Background & Aims: Endurance training has an important role in the prevention and adjuvant therapy of breast cancer. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of endurance training on miR- 155 expression, signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) gene expression, and interleukin 6 (IL-6) protein in breast cancer tumor in mice. Methods: In this study, 16 female Ba...

An electrostatic manipulation method has been presented by directly mixing oppositely charged noble metal nanoparticle solutions to prepare the corresponding hydrogels without introducing additional reagents.

conclusions results showed that hcvcp + bcg induced a moderate ctl and mixed th1/th2 immune responses with higher levels of cell proliferation and ifn-γ secretion, indicating that bcg may have a better outcome when formulated in hcvcp-based subunit vaccines. results expression and purification of core protein around the expected size (21 kda) was confirmed by western blotting. the hcvcp + bcg v...

In a recent preprint, Bestvina, Bux, and Margalit construct a cell complex that gives a combinatorial model for the collection of isotopy classes of oriented curve systems within a given homology class in a closed orientable surface [BBM]. A key property of the complex is that it is contractible. Here we will construct a different complex, this one a simplicial complex rather than a cell comple...

The intermolecular interaction among phthalocyanine molecules deposited on Ag(111) has been investigated at submonolayer coverages. By means of infrared absorption spectroscopy and spot-profile analysis low-energy electron diffraction, unambiguous evidence for an attractive between neighboring titanyl-phthalocyanine (TiOPc) is found dilute layers, which in contrast to the repulsion reported cop...
