Expression of Thanatin in HEK293 Cells and Investigation of its Antibacterial Effects on Some Human Pathogens
Background: Thanatin is the smallest member of Beta-hairpin class of cationic peptide derived from insects with vast activities against various pathogens.
Objective: In this study, the antimicrobial activity of this ...
Inhibition of gene expression by DNAi
Today, the use of oligonucleotides to control gene expression is of a great interest. Single-stranded DNA is a class of oligonucleotides, antisense that follows the completion of the promoter and, by connecting it, causes ...
Detection of butchers fraud in meat markets with bovine carcass sex determination by means of PCR
Meat of male animals is commercially more valuable than female animals, because females kept for reproduction and normally slaughtered in older age, when the length and rigidity of muscle fibers is increased and the level ...
In silico evaluation of anti-retroviral effects of lactoferrin from different species
Lactoferrin (lf) is an iron binding glycoprotein that is present in body fluids and mucosal secretions. antimicrobial properties of lf against bacteria, fungi and several viruses have been approved in a large number ...
In silico study of anti-CCHFV effect of lactoferrin from different origin
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a mortal viral infection. Human beings become infected through tick bites, or by contact with blood or tissues from viraemic livestock. Recent studies suggest that ribavirin is ...
In silico comparison of binding of lactoferrin from different species to receptors involved in the development of cognitive function in infants
Mothers milk is recommended for all newborn children. nonetheless, in some cases, breastfeeding is
insufficient or unsuccessful or harmful for some medical reasons, or the mother decides not to bosom feed either at ...
Inhibitory effects of siRNA on Myostatin expression in C2C12 cells
Myostatin is a growth-promoting factor that inhibits muscle growth during the myogenic process. When myostatin is active, cells quickly differentiate into muscle cells that prevent their growth. The inhibition of the ...
Proposing a probable pathway for anticancer effect of the recombinant Trombocidin-1 peptide
Introduction: Cancer has been always a serious global health problem. Only in 2012, 14.1 million new cases of cancers and 8.2 million deaths due to cancer have been reported (Ferlay et al. 2015). Environmentally induced ...
