Recently, high-throughput technologies such as the two-hybrid system, protein chip, Mass Spectrometry, and the phage display have furnished a lot of data on protein-protein interactions (PPIs), but the data has not been accurate so far and the quantity has also been limited. In this respect, computational techniques for the prediction and validation of PPIs have been developed. However, existin...

Abstract Introduction Tight junctions (TJs) maintain cell adhesion. Modulation can promote dissociation/motility/ metastasis. Occludin is a transmembrane protein within TJs and may play role in TJ modulation. The aim of this research was to identify the expression human lung cancer its effect motility/dissociation. Methods qPCR used quantify transcripts cohort (n=80) (Peking University Cancer H...

Introduction: Clinical MR is predominantly geared towards the imaging of “long” T2 species (T2’s greater than 10 ms). However, musculoskeletal (MSK) tissues of interest, such as ligaments (T2 ≈ 4-10 ms), tendons (T2 ≈ 2 ms) and cortical bone (T2 ≈ 0.5ms) often exhibit low signal intensity in images acquired using clinical MR sequences [1]. Three specialized sequences designed to overcome these ...

Investigators often study rats by microCT to investigate the pathogenesis and treatment of skeletal disorders in humans. However, microCT measurements provide information only on bone mineral content and not the solid matrix. CT scans are often carried out on cancellous bone, which contains a significant volume of marrow cells, stroma, water, and fat, and thus the apparent bone mineral density ...

landmark based geometric morphometrics and comparison of meristic characters was used to understand potential differences between populations of waspi in mashkil and mokran basins. 97 specimens of waspies were caught (64 from mashkil river and 33 from sarbaz river). 14 landmarks were digitized on pictures taken from left side of specimens and meristic characters were counted. data were analyzed...
