ROS-NF kappa I' mediates TGF-beta 1-induced expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator, matrix metalloproteinase-9 and cell invasion
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2010)
TGF-beta 1 has been postulated as a pro-oncogenic factor in the late step of the tumoral progression. In transformed cells, TGF-beta 1 enhances the capacity to degrade the extracellular matrix, cell invasiveness and ...
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 ...
Modulation of platelet function with dietary polyphenols A promising strategy in the prevention of cardiovascular disease
(Teknoscienze Publ, Milano, 2015)
Beyond being central players in haemostasis and thrombosis, platelets have crucial roles in the development of atherosclerosis, mediated through their interactions with monocytes and endothelial cells. Disturbed platelet ...
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 ...
Transcriptional profiling of erythroid progenitors from G-CSF mobilized and nonmobilized peripheral blood
(Balkan Union of Oncology (B.U.ON.), 2014)
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the gene expression profile of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)-mobilized peripheral blood (mPB)-derived progenitors, used in transplantation. Methods: We ...
Composition and Potential Health Benefits of Pomegranate: A Review

Background: Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) fruits are widely consumed and used as preventive and therapeutic agents since ancient times. Pomegranate is a rich source of a variety of phytochemicals, which are responsible ...
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 ...
Vitamin D Is Inversely Related to Obesity: Cross-Sectional Study in a Small Cohort of Serbian Adults
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2019)
Objective: Vitamin D (vitD) mediates numerous health conditions other than bone health and mineralization. Its role in cardiometabolic condition is still inconclusive. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in 87 ...
Improvement of language functions in a chronic non-fluent post-stroke aphasic patient following bilateral sequential theta burst magnetic stimulation
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2015)
In chronic non-fluent aphasia patients, inhibition of the intact right hemisphere (RH), by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or similar methods, can induce improvement in language functions. The supposed mechanism ...
