Biological properties of extracellular vesicles and their physiological functions
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)In the past decade, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been recognized as potent vehicles of intercellular communication, both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This is due to their capacity to transfer proteins, lipids and ... -
A chronic myeloid leukemia-like syndrome case with del (12) (p12) in a Li-Fraumeni syndrome family
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2005)Li-Fraumeni syndrome is a familial cancer syndrome characterized by different tumors and hereditary p53 mutations. Here, a chronic myeloid leukemia-like syndrome case in a Li-Fraumeni syndrome family with del (12) (p12) ... -
Examining the annealing schedules for RNA design algorithm
(IEEE, 2016-07)RNA structures are important for many biological processes in the cell. One important function of RNA are as catalytic elements. Ribozymes are RNA sequences that fold to form active structures that catalyze important ... -
Extreme clonality in lymphoblastoid cell lines with implications for allele specific expression analyses
(2008)Lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) are being actively and extensively used to examine the expression of specific genes and (genome-wide expression profiles, including allele specific expression assays. However, it has recently ... -
Heparin mimetic peptide nanofiber gel promotes regeneration of full thickness burn injury
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017)Burn injuries are one of the most common types of trauma worldwide, and their unique physiology requires the development of specialized therapeutic materials for their treatment. Here, we report the use of synthetic, ... -
Heterotrophic ammonium removal by a novel hatchery isolate Acinetobacter calcoaceticus STB1
(2012)A novel bacterial strain, STB1, was isolated from a commercial sea bass hatchery and found to display high heterotrophic ammonium removal characteristics at different concentrations of ammonium (NH4+-N). The species identity ... -
A highly sensitive and specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of antibodies to hepatitis C virus
(2000)In this study, a 178 amino acids long portion of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) core gene was cloned, sequenced, expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified. The resulting antigen (C178) was tested with human sera enzyme-linked ... -
Inositol‐requiring enzyme‐1 regulates phosphoinositide signaling lipids and macrophage growth
(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2020-11)The ER‐bound kinase/endoribonuclease (RNase), inositol‐requiring enzyme‐1 (IRE1), regulates the phylogenetically most conserved arm of the unfolded protein response (UPR). However, the complex biology and pathology regulated ... -
Investigation of multi-objective optimization criteria for RNA design
(IEEE, 2017-12)RNA design is the inverse of RNA folding and it appears to be NP-hard. In RNA design, a secondary structure is given and the goal is to find a nucleotide sequence that will fold into this structure. To find such sequence(s) ... -
Oligonucleotide-based label-free detection with optical microresonators: strategies and challenges
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)This review targets diversified oligonucleotide-based biodetection techniques, focusing on the use of microresonators of whispering gallery mode (WGM) type as optical biosensors mostly integrated with lab-on-a-chip systems. ... -
Production and structural characterization of biosurfactant produced by newly isolated staphylococcus xylosus STF1 from petroleum contaminated soil
(Elsevier BV, 2015)Petroleum-contaminated soil was used to isolate and characterize biosurfactant producing bacteria. The strain could produce higher amount of biosurfactant in medium supplemented with motor oil as sole source of carbon and ... -
Prostate stem cell antigen is an endogenous lynx1-like prototoxin that antagonizes α7-containing nicotinic receptors and prevents programmed cell death of parasympathetic neurons
(2009)Vertebrate α-bungarotoxin-like molecules of the Ly-6 superfamily have been implicated as balancers of activity and survival in the adult nervous system. To determine whether a member of this family could be involved in the ... -
Reprogramming of replicative senescence in hepatocellular carcinoma-derived cells
(National Academy of Sciences, 2006)Tumor cells have the capacity to proliferate indefinitely that is qualified as replicative immortality. This ability contrasts with the intrinsic control of the number of cell divisions in human somatic tissues by a mechanism ... -
SIMARD: a simulated annealing based RNA design algorithm with quality pre-selection strategies
(IEEE, 2017-12)Most of the biological processes including expression levels of genes and translation of DNA to produce proteins within cells depend on RNA sequences, and the structure of the RNA plays vital role for its function. RNA ...
