BACKGROUND Several in vitro studies suggested the microRNA-29 (miRNA-29) family is involved in regulating HIV-1 and modulating the expression of interleukin (IL)-32, an anti-HIV-1 cytokine. METHODS To investigate the contribution of the miRNA-29 family to HIV-1 infection in vivo, we compared miRNA-29 expression in PBMC collected from 58 HIV-1-infected patients, naïve for antiretroviral therap...

Hayvan üslubu erken devirlerden beri Türk sanatında mühim bir yere sahiptir. Üsluplaşmış hayvan figürü tasvirleri; özellikle el yazma eserlerin sayfa kenarlarındaki halkâr tezyinatında ve minyatür sahnelerinde sıkça karşımıza çıkan süsleme biçimi olmuştur.

Pigs reared in commercial production units sometimes encounter stressors that significantly decrease growth performance. It is hypothesized that response to stress challenges could potentially be used as selection criteria. This study aimed to investigate, in a commercial setting, the heritability of two target genes previously shown to be induced in response to stress, and related to growth pe...

Solar photospheric ÑowÐeld properties on scales are measured using local correlation tracking sub-0A.5 (LCT) and object tracking of magnetic bright points (MBPs : photospheric bright points associated with magnetic elements). The dataset is a 70 minute time series of cospatial and cotemporal G-band 4305 Ó and wideband 4686 Ðltergrams obtained with the 50 cm Swedish Vacuum Solar Telescope on the...
