Expression of Recombinant Human Amelogenin in Iranian Lizard Leishmania and Its Biological Function Assay

Background: Amelogenins are the major components of enamel matrix proteins. Enamel matrix derivatives (EMD) can be used in periodontal diseases to regenerate periodontal tissues. The main aim of this study was to evaluate ex-pression of ful...

Poly (ADP-ribose) Polymerase Promoter Hypermethylation Predispose Females to Breast Cancer

Being the most common cause of female deaths worldwide, breast cancer (BC) is intensively studied over the last two decades. In the present investigation, we evaluated the promoter methylation of three cancer-related genes; PARP-1, p21, and...

Dietary nutrition, intestinal microbiota dysbiosis and post-weaning diarrhea in piglets

Weaning is a critical transitional point in the life cycle of piglets. Early weaning can lead to post-weaning syndrome, destroy the intestinal barrier function and microbiota homeostasis, cause diarrhea and threaten the health of piglets. T...

Medical Biotechnology: Problems and Prospects in Bangladesh

Biotechnology is the knowledge and techniques of developing and using biological systems for deriving special products and services. The age-old technology took a new turn with the advent of recombinant DNA techniques, and boosted by the de...

Medical Biotechnology in Society

This chapter provides relevant scientific and historical information relating to genetic testing and human embryonic stem (hES) cell therapies and describes some of the societal issues surrounding them. The risks of invasive diagnostic test...

Medical biotechnology: prospects in Malaysia

The blooming interdisciplinary research in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is well-received by scientists who perceived this as a massive opportunity to the great era of medical biotechnology. In Malaysia, tropical d...

Synthesis of Lawsonia inermis-encased silver–copper bimetallic nanoparticles with antioxidant, antibacterial, and cytotoxic activity

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Defective DNA repair and chromatin organization in patients with quiescent systemic lupus erythematosus

Abstract Background Excessive autoantibody production characterizing systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) occurs irrespective of the disease’s clinical status and is linked to increased lymphocyte apoptosis. Herein, we tested the hypothesis t...

Specific egg yolk immunoglobulin as a promising non-antibiotic biotherapeutic product against Acinetobacter baumannii pneumonia infection

Abstract Acinetobacter baumannii is a serious health threat with a high mortality rate. We have already reported prophylactic effects of IgYs raised against OmpA and Omp34 as well as against inactivated whole-cell (IWC) of A. baumannii in a...

Flexibility-powered Pickering emulsion enhances mucus permeability to alleviate ulcerative colitis

Abstract The physicochemical properties of oral drug delivery carriers significantly influence their interactions with the intestinal barrier, which, in turn, affect their in vivo fate and therapeutic efficacy. As a delivery system with a h...

Extramedullary plasmacytoma of the oral cavity metastasising to both kidneys in a dog

Abstract Background Most extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMPs) aresolitary and located in the head and neck region. They may also occur in the visceral parts of the body. Objectives Here, we report a case of oral EMP followed by neoplastic pl...

KRAS G12V neoantigen specific T cell receptor for adoptive T cell therapy against tumors

Abstract KRAS mutations are broadly recognized as promising targets for tumor therapy. T cell receptors (TCRs) can specifically recognize KRAS mutant neoantigens presented by human lymphocyte antigen (HLA) and mediate T cell responses to el...

In Vitro Evaluation of Polihexanide, Octenidine and NaClO/HClO-Based Antiseptics against Biofilm Formed by Wound Pathogens

Chronic wounds complicated with biofilm formed by pathogens remain one of the most significant challenges of contemporary medicine. The application of topical antiseptic solutions against wound biofilm has been gaining increasing interest a...

Chromosomal Instability in Various Generations of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Following the Therapeutic Radiation

Background. Radiotherapy is a crucial treatment for most malignancies. However, it can cause several side effects, including the development of secondary malignancies due to radiation-induced genomic instability (RIGI). The aim of this stud...

Impact of Prolonged COVID-19 Lockdown on Body Mass Index, Eating Habits, and Physical Activity of University Students in Bangladesh: A Web-Based Cross-Sectional Study

ObjectivesThis current study aims to assess the prevalence and factors associated with body mass index (BMI), dietary patterns, and the extent of physical activities among university students following the prolonged coronavirus disease 2019...

Developments in Exploring Fungal Secondary Metabolites as Antiviral Compounds and Advances in HIV-1 Inhibitor Screening Assays

The emergence of drug-resistant Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 strains against anti-HIV therapies in the clinical pipeline, and the persistence of HIV in cellular reservoirs remains a significant concern. Therefore, there is a continuous ne...

A Novel Prognostic Scoring Model for Myelodysplastic Syndrome Patients With SF3B1 Mutation

The outcomes of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients with SF3B1 mutation, despite identified as a favorable prognostic biomarker, are variable. To comprehend the heterogeneity in clinical characteristics and outcomes, we reviewed 140 MDS...

Expanding the genetic spectrum of hereditary motor sensory neuropathies in Pakistan

Abstract Background Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) refers to a group of inherited progressive peripheral neuropathies characterized by reduced nerve conduction velocity with chronic segmental demyelination and/or axonal dege...
