Bluetongue in small ruminants: An opinionated review, with a brief appraisal of the 2014 outbreak of the disease in Greece and the south-east Europe
(2015)Bluetongue is an arthropod-borne viral disease of ruminants, especially of sheep, caused by Bluetongue virus, which belongs to the genus Orbivirus of the family Reoviridae and is classified into 26 antigenically distinct ... -
Brattleboro rats have impaired apical membrane water permeability regulation in the outer medullary collecting duct principal cells
(2016)Vasopressin (AVP) regulates the body salt-water balance. Brattleboro rats carry an AVP gene mutation resulting in a recessive form of central diabetes insipidus, being ideal for AVP deficiency studies. Herein, we studied ... -
The continuum of SARS-CoV-2's neurotropism and the potential for immune-mediated neuronal injury

COVID-19 Infection among Elite Football Players: A Nationwide Prospective Cohort Study
(2022)Little is known about the risk of COVID-19 infection among footballers. We aimed to investigate the incidence and characteristics of COVID-19 infection among footballers. In total, 480 football players of Super League ... -
Cytological and other aspects of pathogenesis-related gene expression in tomato plants grown on a suppressive compost
(2006)• Background and Aims: Recent studies have shown that certain composts may trigger indirect defence mechanisms by sensitizing the plant to create an increased state of resistance, similar to systemic acquired resistance. ... -
Decreased Expression of the CD3ζ Chain in T Cells Infiltrating the Synovial Membrane of Patients with Osteoarthritis
(2004)Osteoarthritis (OA) is a heterogeneous disease which rheumatologists consider to be noninflammatory. However, recent studies suggest that, at least in certain patients, OA is an inflammatory disease and that patients often ... -
Detection of negative and positive RNA strand of poliovirus Sabin 1 and echovirus E19 by a stem-loop reverse transcription PCR
(2017)In this report a strand specific RT-PCR was established for the detection of the replicative negative RNA strand of poliovirus sabin 1 (Sabin1) and Echovirus 19 (E19) strains. The key for the successful conduction of the ... -
Detection of unusual mutation within the VP1 region of different re-isolates of poliovirus Sabin vaccine
(2006)In the present study, a genomic analysis of full VP1 sequence region of 15 clinical re-isolates (14 healthy vaccinees and one bone marrow tumor patient) was conducted, aiming to the identification of mutations and to the ... -
Development of a multiplex RT-PCR assay for the identification of recombination types at different genomic regions of vaccine-derived polioviruses
(2016)Polioviruses (PVs) are the causal agents of acute paralytic poliomyelitis. Since the 1960s, poliomyelitis has been effectively controlled by the use of two vaccines containing all three serotypes of PVs, the inactivated ... -
Differential expression of leptin and leptin's receptor isoform (Ob-Rb) mRNA between advanced and minimally affected osteoarthritic cartilage; effect on cartilage metabolism
(2007)Objective: To investigate leptin's effect on cartilage metabolism and the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Messenger RNA (mRNA) expression and protein levels of leptin and leptin's receptor isoforms were ... -
Effect of TNF-α inhibitors on transcriptional levels of pro-inflammatory interleukin-33 and Toll-like receptors-2 and -9 in psoriatic plaques
(2015)Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors are considered to be effective in the treatment of psoriatic plaques, although the precise therapeutic pathway is not clear. Pro-inflammatory molecules, such as Toll-like receptor ... -
The effects of heat shock protein 70 addition in the culture medium on the development and quality of in vitro produced heat shocked bovine embryos
(2021)The aims of the present study were to examine the effects of HSP70 addition in the in vitro culture medium of day 3 embryos on their developmental competence and quality. Bovine oocytes (n = 1442) were in vitro matured, ... -
Efforts to create an artificial testis: Culture systems of male germ cells under biochemical conditions resembling the seminiferous tubular biochemical environment
(2005)Induction of meiotic and post-meiotic alterations of male germ cells in vitro has been the target of several research efforts since 1960. However, to date, the establishment of an ideal culture system in which spermatogonial ... -
Enteroviral infection in Greek AIDS patients
(2004)Objective: Prolonged intestinal replication of polioviruses has not previously been studied in Greek AIDS patients. The objective of our study was to estimate the prevalence of enteroviral infections in this population. ... -
Expression of human serum albumin (HSA) mRNA in human granulosa cells: Potential correlation of the 95 amino acid long carboxyl terminal of HSA to gonadotrophin surge-attenuating factor
(2006)Introduction: According to previous studies, gonadotrophin surge-attenuating factor (GnSAF), which is assumed to be produced in human granulosa cells, has a homology with the carboxyl terminal of the human serum albumin ... -
