Steroid hormone receptors have been traditionally considered to act via the regulation of transcriptional processes, involving nuclear translocation and binding to specific response elements, and ultimately leading to regulation of gene expression. However, novel non-transcriptional mechanisms of signal transduction through steroid hormone receptors have been identified. These so-called 'non-ge...

Gonads are very peculiar organs given their bipotential competence. Indeed, early differentiating genital ridges evolve into either of 2 very distinct organs: the testis or the ovary. Accumulating evidence now demonstrates that both genetic pathways must repress the other in order for the organs to differentiate properly, meaning that if this repression is disrupted or attenuated, the other pat...

background epstein-barr virus (ebv) is a dna virus which belongs to the herpesviridae family and in γ-herpesvirus subfamily, has been infected about 95% of the world’s population. ebv is transmitted through saliva and associated with different disease such as infectious mononucleosis, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, burkitt`s lymphoma, hodgkin and non-hodgkin`s lymphoma. the study proposed to determi...

In the present study, the efficacy of letrozole, a potent nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor, and 17α-methyltestosterone on gondal sex differentiation and sex reversal was examined in Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). Among the doses tried in the experiment, 100 mg letrozole, 200 mg letrozole, and 50 mg 17α-methyltestosterone/kg produced male dominated populations (97-100% males). The...

the non-commuting graph $nabla(g)$ of a non-abelian group $g$ is defined as follows: its vertex set is $g-z(g)$ and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are joined by an edge if and only if the commutator of $x$ and $y$ is not the identity. in this paper we 'll prove that if $g$ is a finite group with $nabla(g)congnabla(bs_{n})$, then $g cong bs_{n}$, where $bs_{n}$ is the symmetric group of degre...
