[ 1 ] - Investigation of the Relationship Between a Genetic Polymorphism in ACTN3 and Elite Sport Performance Among Iranian Soccer Players
Objectives: Polymorphisms in α-actinin-3 (ACTN3) gene are considered to be important in the genetic predisposition to human athletic performance. Most of the activities in soccer such as jumping, striking the ball, and running are considered plyometric and explosive. Performance power during such activities depends on the strength of the muscles involved. Therefore, high muscle strength i...
[ 2 ] - Effect of morphine on apoptotic factors caspase-3, PARP and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in nucleus accumbens in conditioned place preference model in rat
Introduction: Nucleus accumbens (NAc) plays a critical role in neuronal reward circuits that are responsible for motivated and goal-directed behaviors. Some data suggest that morphine induces apoptosis in neurons, while other evidences show that morphine could have beneficial effects against neuronal cell death. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of morphine on apoptosis in the N...
[ 3 ] - Lack of Association between Interleukin 23R (IL-23R) rs10889677 Polymorphism and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Susceptibility In an Iranian Population
Background: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), which include ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), are inflammatory disorders that affect the gastrointestinal tract. A combination of inflammatory cytokines has an important role in IBD development. Genome-wide association studies have shown that polymorphisms in the interleukin-23R gene (IL-23R) increase susceptibility to IBD....
[ 4 ] - بررسی زیست سازگاری داربست های کیتوسان/ لامینین
سابقه و هدف: مهندسی بافت حوزه رو به رشدی برای ترمیم و جایگزینی عملکرد معیوب بافت یا ارگان آسیب دیده می باشد و امروزه به عنوان یک درمان نوین، جایگزین روش های مرسوم پیوند مطرح گردیده و به این منظور مواد زیستی پلیمری(داربست ها) و سلول های زنده را به کار می گیرد. داربست هایی در مقیاس زیر میکرون و نانو ساخته می شود که ساختاری مشابه ماتریکس طبیعی خارج سلولی (ECM) بوده و از چسبندگی، تکثیر و تمایزسلولی...
[ 5 ] - Electrospun biocompatible Gelatin-Chitosan/Polycaprolactone/Hydroxyapatite nanocomposite scaffold for bone tissue engineering
In recent years, nanocomposite scaffolds made of bioactive polymers have found multiple applications in bone tissue engineering. In this study composite nanofibrous structure of gelatin (Gel)/chitosan (Cs)-polycaprolactone (PCL) containing hydroxyapatite (HA) were fabricated using co-electrospinning process. To assay the biocompatibility and bioactivity of electrospun nanocomposite scaffolds, t...

[ 7 ] - Investigation of selective CDK4/6 inhibitor (Abemaciclib) cytotoxicity effects on human anaplastic thyroid cancer
Background: Thyroid cancer is one of the most common endocrine malignancies. Anaplastic thyroid cancer is a rare and dead full cancer among types of the thyroid cancer. Despite the conventional chemotherapy, a considerable number of the patients show developing chemo resistance. Therefore, there is a necessary need to find the novel therapeutic approaches in the anaplastic thyroid cancer patien...
[ 8 ] - HOTAIR Induces the Downregulation of miR-200 Family Members in Gastric Cancer Cell Lines
Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common human malignancy and the second reason for cancer morbidity worldwide. Long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) has recently emerged as a promoter of metastasis in various cancer types, including GC, through the epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. However, the exact mechanism of HOTAIR in promoting E...
