperfusion (I/R). Materials and Methods:...

[ 3 ] - Changes of miR-199a and miR-196b expression levels in blood donors suffering from asymptomatic hepatitis C

Abstract Background and Objectives Hepatitis C virus is the main cause of hepatitis C infection that usually has no symptoms at early stages. Studies have shown changes in the expression level of microRNAs in various diseases such as hepatitis. MiR-199a and miR-196b have an inhibitory effect on hepatitis C virus. In a recent study, we examined the expression levels of miR-199a and miR-196b in ...
