background the mutations of lhbs in pre-s, especially in pre-s2, are definitive in hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) associated with hbv. however, the mechanisms of the n-glycosylation modification in lhbs are unclear. the n-glycosylation modification of lhbs affects endoplasmic reticulum stress, cell proliferation and its secretion which was further studied. objectives the objectives of our studi...

in order to study the effect of different water potential on anethum graveolens l. an experiment was conducted. this study was carried out based on completely randomized design with three replications. in this experiment, morpho-physiological characteristics were assessed under hydroponic. stress was established with peg 6000, and drought potentials were: 0 (control), -1.5, -2, -2.5 and -3 bar....

chilling is an important environmental stress that influences the yield and quality of many agricultural crops. different plants use different systems to endure this stress and minimize its effects. one of these systems is enzymatic reaction. to find out more about responses of different grapevine species and cultivars to the low temperature conditions, their enzymatic changes were evaluated in...

background: the mechanisms of virulence and species differences of leishmania parasites are under the influence of gene expression regulations at posttranscriptional stages. in iran, l. major and l. tropica are known as principal agents of cutaneous leishmaniasis, while l. infantum causes visceral leishmaniasis. methods: as a preliminary study, we compared the proteome mapping of the above thre...

Feeding farmed Artemia with yeast heat shock proteins is a novel way to protect them from stress conditions during the culture.  In this study, the effect of feeding with stressed new identified Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain YG3-1 yeasts (containing induced heat shock proteins) on the survival of Artemia in stress conditions, was evaluated. For this purpose, heat shock proteins 82 (Hsps 82) o...

Drought stress is a serious adverse factor limiting growth and productivity of sunflower. Evaluation of defense systems is important for producing resistant cultivars. In this study, some agro-morphological and molecular characteristics of six sunflower lines were evaluated under normal and irrigation at 40 and 60% of field capacity in randomized complete block design (RCBD). The results showed...

In vitro culture is widely used for characterization of primary human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells, but even when using optimized handling and conditions the AML cells show spontaneous in apoptosis with a gradual decrease cell viability during culture. The extent this stress-induced varies between patients, high degree associated pre-culture BCL2 levels together low BAX Heat Shock Protein...
