BOOK REVIEW Synergistic Interaction and Cell Responses to Environmental Factors
نویسنده
چکیده
One of the aims of this Monograph is to determine whether the synergistic interaction of ionizing radiation and hyperthermia and other factors are connected with the impairment of the recovery capacity per se or to the production of irreversible damages which cannot be repaired. A quantitative approach describing the recovery process was presented and firstly applied to estimate the recovery constant, i.e. the probability of recovery per time unit, and the irreversible component after the combined thermo-radiation action. It was shown that the probability of cell recovery was independent of conditions of the thermo-radiation action while the irreversible component gradually increased as a function of thermal load.

Background and purpose: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that is caused by hypersensitivity to environmental allergens. Symptoms of asthma include shortness of breath, airway hyper-responsiveness, wheezing, and cough. The disease might vary from a mild to severe and intermittent to chronic disease. Asthma is known as a multifactorial disease due to the interaction of gene...

Therapeutic use of biological response modulators in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs may propose a more efficient way for cancer therapy with fewer side effects. However, the related mechanism has not been well understood. Γ-interferon is a modulator of biological responses that inhibits the growth of malignant cells and mediates their differentiation. In this investigation, T cell lymp...

Introduction: Epigenetic mechanisms regulate expression of the genome to generate various cell types during development or coordinate cellular responses to external stimulus. While epigenetics is of fundamental importance in eukaryotes, it plays a different role in bacteria. This article uncovers the most important recent data on how bacteria can alter epigenetic marks and can also contribute t...

The occurrence of viral co-infection is a common phenomenon in cultivated and native plant species and can alter the dynamics of virus infection. In this study, disease progress was examined in single and mixed infections of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) by measuring the rate of symptom development, disease severity and area under disease progress curve on infe...
