Human estrogen receptor-alpha messenger RNA (hER alpha mRNA) has a relatively short half-life, which was determined to be approximately 5 h in MCF-7 cell line after actinomycin D treatment. The 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) ...

The aim of this study was to determine the fate of foreign DNA molecules bound to porcine sperm that had been capacitated and acrosome reacted in vitro using calcium ionophore and then used in the in vitro fertilization ...

Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast is a rare tumour with less than 30 cases reported in the literature. The clinicopathological findings of three cases of primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast and ...

Background: Here we present a novel promising microbial diagnostic method that combines the sensitivity of Nucleic Acid Sequence Based Amplification (NASBA) with the high information content of microarray technology for ...

The multifunctional Eya1 protein plays important roles during the development of cranial sensory organs and ganglia, kidneys, hypaxial muscles and several other organs in vertebrates. Eya1 is encoded by a complex locus ...

Background: The neural plate border ectoderm gives rise to key developmental structures during embryogenesis, including the neural crest and the preplacodal ectoderm. Many sensory organs and ganglia of vertebrates develop ...

Background: Bcl-2 is a major regulator of neural plasticity and cellular resilience. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the Bcl-2 gene, Bcl-2 rs956572, significantly modulates the expression of Bcl-2 protein and ...

Increased Wnt5a expression has been observed in psoriatic plaques. However, whether Wnt5a overexpression directly causes psoriasis is unknown. In this study, we generated transgenic (TG) mice with epidermal Wnt5a overexpression ...
