[ 1 ] - Biological and Clinicopathological Significance of Cripto-1 Expression in the Progression of Human ESCC

Background: Human Cripto-1, a member of the EGF-CFC family, is involved in embryonic development, embryonic stem cell maintenance, and tumor progression. It also participates in multiple cell signaling pathways including Wnt, Notch, and TGF-β. Remarkably, it is expressed in cancer stem cell (CSC) compartments, boosting tumor cell migration, invasion, and angiogenesis. Although Cripto-1 is ...

[ 2 ] - GATA3 Gene Polymorphisms Associated with Allergic Rhinitis in an Iranian Population

Background:  The development of allergic rhinitis (AR) is caused by the interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental factors. In this study, the association between GATA3 single nucleotide polymorphisms and AR in an Iranian population was identified. Methods:  This case-control study was performed on 86 patients with AR and 86 healthy subjects. This study aimed to e...

[ 3 ] - Cloning and Expression of 2S Albumin As a Major Allergen of Persian Walnut

Background: Food hypersensitivity to walnut usually results in mild symptoms; however, several cases of anaphylactic reactions to this product have been observed. This study aimed to determine the immunochemical characteristics of the Persian walnut and provide the recombinant form of its main allergen. Materials and Methods: The allergenic proteins of th...

[ 4 ] - Investigating specific expression of ADAM29, FTHL17, and HORMAD1 cancer/testis genes in glioblastoma tumors

Introduction: Glioblastoma primary brain tumor.Immunotherapy is a promising therapeutic adjuvant in fighting against this cancer.  Cancer/testis antigens (CTAs) are a group of tumor-associated antigens that are typically restricted to adult testis, but they are aberrantly expressed in several types of cancers, especially in advanced cancers with stem-like characteristics. These tumor-associate...
