Tandem repetitions in transcriptomes of some Solanaceae species
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-04)Characterization of occurrence, density and motif sequence of tandem repeats in the transcribed regions is helpful in understanding the functional significance of these repeats in the modern genomes. We analyzed tandem ... -
Targeting AGEs pathway in delayed diabetic wound healing
(African Science Publications, 2021-01-01)Introduction: Diabetic complications as peripheral neuropathy and delayed wound healing affect patient’s quality of life and may lead to amputation. Several mechanisms are involved in mediating these complications including ... -
TLR5 involvement in attenuated IL-8 production in nuclear decorin silenced oral mucosal dysplastic keratinocytes and squamous cell carcinoma
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-10)Head and neck cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the world. Roughly half of these malignancies originate from oral mucosa and constitute Oral squamous cell carcinomas. Despite many advances in diagnostic and ... -
Toxicological studies on Acanthus montanus leaf extracts in male and female albino rats
(African Science Publications, 2021-01-01)Leaves of Acanthus montanus have been used traditionally in treatment of several diseases such as skin diseases. This work was designed to evaluate toxicological impact of A. montanus extracts in male and female albino ... -
TRPC3 and TRPC6 Contribute to the Pathogenesis of Hypertension
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015-10)Recently studies found that TRPC3 and TRPC6 played an important role in cardiovascular disease. Hypertension, as a cardiovascular disease causing the highest morbidity and mortality, has close relationship with the ... -
Uncovering disease determinants of Covid-19 through analysis of its molecular evolution
(African Science Publications, 2020-07-09)Covid-19 was first reported in Wuhan China but has now spread globally with overwhelming impacts on human health and health systems. The disease is caused by the SARs-Cov-2 which is related to the SARs-Cov-1 that causes ... -
Unusual metallo-β-lactamases may constitute a new subgroup in this family of enzymes
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014-01)Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are a family of Zn2+-dependent enzymes that have contributed strongly to the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance. Novel members as well as variants of existing members of this family ... -
The use of Bacillus subtilis bacteria as a tool to assess the toxicity of pharmaceuticals in the environment
(African Science Publications, 2021-04-05)Pharmaceuticals and personal care products are now known as microcontaminants due to their effects on bacterial resistance and effect on non-targeted organisms. Most recently, these substances have been found in surface ... -
Using Bayesian and Eigen approaches to study spatial genetic structure of Moroccan and Syrian durum wheat landraces
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-01)The Mediterranean durum wheat landraces are genetically diverse and important sources for improving resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses and developing adapted and productive durum wheat varieties in the Mediterranean ... -
Variations of biomass and carbon contents in different traits and components of herbaceous species from tropical grassland
(African Journal of Biological Sciences, 2019-04-12)Grasslands play a critical role in the global storage of atmospheric carbon (C). Precise estimation of C contents in different plant components is essential to formulate a strategy for mitigating the atmospheric C. Biomass ... -
Viruses, the vehicle for cancer gene therapy: A Review
(African Science Publications, 2020-07-09)Cancer diseases are among the world’s leading causes of death, and this global burden is expected to rise in the next two decades. Researchers have been focusing on gene treatment strategy to curb this growing number. To ...
