Advanced Non-linear Mathematical Model for the Prediction of the Activity of a Putative Anticancer Agent in Human-to-mouse Cancer Xenografts
(2020)Background/Aim: Mathematical models have long been considered as important tools in cancer biology and therapy. Herein, we present an advanced non-linear mathematical model that can predict accurately the effect of an ... -
Alanyl-glutamine restores tight junction organization after disruption by a conventional peritoneal dialysis fluid
(2020)Understanding and targeting the molecular basis of peritoneal solute and protein transport is essential to improve peritoneal dialysis (PD) efficacy and patient outcome. Supplementation of PD fluids (PDF) with alanyl-glutamine ... -
Bovine colostrum supplementation improves bone metabolism in an osteoporosis-induced animal model
(2021)Osteoporosis is characterized by bone loss. The present study aims to investigate the effects of bovine colostrum (BC) on bone metabolism using ovariectomized (OVX) and orchidec-tomized (ORX) rat models. Twenty-seven-week-old ... -
Comparative evaluation of metallic skin staples or polypropylene sutures for primary closure of teat wounds in sheep
(2019)Aims: To compare stainless steel staples and polypropylene suture material for primary closure of wounds after teat amputation in ewes and to assess progress of healing in the presence or absence of intramammary infection ... -
Constituents of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) as potential candidates for the treatment of anxiety disorders and schizophrenia
(2016)Anxiety disorders and schizophrenia are common public health issues. The dried stigma of the plant Crocus sativus L., (C. sativus) commonly known as saffron are used in folk medicine for various purposes. Several lines of ... -
Coronaviruses and their relationship with multiple sclerosis: is the prevalence of multiple sclerosis going to increase after the Covid-19 pandemia?
(2022)The purpose of this review is to examine whether there is a possible (etiological/triggering) relationship between infection with various Coronaviruses, including Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-related Coronavirus-2 ... -
Curcumin for the management of periodontitis and early ACPA-positive rheumatoid arthritis: Killing two birds with one stone
(2018)We propose curcumin as a preventive measure to avoid/manage periodontitis (PD), and as a natural immunosuppressant for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). PD, mainly caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis forming biofilm and leading ... -
Differential quantitative proteomics study of experimental Mannheimia haemolytica mastitis in sheep
(2019)Objective was the differential quantitative proteomics study of ovine mastitis induced by Mannheimia haemolytica; clinical, microbiological, cytological and histopathological methods were employed for confirmation and ... -
Discovery and characterization of 2-anilino-4- (thiazol-5-yl)pyrimidine transcriptional CDK inhibitors as anticancer agents
(2010)The main difficulty in the development of ATP antagonist kinase inhibitors is target specificity, since the ATP-binding motif is present in many proteins. We introduce a strategy that has allowed us to identify compounds ... -
Dose-Dependent Effects of Ranolazine on Reentrant Ventricular Arrhythmias Induced After Subacute Myocardial Infarction in Rabbits
(2020)Ranolazine has been found to prevent ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) during acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study aimed to investigate its efficacy on VAs induced several days post-MI. For this purpose, 13 anesthetized ... -
Editorial for special issue “genetic basis and epidemiology of myopathies”
(2021)We are pleased to announce a Special Issue on the Genetic Basis and Epidemiology of Myopathies. This Special Issue is collecting papers pertaining to various lines of research focusing on the genetic basis and the epidemiology ... -
Efficacy of an AS03 A-adjuvanted split H5N1 influenza vaccine against an antigenically distinct low pathogenic H5N1 virus in pigs
(2012)We used the pig model of influenza to examine the efficacy of an AS03 A-adjuvanted split H5N1 (A/Indonesia/05/2005) vaccine against challenge with a low pathogenic (LP) H5N1 avian influenza (AI) virus (duck/Minnesota/1525/1981) ... -
Evidence of blood and muscle redox status imbalance in experimentally induced renal insufficiency in a rabbit model
(2019)Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is accompanied by a disturbed redox homeostasis, especially in end-stage patients, which is associated with pathological complications such as anemia, atherosclerosis, and muscle atrophy. ... -
Flash proton radiotherapy spares normal epithelial and mesenchymal tissues while preserving sarcoma response
(2021)In studies of electron and proton radiotherapy, ultrahigh dose rates of FLASH radiotherapy appear to produce fewer toxicities than standard dose rates while maintaining local tumor control. FLASHproton radiotherapy (F-PRT) ... -
FV vectors as alternative gene vehicles for gene transfer in HSCs
(2020)Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) are a unique population of cells, capable of reconstituting the blood system of an organism through orchestrated self-renewal and differentiation. They play a pivotal role in stem cell ... -
Hepatocyte autotaxin expression promotes liver fibrosis and cancer
(2017)Autotaxin (ATX) is a secreted lysophospholipase D that catalyzes the production of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a pleiotropic growth-factor–like lysophospholipid. Increased ATX expression has been detected in various chronic ... -
Initial Immune Response in Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans Bacteremia
(2020)Sepsis remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide and is characterized by sustained inflammatory responses, reflected as changes in the expression profile of cytokines with time. The aim of the present study was to ... -
