Feasibility and acceptability of undertaking postmortem studies for tuberculosis medical research in a low income country

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionIf we are to break new ground in difficult-to-treat or difficult-to-vaccinate diseases (such as HIV, malaria, or tuberculosis), we must have a better understanding of the immune system at the site of infection in humans. For tuberculosis (TB),

Transcriptome Analyses of Tumor-Adjacent Somatic Tissues Reveal Genes Co-Expressed with Transposable Elements [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Despite the long-held assumption that transposons are normally only expressed in the germ-line, recent evidence shows that transcripts of transposable element (TE) sequences are frequently found in the somatic cells.

Involvement of platelet-tumor cell interaction in immune evasion. Potential role of podocalyxin-like protein 1

Frontiers in Oncology, 2014
Besides their essential role in hemostasis and thrombosis, platelets are involved in the onset of cancer metastasis by interacting with tumor cells. Platelets release secretory factors that promote tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Furthermore,

Digital PCR (dPCR) Quantification of miR-155-5p as a Potential Candidate for a Tissue Biomarker of Inflammation in Rabbits Infected with Lagovirus europaeus/Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV)

Viruses, 2023
MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are a group of small, 17–25 nucleotide, non-coding RNA sequences that, in their mature form, regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.

The Extracellular Matrix: Its Composition, Function, Remodeling, and Role in Tumorigenesis

Biomimetics, 2023
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a ubiquitous member of the body and is key to the maintenance of tissue and organ integrity. Initially thought to be a bystander in many cellular processes, the extracellular matrix has been shown to have diverse ...
