The advancements in nanotechnology have quickly developed a new subject with vast applications of nanostructured materials medicine and pharmaceuticals. enormous surface-to-volume ratio, ease surface modification, outstanding biocompatibility, and, the case mesoporous nanoparticles, tunable pore size make silica nanoparticles (SNPs) promising candidate for nano-based medical applications. prepa...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (cns) caused by autoreactive t cells against myelin antigens. t-cell immunoglobulin mucin -3 (tim-3) is a negative regulator glycoprotein expressed by a range of immune cells, including, th1 cells, activated cd8+ t cells and in a lower level on th17 cells. a defect in tim-3 regulation has been shown in mu...

Silica nanoparticles (SNPs) are widely used in many scientific and industrial fields despite the lack of proper evaluation of their potential toxicity. This study examined the effects of acute exposure to SNPs, either alone or in conjunction with ovalbumin (OVA), by studying the respiratory systems in exposed mouse models. Three types of SNPs were used: spherical SNPs (S-SNPs), mesoporous SNPs ...

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) is a viral disease that seriously affects the swine industry. The main method of control vaccination, which has shown variable effectiveness partly attributed to genetic variability in sows. objective was validate single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with performance traits following PRRS vaccination replacement A population 100 ...

background: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is one of the most common endocrine women’s disorders in reproductive age. hyperandrogenism has a critical role in the etiology of pcos and it can cause fault in steroidogenesis process. during steroidogenesis, steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (star) seems to increase the delivery of cholesterol through mitochondrial membrane. therefore, polymo...

background: histones are replaced by protamines to condensate and package dna into the sperm head during mammalian spermatogenesis. protamine genes defects have been reported to cause sperm dna damage and male infertility. objective: in this study relationship among some protamines genes family snps include prm1 (c321a), prm2 (c248t) and tnp2 (t1019c), (g1272c), (g del in 1036 and 1046 bp) were...
