objective: today, esophageal cancer (ec) has become one of the most common cancer types in china. therefore, new drug and therapeutic strategies are urgently needed to improve postoperative survival rate of patients with ec. as a food additive, several lines of evidence have shown that citric acid can be served as glycolysis suppressor to inhibit growth of some tumor cells. however, little is k...

micrornas (mirnas) are a class of small non coding regulatory rnas that have key functions in multiple cell processes. deregulation of these tiny mirnas are involved in various human diseases. mir-155 is one of the multifunctional mirna that its over-expression has been found to be associated with different kinds of cancer such as leukemia, breast and colon cancers. it is thought that deregulat...

Background: Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles are currently one of the important and acceptable magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications. To use magnetite nanoparticles for bacteria cell separation, the surface of nanoparticles would be modified for immobilizing of nanoparticles on the surface of bacteria. Functionalization of magnetite nanoparticles is performed by different s...

background: we had previously identified the genes involved in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck using differential display and dna microarray techniques. we also reported the first analytical study on a novel human gene called loc92912, which was identified by differential display as a gene up-regulated in such carcinomas. loc92912, which is a putative member of the e2 ubiquitin con...
