Background Endometriosis is a gynecological disease defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, which caused by various factors. Recent evidences support the presence of endometrial stem cells and their possible involvement in endometriosis. Related studies mainly focus on stemness-related genes, and pluripotency markers may play a role in the etiology of endometri...

signal transducers and activators of transcription (stats) are cytoplasmic transcription factors that have a key role in cell fate. stats, a protein family comprised of seven members, are proteins which are latent cytoplasmic transcription factors that convey signals from the cell surface to the nucleus through activation by cytokines and growth factors. the signaling pathways have diverse biol...

background and aims: the e2f family of transcription factors is encoded by at least eight genes, e2f1-8. these proteins are important targets of the retinoblastoma protein (rb) contributed in regulation of transcription, cell cycle and apoptosis. the aim of this study was to investigate the expression levels of e2f protein family including e2f1, e2f2, e2f7, e2f8 and rb1 in the lineage negative ...

Salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses that decrease crop production. Transcription factors (TFs) are prominent regulators in plant responses to abiotic stress. In the present study, the expression pattern of four salt-induced genes encoding transcription factors, namely, MYB, RF2, GTF, and ARID was studied in response to salt stress (sodium chloride) and recovery conditions. Th...
