Innate immune reactions are believed to be associated with ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), and IRI might be treatable by expanding regulatory T cells (Tregs), which can suppress the excessive responses of the immune system. Organ IRI is known to be closely involved in the expression of costimulatory molecules. The present study aimed to assess…[Read more]

The antiquity of the wolf/dog domestication has been recently pushed back in time from the Late Upper Paleolithic (~14,000 years ago) to the Early Upper Paleolithic (EUP; ~36,000 years ago). Some authors questioned this early dog domestication claiming that the putative (EUP) Paleolithic dogs fall within the morphological range of recent wol…[Read more]

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare hematologic disease characterized by a deregulated complement system, chronic Coombs-negative, intravascular hemolysis, and a variable clinical course with substantial risk to develop thromboembolic events. We analyzed diagnostic and prognostic parameters as well as clinical endpoints in 59 adult…[Read more]

Presently, the principal tools to combat malaria are restricted to killing the parasite in infected people and killing the mosquito vector to thwart transmission. While successful, these approaches are losing effectiveness in view of parasite resistance to drugs and mosquito resistance to insecticides. Clearly, new approaches to fight this deadly…[Read more]

Any effort to increase public awareness and comprehension of SARS-Cov-2 in Bangladesh will then offer preference to males, who did not practice self-quarantine and are less worried about the propagation of this kind of virus.Psm ES4326/AvrRpt2 (AvrRpt2) was widely used as the reaction system of hypersensitive response (HR) in Arabidopsis. The…[Read more]

Compromised autophagy and mitochondrial dysfunction downregulate chondrocytic activity, accelerating the development of osteoarthritis (OA). Irisin, a cleaved form of fibronectin type III domain containing 5 (FNDC5), regulates bone turnover and muscle homeostasis. Little is known about the effect of Irisin on chondrocytes and the development of…[Read more]

Language disorders may affect receptive and/or expressive language skills. The use of a validated and reliable assessment tool is essential to assess these skills in children. The present study aimed to develop a valid and reliable language development instrument for Persian-speaking children aged 2-6 years.

The present cross-sectional…[Read more]

Controlling mechanical deformation is one of the state-of-the-art approaches to tune the electronic properties of 2D materials. We report a new mechanism for tuning a phosphorene superlattice with intercalated amphiphiles by its strong anisotropic co-deformation. Anisotropic co-deformation of a phosphorene superlattice is found to follow tunable…[Read more]

des new insights on pathogenicity that may reflect the host adaptation of the two species.Bordetella pertussis, the aetiological agent of whooping cough, is re-emerging globally despite widespread vaccination. B. pertussis is highly infectious and, prior to vaccination programmes, was the leading cause of infant mortality. The WHO estimated that…[Read more]

The complete genome sequence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) isolate Siena-1/2020 was obtained by Nanopore sequencing, combining the direct RNA sequencing and amplicon sequencing approaches. The isolate belongs to the B1.1 lineage, which is prevalent in Europe, and contains a mutation in the spike protein coding…[Read more]
