CORRELATION BETWEEN PROMOTER HYPERMETHYLATION AND EXPRESSION PROFILES OF P15INK4B AND P16INK4A GENES ON DEVELOPMENT OF PTERYGIUM DISEASE

Correlation between Promoter Hypermethylation and Expression Profiles of P15INK4b and P16INK4a Genes on Development of Pterygium Disease

Background: It is not thoroughly clear that what is the exact etiology of pterygium.Recently, it has been illustrated that pterygium is a benign and destructive condition.The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between promoter hypermethylation of P15INK4band P16INK4a genes on progress of pterygium.Materials and methods: We extracted D

Global Lipidome Profiling Revealed Multifaceted Role of Lipid Species in Hepatitis C Virus Replication, Assembly, and Host Antiviral Response

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major human pathogen that requires a better understanding of its interaction with host cells.There is a close association of HCV life cycle with host lipid metabolism.Lipid droplets (LDs) have been found to be crucial organelles that support HCV replication and virion assembly.In addition to their role in replication, L

The rhizome of Reclinomonas americana, Homo sapiens, Pediculus humanus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondria

Abstract Background Mitochondria are Decorative Pillow thought to have evolved from eubacteria-like endosymbionts; however, the origin of the mitochondrion remains a subject of debate.In this study, we investigated the phenomenon of chimerism in mitochondria to shed light on the origin of these organelles by determining which species played a role
