Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in Hematologic Diseases: Promising Biomarkers and Treatment Targets
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, 2019)
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are a heterogeneous group of immature myeloid cells that exist at very low numbers in healthy subjects but can expand significantly in malignant, infectious, and chronic inflammatory ...

Aim: To provide the first data on the prevalence and basic demographic risk factors for human Toxoplasma gondii infection in the Banja Luka region, Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). Methods: Analysis of serological and ...
Novel Patents and Cancer Therapies for Transforming Growth Factor-Beta and Urokinase Type Plasminogen Activator: Potential Use of Their Interplay in Tumorigenesis
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2014)
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) plays different roles in health and disease. TGF-beta has been assumed as a dual factor in tumor growth, since it can repress epithelial tumor development in early stages, while ...
Abnormalities in the serum phospholipids fatty acid profile in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis - a pilot study
(Journal Clinical Biochemistry & Nutrition, Kyoto, 2013)
The fatty acid composition of serum phospholipids were analyzed in 20 patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis (11 with malnutrition and 9 with acceptable nutritional status); 25 healthy age and sex-matched adults were used ...
Fatty acids binding to human serum albumin: Changes of reactivity and glycation level of Cysteine-34 free thiol group with methylglyoxal
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2014)
Fatty acids (FAs) binding to human serum albumin (HSA) could lead to the changes of Cys-34 thiol group accessibility and reactivity, i.e. its scavenger capacity and antioxidant property. The influence of saturated, mono ...
Improving nutrition surveillance and public health research in Central and Eastern Europe/Balkan Countries using the Balkan Food Platform and dietary tools
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
The objective of this paper is to share experience and provide updated information on Capacity Development in the Central and Eastern Europe/Balkan Countries (CEE/BC) region relevant to public health nutrition, particularly ...
Transforming growth factor-beta differently regulates urokinase type plasminogen activator and matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression in mouse macrophages; analysis of intracellular signal transduction
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2015)
Transforming growth factor (TGF-) modulates capacity of macrophages to produce urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9). uPA and MMP9 actively participate in extracellular matrix ...
Comparative studies on osmosis based encapsulation of sodium diclofenac in porcine and outdated human erythrocyte ghosts
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2016)

Spred2 inhibits TGF-beta 1-induced urokinase type plasminogen activator expression, cell motility and epithelial mesenchymal transition
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2010)
TGF-beta 1 is a potent inductor of malignance in cancer cells. TGF-beta 1 stimulates the expression of extracellular matrix degrading proteases, cell migration and it is also involved in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition ...
