objective(s):emap-like protein 5 (eml5) is a new echinoderm microtubule-associated protein that is expressed in the central nervous system. the aim of this study was to investigate the expression profile of eml5 in the anterior temporal neocortex of patients presenting with intractable epilepsy (ie). materials and methods:western blot assays were performed to determine eml5 expression in 36 sur...

during the epidemiological research of zoonoses, the authors have studied the rabies of wild animals : fox. for the scro lo-uical tests. the blood . was taken by heart puncture of foxes. 193 specimens were tested and 26 (13. 5%) o r the foxes had neut ralizing antibody in their blood. this study confirms that during the rabies epizooty. the vulpin population, may contract a non-fatal disease an...

this article elaborates on the experience of higher medical education evaluation in iran. although institutional evaluation in iran started in about a decade ago, recent policies of the government to increase quality of higher medical education have contributed to a special effort in designing and implementing evaluation mechanisms in university systems in iran. among these a process of interna...

M high gene expression level during long-term culture is critical when producing therapeutic recombinant proteins using mammalian cells. Transcriptional silencing of promoters, most likely due to epigenetic events such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, is one of the major mechanisms causing production instability. Previous studies demonstrated that the core CpG island element (IE) f...
