background: taenia multiceps is a cestode parasite with its larval stage(metacestode), coenurus cerebralis , mainly encysts in the central nervous system of sheep and other livestock causing cerebralis coenurosis. since treatment of coenurosis with chemotherapy showed little effect and surgical removal of cysts is not advisable in field conditions, vaccination is useful to control coenurosis. p...

The interaction of heme with blood serum proteins plays an important role in many physiological and pathological processes involving enzyme activity, gene expression cell proliferation. mechanisms underlying these interactions are; however, not yet fully understood. New analytical methods able to investigate protein-heme binding native, biologically representative conditions are thus required. ...

The mechanism that mediates the interaction between contractile ring and plasma membrane during cytokinesis remains elusive. We previously found ERM (Ezrin/Radixin/Moesin) proteins, which usually mediate cellular pole contraction, become over-accumulated at cell equator support furrow ingression upon loss of other actin-membrane associated anillin supervillin. In this study, we addressed molecu...

titanium (ti) is a relatively abundant element that has found growing applications in medical science and recently some of ti compounds are introduced as anticancer drugs. in spite of very limited data which exist on the ti metabolism, some proteins might be involved in the mechanism of action of ti. up to our knowledge, there is not any report in the literature concerning binding of ti to apol...
