background: regulatory t cells (t-regs) have an important role in cancer by suppression of protective antitumor immune responses. regulatory t cells express the forkhead/winged helix transcription factor (foxp3) and ox40 molecules which have important regulatory roles in the immune system. objective: to evaluate foxp3 and ox40 transcripts in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of women with ...

ATTED-II (http://atted.jp) is a database of gene coexpression in Arabidopsis that can be used to design a wide variety of experiments, including the prioritization of genes for functional identification or for studies of regulatory relationships. Here, we report updates of ATTED-II that focus especially on functionalities for constructing gene networks with regard to the following points: (i) i...

Instruments have to undergo evaluation at three levels. Firstly, the manufacturer has to evaluate in order to produce data on which to base performance claims-for example, for inclusion in sales literature or for submission to a regulatory authority, such as the Food and Drug Administration in the USA. Secondly, evaluation is done on behalf of would-be users by laboratories acting for governmen...

Цель работы состоит в развитии подхода к моделированию генных регуляторных сетей с учетом модульной структуры гена. Модель строится на основе экспериментальных данных и последующей экспериментальной верификации. Особенность подхода состоит в том, в модель включают дополнительные молекулярно-биологические детали, что более реалистично отражает механизмы контроля генной активности. Модельным объе...

In an Editorial of Science in 2011, Margaret A. Hamburg, the then Commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration highlighted that a strong field of regulatory science is required to develop new tools, standards and approaches that efficiently and consistently assess the safety, efficacy and performance of products, and that this field has long been underappreciated and underfunded.1 During...
