[ 1 ] - Phospho-SMC1 in-Cell ELISA based Detection of Ataxia Telangiectasia

BackgroundAtaxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a common genetically inherited cause of early childhood-onset ataxia. The infrequency of this disease, vast phenotype variation, disorders with features similar to those of A-T, and lack of definite laboratory test, make diagnosis difficult.  In addition, there is no rapid reliable laboratory method for identifying A-T heterozygotes, who susceptible to i...

[ 2 ] - Gene Expression and Methylation Pattern in HRK Apoptotic Gene in Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are a clonal bone marrow (BM) disease characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis, dysplastic maturation and progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methylation silencing of HRK has been found in several human malignancies. In this study, we explored the association of HRK methylation status with its expression, clinical parameters and MDS subtypes in MDS pa...

[ 3 ] - Myeloid Cell Leukemia-1 Gene Expression and Clinicopathological Features in Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Background and Aims: Myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) plays a pivotal role in the survival of hematologic and solid tumors, and is known as a substantial oncogene. Studies have demonstrated the altered expression of Mcl-1 has been linked to malignancy development and poor prognosis. In this research, we have studied the expression of Mcl-1 mRNA in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients and det...

[ 4 ] - 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...

[ 5 ] - The long-term outcome and efficacy of PR1/BCR-ABL multipeptides vaccination in chronic myeloid leukemia: results of a 7-year longitudinal investigation

Background: Although Imatinib has revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), not all patients reach complete remission and a considerable proportion of the patients develop resistance to Imatinib. Material and Methods: In an attempt to increase the tail on the survival curve, we conducted a Phase I/II study of PR1/BCR-ABL multipeptides vaccination trial in CML patients wit...
