Objective(s): Filamentous bacteriophage M13 was genetically engineered to specifically target mammalian cells for gene delivery purpose. Materials and Methods: A vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2)-specific nanobody was genetically fused to the capsid gene III of M13 bacteriophage (pHEN4/3VGR19). A mammalian expression construct containing Cop-green fluorescent protein (Cop-G...

Oil price shocks are the main source of macroeconomic fluctuations in oil exporting countries. It is believed that appropriate monetary policy can help to stabilize these unwanted variations toward optimal allocations. A stochastic dynamic general equilibrium model featuring the properties of both cost push and wealth effect transmission channels is developed for the Iranian economy. In thi...

objective: lentivirus-derived vectors are among the most promising viral vectors for gene therapy which is currently available, but their use in clinical practice is limited due to associated risk of insertional mutagenesis. gene targeting is an ideal method for gene therapy, but it has low efficiency in comparison to viral vector methods. in this study, we are going to design and construct an ...

radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, have created new innovations in diagnosis, research and therapy of disease in last 2 decades. one of the serious limitation of applications of radiolabeled antibodies in vivo is relatively low target to background activity. various strategies have been proposed to solve this problem including pre-targeting methods that was suggested in 1989. regarding importa...

cancer stem cells (cscs) have been defined as a unique subpopulation in tumors, endowed with the capacity to initiate tumor progression, maintain self-renewal as well as metastatic potential. recently, more evidence strongly indicates the existence of cscs in solid tumors of wide variety of organs such as breast, brain and stomach. recent studies suggest that a special subpopulation of gastric ...

The present study , was an attempt to develop galactosylated albumin nanoparticles of Simvastatin for treatment of hypercholesterolemia. By developing the galactosylated nanoparticulated delivery the required action of drug at the target site at liver can be provided. The advantage of targeting helps to reduce the systemic side effects which may be occur due to the distribution of the drug to t...

Customers and consumers are the necessities for the survival of industries and organizations. Trying to improve the process in order to increase consumer satisfaction is the most important aim. The survival of an organization depends on its ability to continue the activities in compliance with the demands of customers to meet their legitimate needs. An organization is successful when it exactly...
