Context:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short, endogenously-initiated, non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally control gene expression via translational repression or mRNA turnover. MiRNAs have attracted much attention in recent years as they play critical roles in gene expression and are promising tools with many biotech and therapeutic applications. The molecular mechanisms und...

the thioredoxin system, comprising thioredoxin (trx), thioredoxin reductase (trxr) and nadph, is one of the major cellular antioxidant systems, implicated in a large and growing number of biological functions. trx acts as an oxidoreductase via a highly conserved dithiol/disulfide motif located in the active site ( trp-cys-gly-pro- cys-lys-). different factors are involved in the regulation of t...

although antidote development should proceed in an orderly fashion from observation, to experimental and safety studies, to clinical trials, this sequence is not always precisely followed. the development of fomepizole as an antidote for toxic alcohol and glycol poisoning is an example of how this may not be the case. interest in the development of fomepizole was spurred in the 1960s. shortly t...

In this paper, exact solution for two-plane transverse vibration analysis of axial-loaded multi-step Timoshenko rotor carrying concentrated masses is presented. Each attached element is considered to have both translational and rotational inertia. Forward and backward frequencies and corresponding modes are obtained using transfer matrix method (TMM). The effect of the angular velocity of spin,...

objective (s): scar formation in injured peripheral nerve bed causes several consequences which impede the process of nerve regeneration. several animal models are used for scar induction in preclinical studies which target prevention and/or suppression of perineural scar. this study evaluates the translational capacity of four of physical injury models to induce scar formation around the sciat...

worldwide networks of seismic recording instruments mostly record only translational ground motion in two or three orthogonal directions. rotational component of earthquake is not commonly recorded. several theories are available to estimate a torsional component from recorded translational components of ground motion. in this paper detailed investigations are made to study the relative perform...

exosomes, as a mediator of cell-to-cell transfer of genetic information, act an important role in intercommunication between tumor cells and their niche including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, adipocytes and monocytes. several studies have shown that tumor cells can influence their neighboring cells by releasing exosomes. these exosomes provide signaling cues for stimulation, activation, prol...
