Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA oligomers, identified from a random sequence pool, with the ability to form unique and versatile tertiary structures that bind to cognate molecules with superior specificity. Their small size, excellent chemical stability and low immunogenicity enable them to rival antibodies in cancer imaging and therapy applications. Their facile chemical synthesis, ver...

In May 2007, a suborder Shoka deer calf about one month of age was found in a preserved area of Arasbaran in the East Azerbaijan province. From an ecological view point, the Arasbaran area is uniquely labelled as a reserve biosphere. he calf had diarrhea that recovered after treatment. During rearing, The calf received pasteurized- homogenized milk from market as well as milk of a goat. After 3...

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are a popular material in the field of nanoscience because their excellent biocompatibility and unique physical chemical properties, have been widely used biomedical field. AuNPs simple preparation method, controllable shape size, high electron density atomic number, superparamagnetic radiation sensitization effect, optical absorbance can be adjusted to required biolo...

Background & Aims: In this study with the aim of benefiting from non-laser sources in photodynamic therapy, photo and radio sensitivity of indocyanine green as a sensitizer in photodynamic and radiation therapies were investigated. Methods: Based on the broad absorption peak of indocyanine green and using non-coherent light, the experiments were performed on human cells derived from breast canc...

The synapse is formed between a presynapse (which releases neurotransmitter) and the postsynapse transduces this chemical signal). Over past decade, presynaptic dysfunction has emerged as key mediator of series neurodevelopmental neurodegenerative disorders. This special issue will highlight some important molecules mechanisms that are disrupted in these conditions reveal potential routes for t...

BACKGROUND In chronic wounds, especially burn scars, malignant tumors can arise. However, it is rare for a subacute burn injury to change to a malignant lesion within one month. Moreover, a case of squamous cell carcinoma arising from HeNe laser therapy after a chemical burn has never been reported. CASE REPORT In this report, we examine a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma arising from HeN...
