esophagus cancer is the eighth most common cancer worldwide and particularly high in an area extending from the southern border of the caspian sea in iran across central asia to china. since information about this mysterious disease is poor, proteomics may be solving this enigma. altering gene expression in cancer cell is a remarkable indicator can be detected by proteomics techniques and bioin...

background: ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of death from malignancy in women. cd4 +cd25+foxp3+ regulatory t (treg) cells are a subset of t lymphocytes with great inhibitory impact on immune response. objectives: to investigate the percentage of cd4 +cd25+foxp3+ regulatory t cells in the peripheral blood of the iranian patients with epithelial ovarian cancer compared to healthy women ...

background: chemo-immunotherapy is one of the new achievements for treatment of cancer, by which the success of anti-cancer therapy can be increased. in vitro studies have been shown that arteether (are) induces apoptosis in tumor cells, but not in normal cells. objective: to investigate the cytotoxic and immunomodulatory properties of arteether in-vivo and in-vitro. methods: in this study, we ...
