Characterization of a novel zebrafish (Danio rerio) gene, wdr81, associated with cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation and dysequilibrium syndrome (CAMRQ)
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2015)Background: WDR81 (WD repeat-containing protein 81) is associated with cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation and disequilibrium syndrome (CAMRQ2, [MIM 610185]). Human and mouse studies suggest that it might be a gene of ... -
Charged bosons in a quasi-one-dimensional system
(American Physical Society, 2000)The ground-state properties of a system of charged bosons in a quasi-one-dimensional model with a neutralizing background are investigated within the hypernetted-chain approximation. Strong correlation effects drive the ... -
Chitosan polysaccharide suppress toll like receptor dependent immune response
(Turkish Society of Immunology, 2015)Objectives: Chitosan is a widely used vaccine or anti-cancer delivery vehicle. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effect of chitosan/pIC nanocomplexes on mouse immune cells. Materials and methods: Proliferative ... -
The cholesterol transporter ABCG1 links cholesterol homeostasis and tumour immunity
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 (ABCG1) promotes cholesterol efflux from cells and regulates intracellular cholesterol homeostasis. Here we demonstrate a role of ABCG1 as a mediator of tumour immunity. Abcg1-/- mice ... -
Circuit partitioning using mean field annealing
(Elsevier, 1995)Mean field annealing (MFA) algorithm, proposed for solving combinatorial optimization problems, combines the characteristics of neural networks and simulated annealing. Previous works on MFA resulted with successful mapping ... -
Circulating LL37 targets plasma extracellular vesicles to immune cells and intensifies Behçet's disease severity
(Taylor and Francis, 2017-02)Behçet's disease (BD) activity is characterised by sustained, over-exuberant immune activation, yet the underlying mechanisms leading to active BD state are poorly defined. Herein, we show that the human cathelicidin derived ... -
Colon cancer associated transcript-1 (CCAT1) expression in adenocarcinoma of the stomach
(Ivyspring International Publisher, 2015)Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to have functional roles in cancer biology and are dys-regulated in many tumors. Colon Cancer Associated Transcript -1 (CCAT1) is a lncRNA, previously shown to be ... -
Common telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter mutations in hepatocellular carcinomas from different geographical locations
(WJG Press, 2015)AIM: To determine the mutation status of human telomerase reverse transcriptase gene (TERT ) promoter region in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from different geographical regions. METHODS: We analyzed the genomic DNA ... -
Content-based retrieval of historical Ottoman documents stored as textual images
(IEEE, 2004)There is an accelerating demand to access the visual content of documents stored in historical and cultural archives. Availability of electronic imaging tools and effective image processing techniques makes it feasible to ... -
Cyclodextrin-functionalized mesostructured silica nanoparticles for removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(Academic Press Inc., 2017)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the byproducts of the incomplete combustion of carbon-based fuels, and have high affinity towards DNA strands, ultimately exerting their carcinogenic effects. They are ... -
Cytotoxic activities of some benzothiazole-piperazine derivatives
(Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2015)Synthesis, characterization and cytotoxic activities of ten benzothiazole-piperazine derivatives were reported. In vitro cytotoxic activities of compounds were screened against hepatocellular (HUH-7), breast (MCF-7) and ... -
Cytotoxic activity of resveratrol in different cell lines evaluated by MTT and NRU assays
(Turkish Pharmacists Association, 2016)Oxidative stress is the state of imbalance between the level of antioxidant defence system and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and is involded in the progression of several diseases such as inflammation, cancer, ... -
Data mining experiments on the Angiotensin II-Antagonist in Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (ANTIPAF-AFNET 2) trial: ‘exposing the invisible’
(Oxford University Press, 2016)Aims: The aims of this study include (i) pursuing data-mining experiments on the Angiotensin II-Antagonist in Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (ANTIPAF-AFNET 2) trial dataset containing atrial fibrillation (AF) burden scores ... -
Design of a novel MRI compatible manipulator for image guided prostate interventions
(IEEE, 2005-02)This paper reports a novel remotely actuated manipulator for access to prostate tissue under magnetic resonance imaging guidance (APT-MRI) device, designed for use in a standard high-field MRI scanner. The device provides ... -
Differential expression patterns of metastasis suppressor proteins in basal cell carcinoma
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2015)Background: Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are common malignant skin tumors. Despite having a significant invasion capacity, they metastasize only rarely. Our aim in this study was to detect the expression patterns of the ... -
Discrimination against teenagers in the mall environment: a case from Ankara, Turkey
(Libra Publishers, 2009-02)Teenagers spend much of their leisure time at shopping malls which is a result of factors such as parental constraint due to the incivility of the streets, financial dependence, and limited financial resources. Migros, a ... -
Disrupted network topology in patients with stable and progressive mild cognitive impairment and alzheimer's disease
(Oxford University Press, 2016)Recent findings suggest that Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a disconnection syndrome characterized by abnormalities in large-scale networks. However, the alterations that occur in network topology during the prodromal stages ... -
Div-blast: Diversification of sequence search results
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Sequence similarity tools, such as BLAST, seek sequences most similar to a query from a database of sequences. They return results significantly similar to the query sequence and that are typically highly similar to each ... -
DNA repair gene polymorphisms and bladder cancer susceptibility in a Turkish population
(International Institute of Anticancer Research, 2006)Background: Occupational exposure and life style preferences, such as smoking are the main known environmental susceptibility factors for bladder cancer. A growing list of chemicals has been shown to induce oxidative DNA ... -
Drug delivery system based on cyclodextrin-naproxen inclusion complex incorporated in electrospun polycaprolactone nanofibers
(Elsevier, 2014)In this study, we select naproxen (NAP) as a reference drug and electrospun poly (e-caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers as a fibrous matrix for our drug-delivery system. NAP was complexed with beta-cyclodextrin (βCD) to form ...
