background and objectives: pseudomonas aeruginosa (pa) is one of the most important causes of nosocomial infections and has an intrinsic resistance to many antibiotics. among all the resistance-nodulation-division (rnd) pumps of p. aeruginosa, mexab-oprm is the first efflux pump found to target multiple classes of antibiotics. this study was aimed to evaluate the expression level of genes expre...

background: dendritic cells (dcs) are ideal accessory cells in the field of gene therapy. delivery of dna and sirna into mammalian cells is a useful technique in treating various diseases caused by single gene defects. selective gene silencing by small interfering rnas (sirnas) and antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (odn)s is an efficient method for the manipulation of cellular functions. an effic...

Regulated promoters are useful tools for many aspects related to recombinant gene expression in bacteria, including for high-level expression of heterologous proteins and for expression at physiological levels in metabolic engineering applications. In general, it is common to express the genes of interest from an inducible promoter controlled either by a positive regulator or by a repressor pro...

Gene expression is a process central to any form of life. It involves multiple temporal and functional scales that extend from specific protein-DNA interactions to the coordinated regulation of multiple genes in response to intracellular and extracellular changes. This diversity in scales poses fundamental challenges to the use of traditional approaches to fully understand even the simplest gen...

objective: adipocyte and skeletal muscle are important tissues which contribute the development and progression of metabolic disorder. insulin has a major regulatory function on glucose metabolism in these tissues by redistributing glucose transporter (glut4) from intracellular vesicles to the cell surface. today, due to the side effects of chemical medications attendance to herbal medicines is...

background: taq dna polymerase is a very important enzyme for molecular biological studies such as dna amplification and dna sequencing by the pcr. it is a standard enzyme that is used in 90% of molecular biology labs today. the aim of this study was to produce taq dna polymerase enzyme in e. coli by a reliable, practical, simple and low cost method.materials and methods: in this study, the taq...
