The complement system is a set of immune proteins involved in first-line defense against pathogens and removal of waste materials. Recent evidence has implicated the complement cascade in diseases involving the central nervous system, including schizophrenia. Here, we provide an up-to-date narrative ...
1996). As a result of comprehensive studies it can be stated that in adults TF is a tumor marker of exceptional specificity. Among normal tissues, TF is expressed on activated T cells (Hernandez et al. 2007). TF does not exist as a separate entity, but as part of a larger carbohydrate...
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have been demonstrated to be beneficial in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases. Such results were mainly associated with the epigenetic modulation caused by HDACs, especially those from class I, via chromatin
In recent years, the diagnosis of Down syndrome has become widespread and recommended in the fetal DNA in a mother’s blood analysis. However, the evaluation of DS with first-trimester screening is still widely used both in the world and our country because of its very expensive and performed...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent to date the leading cause of mortality in both genders in the developed countries. In this context, a strong need for CVD prevention is emerging through lifestyle modification and nutrition. In fact, several studies linked CVD with unhealthy nutrition, alcohol...
Bed nets are the commonest malaria prevention tool and arguably the most cost-effective. Their efficacy is because they prevent mosquito bites (a function of physical durability and integrity), and kill mosquitoes (a function of chemical content and mosq
It is based on the same ideas like HSP, but differs from its predecessor in a number of details. FF outperforms HSP in many planning domains. We have carried out a large scale experiment where we ran all configurations of FF's new techniques on a sizeable set of planning tasks. We ...
pallida. In spite of the prolific research done on Echinacea spp., there is still uncertainty as to which constituents primarily contribute to the immunomodulatory action of Echinacea species, although many believe it to be the alkylamides.9 Importantly, despite the recent focus on the alkylamides...
