Adenosine A2A receptors intrinsically regulate CD8+ T cells in the tumor microenvironment
(American Association for Cancer Research Inc., 2014)Adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) blockade enhances innate and adaptive immune responses. However, mouse genetic studies have shown that A2AR deletion does not inhibit the growth of all tumor types. In the current study, we ... -
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 ... -
Application of a customized pathway-focused microarray for gene expression profiling of cellular homeostasis upon exposure to nicotine in PC12 cells
(2004)Maintenance of cellular homeostasis is integral to appropriate regulation of cellular signaling and cell growth and division. In this study, we report the development and quality assessment of a pathway-focused microarray ... -
Behavioural analyses of quinine processing in choice, feeding and learning of larval drosophila
(2012)Gustatory stimuli can support both immediate reflexive behaviour, such as choice and feeding, and can drive internal reinforcement in associative learning. For larval Drosophila, we here provide a first systematic behavioural ... -
The bonobo genome compared with the chimpanzee and human genomes
(2012)Two African apes are the closest living relatives of humans: the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and the bonobo (Pan paniscus). Although they are similar in many respects, bonobos and chimpanzees differ strikingly in key ... -
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 ... -
Chitosan scaffolds with BMP-6 loaded alginate microspheres for periodontal tissue engineering
(2012)The aim of this study is to develop an effective growth factor releasing scaffold-microsphere system for promoting periodontal tissue engineering. Bone morphogenetic protein-6 (BMP-6)-loaded alginate microspheres in narrow ... -
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 ... -
Compound Hertzian chain model for copper-carbon nanocomposites' absorption spectrum
(2011)The infrared range optical absorption mechanism of carbon-copper composite thin layer coated on the diamond-like carbon buffer layer has been investigated. By consideration of weak interactions between copper nanoparticles ... -
Copy number variation of individual cattle genomes using next-generation sequencing
(2012)Copy number variations (CNVs) affect a wide range of phenotypic traits; however, CNVs in or near segmental duplication regions are often intractable. Using a read depth approach based on next-generation sequencing, we ... -
Development of a thulium (Tm:YAP) laser system for brain tissue ablation
(2011)In this study, a thulium (Tm:YAP) laser system was developed for brain surgery applications. As the Tm:YAP laser is a continuous-wave laser delivered via silica fibers, it would have great potential for stereotaxic ... -
Differential effects of nitrogen and sulfur deprivation on growth and biodiesel feedstock production of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
(2012)Biodiesel production from microalgae is a promising approach for energy production; however, high cost of its process limits the use of microalgal biodiesel. Increasing the levels of triacylglycerol (TAG) levels, which is ... -
Effect of double growth factor release on cartilage tissue engineering
(2013)The effects of double release of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) from nanoparticles on the growth of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and their differentiation into cartilage cells were ... -
Herpes simplex virus 1 amplicon vector-mediated siRNA targeting epidermal growth factor receptor inhibits growth of human glioma cells in vivo
(2005)In primary glioblastomas and other tumor types, the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is frequently observed with alterations, such as amplification, structural rearrangements, or overexpression of the gene, suggesting ... -
Identification of novel neutralizing single-chain antibodies against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2
(2011)Human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor (VEGFR-2/kinase domain receptor [KDR]) play a crucial role in angiogenesis, which makes the VEGFR-2 signaling pathway a major target for therapeutic applications. ... -
In vitro biocompatibility of plasma-aided surface-modified 316L stainless steel for intracoronary stents
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2010)316L-type stainless steel is a raw material mostly used for manufacturing metallic coronary stents. The purpose of this study was to examine the chemical, wettability, cytotoxic and haemocompatibility properties of 316L ... -
Induction of potent protection against acute and latent herpes simplex virus infection in mice vaccinated with dendritic cells
(2013)Background aims. Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen presenting cells of the immune system and have been under intense study with regard to their use in immunotherapy against cancer and infectious disease ... -
MAb 6D5 against proteins overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines
(2007)[No abstract available] -
MST1 is a multifunctional caspase-independent inhibitor of androgenic signaling
(2011)The MST1 serine - threonine kinase, a component of the RASSF1-LATS tumor suppressor network, is involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis and has been implicated in cancer. However, the physiologic role of MST1 in ... -
Myeloid expression of adenosine a2A receptor suppresses T and NK cell responses in the solid tumor microenvironment
(American Association for Cancer Research Inc., 2014)High concentrations of adenosine in tumor microenvironments inhibit antitumor cytotoxic lymphocyte responses. Although T cells express inhibitory adenosine A2A receptors (A2AR) that suppress their activation and inhibit ...
