background: t-2 mycotoxin belongs to the trichothecene family and has damaging effects on the immune system. objective: to investigate the toxic effect of t-2 toxin on the percentage of peripheral blood b lymphocytes and the potential protective role of selenium and vitamin e. method: frequencies of b lymphocytes (cd19+ ) were analyzed after injection of sublethal doses of t-2 toxin into balb/c...

BACKGROUND Cell-based therapy has been implicated in the treatment of liver diseases. Mesenchymal stem cells from various sources such as bone marrow are available. These cells are one of the major candidates in cell therapy. The production of insulin-like growth factor-I increases in the regenerating organ. The insulin-like growth factor-I in liver regeneration is effective after binding to in...

We apply a search-based technique for learning high-quality Bayesian networks to proteomic flowcytometry data for a portion of the human T-cell signaling network. Although Bayesian network models have been learned from this data using methods such as MCMC that sample from a posterior distribution [1], [2], [3], we demonstrate that our more comprehensible searchbased technique, which uses model ...

objective(s):  titanium oxides are known to be appropriate hemocompatible materials which are suggested as coatings for blood-contacting devices. little is known about the influence of nanometric crystal structure, layer thickness, and semiconducting characteristics of tio2 on blood hemostasis.   materials and methods: having used sol-gel dip coating method in this study, tio2 thin films were d...

many cellular damages either in normal or cancerous tissues are the outcome of molecular events affected by ionizing radiation. t‑cells are the most important among immune system agents and are used for biological radiation dose measurement in recommended standard methods. the herbs with immune modulating properties may be useful to reduce the risk of the damages and subsequently the diseases. ...
