Regulation of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Differentiation by Transforming Growth Factor Beta Superfamily
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2018)
The ability to differentiate into cells of different lineage, such as muscle, bone, cartilage and fat, is the chief value of adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) which can be used with the final aim to regenerate damaged ...
Specific Binding of Paraprotein to Platelet Receptors as a Cause of Platelet Dysfunction in Monoclonal Gammopathies
(Karger, Basel, 2013)
The study included 48 untreated patients with monoclonal gammopathies (MG). Paraprotein was isolated from the serum of 10 patients with decreased platelet aggregation. Platelet aggregation was measured before and after the ...
Transforming Growth Factor-Beta and Urokinase Type Plasminoge Interplay in Cancer
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2018)
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is well recognized as playing a double role in tumor progression. Its antitumor role takes place in the early stages of cancer development, when TGF-beta acts as a repressor of ...
Acquired von Willebrand syndrome in monoclonal gammopathies
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc, Malden, 2010)
Novel Selenosemicarbazone Metal Complexes Exert Anti-tumor Effect via Alternative, Caspase-independent Necroptotic Cell Death
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2014)
The synthesis and chemical characterization of the novel 2,6-diacetylpyridine-bis(selenosemicarbazone) metal complexes of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) were published previously. Here we report first evidence on anti-proliferative ...
Utilization of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool in the preoperative assessment of patients with adnexal masses
(Balkan Union of Oncology (B.U.ON.), 2015)
Purpose: To evaluate the reliability of ultrasound scan (US) findings in the preoperative assessment of the nature of adnexal masses in females. Methods: After detailed history, a preoperative US examination was performed ...
Different fatty acid composition of serum phospholipids of small and appropriate for gestational age preterm infants and of milk from their mothers
(Lithographia, Thessaloniki, 2012)
Background: Placental supply of fatty acids (FA) is essential for normal foetal development but in premature infants this supply is interrupted. To investigate the association of intrautrine growth restriction with serum ...
Prevention of systemic and regional haemodynamic alterations, hypercreatininemia, hyperuremia and hyperphosphatemia by losartan in hypertension with acute renal failure
(Akademiai Kiado Zrt, Budapest, 2011)
Patients with pre-existing hypertension are at a particular risk of fatal outcome due to acute renal failure (ARF). We investigate the effects of angiotensin II type-1 receptor blocker (ARB) losartan, on haemodynamics and ...
Urokinase Type Plasminogen Activator and the Molecular Mechanisms of its Regulation in Cancer
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2017)
Background: Urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA) is a 53-kDa serine protease initially synthesized as a catalytically inactive single chain polypeptide. Inactive-uPA is subject to proteolytic cleavage, which results ...
Factorial validity of extended sport competitive anxiety test evaluated with young athletes
(Stellenbosch Univ, Matieland, 2019)
The Sport Competitive Anxiety Test (SCAT) has been applied most widely to estimate anxiety in sport. Although the SCAT has been modified to make the instrument more appropriate for the assessment of the multidimensional ...
