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 ...
BRCA1 and TOP2A gene amplification and protein expression in four molecular subtypes of breast cancer
(Srpsko biološko društvo, Beograd, i dr., 2013)
We studied TOP2A amplification (using FISH methods), and TOP2A and BRCA1 protein overexpression (immunohistochemistry) in four molecular subtypes of breast cancer. Of 53 patients, 32 showed TOP2A and 38 showed BRCA1 ...
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 ...
Vitamin D and cardio-metabolic biomarkers: small-scale comparative study between Libyan migrants and resident women in Serbia
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2019)
Libyan women are at high risk of vitamin D deficiency, mostly due to their lifestyle and low exposure to sun. In the last decades, Libyan residents have been forced to seek refuge in countries such as Serbia, a country ...

(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2019)
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 ...
Phenotypic Detection of Beta-Lactamases Production in Enterobacteriaceae
(Srpsko lekarsko društvo, Beograd, 2014)
Introduction Beta-lactam antibiotics are the most commonly used antibacterial drugs. However, many bacteria have developed resistance to these antibiotics, and the most common form of resistance. is the production of ...
Metallic ion release from biocompatible cobalt-based alloy
(Savez hemijskih inženjera, Beograd, 2014)
Metallic biomaterials, which are mainly used for the damaged hard tissue replacements, are materials with high strength, excellent toughness and good wear resistance. The disadvantages of metals as implant materials are ...
