Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) represents approximately 70% of RCC,as the most frequent histological subtype of RCC. MiR-138-5p, a tumor-related microRNA (miRNA), has been reported to be implicated in the diverse types of human malignancies, but its role in ccRCCremains unclear. Objective: The study was designed to investigate the function...

beauveria spp. as entomopathogenic fungi have extremely diverse insect host ranges.here, a comparative transcript analysis of a bassiasin i (bsni), a dipeptidyl peptidase (dpp), a cytochrom p450 monooxygenase (cyp52), a mitogen activated protein kinase (mapk), and a neuronal calcium sensor 1 (ncs) in two isolates of beauveria bassiana., with low and high virulence, were carried out. for this, i...

prose writing was a popular practice in pre-islamic period as well as in islamic one but arabic prose matured in islamic period, so that, underlay islamic civilization and the influence of the holy quran, it was gradually changed and lost some of its primitive qualities. the changes are related not only to these of a new vocabulary and structure but of the content،subject matter and the ways of...

brain edema plays an important role in secondary tissue damage following traumatic brain injury (tbi) but the underlying mechanisms are not entirely elucidated. the g protein coupled receptor fm-4 and its ligands, neuromedin s (nms) and neuromedin u (nmu), are expressed in diverse brain areas, and have a variety of roles in nociception, inflammation, and stress but their probable changes after ...

Objective(s):OCT4 is a transcription factor required for pluripotency during early embryogenesis and the maintenance of identity of embryonic stem cells and pluripotent cells. Therefore, the effective expression regulation of this gene is highly critical. UTR regions are of great significance to gene regulation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential regulatory role played by 5´UT...
