Antiangiogenic response after 70% hepatectomy and its relationship with hepatic regeneration and angiogenesis in rats
(2010)Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antiangiogenic response and its relation to regeneration and angiogenesis after 70% hepatectomy in a rat model. Methods: Sixty-four Wistar albino rats were included in ... -
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 ... -
Identification of the fibrogenic cells in the liver
(Bilkent University, 2022-03)The liver is an important multitasking organ with diverse functions to maintain body homeostasis. Adjustment of glucose level, detoxification, secretion of blood proteins, and synthesis of bile acids are the among these ... -
The primary cilia of the gastrointestinal tract in homeostasis and disease at the single-cell level
(Bilkent University, 2021-07)The gastrointestinal tract is regularly renewed by stem cells which divide and differentiate into functionally and morphologically distinct cell types. Several key pathways, such as Wnt, Hedgehog and Bmp, regulate the cell ... -
Quantification of SLIT-ROBO transcripts in hepatocellular carcinoma reveals two groups of genes with coordinate expression
(BioMed Central, 2008)Background: SLIT-ROBO families of proteins mediate axon pathfinding and their expression is not solely confined to nervous system. Aberrant expression of SLIT-ROBO genes was repeatedly shown in a wide variety of cancers, ... -
Role of histone variant H3.3 in transcription and mitotic progression
(Bilkent University, 2017-04)Chromatin structure needs to be dynamic and flexible in order for the eukaryotic cellular processes to function correctly. Incorporation of histone variants into chromatin serves to increase epigenetic plasticity by ... -
Therapeutic approaches to the prevention of liver fibrosis and cancer progression
(Bilkent University, 2015-08)In our previous studies on liver regeneration, we demonstrated that following partial hepatectomy (PH) FLT3 contributes cellular proliferation that provides a basis for liver regeneration. Moreover, we were able to suggest ...
