objective(s): chemoresistance remains the main causes of treatment failure and mortality in cancer patients. there is an urgent need to investigate novel approaches to improve current therapeutic modalities and increase cancer patients' survival. induction of drug efflux due to overexpression of                  p-glycoproteins is considered as an important leading cause of multidrug resis...

Background: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful non-invasive technique that provides highresolution anatomical images of biological tissue based on their inherent physio-chemical properties. The signal from MRI can be modulated by contrast agents, which can be specifically directed to cells and molecules of interest, thereby providing an opportunity for targeted imaging. Aims: We pro...

Essentials Platelets play an important role in pathogen recognition. Platelets contain several complement factors and can interact with E. coli. Platelet's complement protein C3 differs from plasmatic C3 in its electrophoretic mobility. Upon contact with bacteria, platelets are activated and can enhance complement activation. SUMMARY Background The role of platelets in immune defense is incre...
