background : lung cancer is still the leading cause of cancer- related deaths and most of themâ  are normally diagnosed in late stages, so there is an urgent need to establish reliable tools for the identification at early stages of the disease. in this study, we use an eleven gene signature test to examine lung biopsy specimens for diagnostic, prognostic & therapeutic purposes. methods : bronc...

objective(s): streptococcus pyogenes produces extracellular hyaluronidase enzyme. this enzyme is directly associated with the spread of the organism during infection. the objective of the present study was to clone and express the nucleotide sequence of the enzyme which is involved in hyaluronidase enzymatic activity. materials and methods: the enzymatic region of hyaluronidase gene was detecte...

resistin (retn), recently found to be relevant to inflammation and inflammatory disorders. we, therefore, aimed to investigate the potential role of retn gene polymorphism in pathogenesis of acne vulgaris with familial history. we investigated the retn-420c/g polymorphism in 180 patients with acne vulgaris and 180 healthy individuals in a case-control association analysis. in this study, we als...

anthracnose caused by colletotrichum gloeosporioides s. l. is one of the most important diseases of citrus in northern iran. to study the genetic structure of c. gloeosporioides s. l. from citrusspp., infected samples were collected from three citrus cultivating regions of northern iran, during the summer of 2009. fifty one monoconidial isolates were used as the objective of rep- and box-pcr fi...

introduction: antimicrobial peptides as the body's defense strategy play an important role in resistance against infection of microorganism. these peptides are able to modulate the immune and inflammatory processes through the production of defensive molecules. therefore, the modulatory effects of brevinin-2r, an antimicrobial peptide extracted from the skin of the frog (rana ridibunda), w...

influenza a viruses possesses two virion surface glycoproteins including haemagglutinin (ha) and neuraminidase (na). the na plays an important role in viral replication and promotes virus release from infected cells and facilitates virus spread throughout the body. to find out any genomic changes that might be occurred on na gene of avian influenza circulating viruses, we have genetically analy...

conclusions in the present study, we identified a key gene rps16 and a significant module involved in ribosome biogenesis in eukaryotes that were related to neonatal sepsis, which might be potential biomarkers for early detection and therapy for neonatal sepsis. background the exact interacting factor that response to the infection for neonatal sepsis is still needed to urgently to be disclosed...

background: angiogenesis is an important process in various physiologic and pathologic states. the most significant stimulator of angiogenesis is vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf). in contrast, vasohibin1 acts as an angiogenesis inhibitor which specifically inhibits new vessels formation. the aim of the present study was cloning and expression of vasohibin1 gene in e. coli as well as pu...
