Patients treated with low-dose anthracyclines often show late onset cardiotoxicity.Recent studies suggest that this form of cardiotoxicity is the result of a progenitor cell disease.In this study we demonstrate that Cord Blood Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs) exposed to low, sub-apoptotic doses of doxorubicin show a senescence phenotype characte
Nocardia pneumonia is rare in immunocompetent hosts.Here, we present a case of a woman who presented to us with a chronic cough, fever, and weight loss of 2 months duration.Chest X-ray showed Dog Collar Battery nonhomogenous opacity.CT thorax showed a mass-like lesion in the right upper lobe.A bronchoscopy was done, and washings taken from the affe
Background.Dyes are one of the most hazardous materials in industrial effluents which can cause several health problems in living organisms.The removal of dye from colored effluents has attracted increasing attention in the last Vitamin E decade.In this study, raw, beneficiated, and activated waste ash were evaluated as adsorbents for removal of me
In the present work we extend and analyze the scope of our recently proposed stochastic model for transcriptional regulation, which considers an arbitrarily complex cis-regulatory system using only elementary Apple Corer reactions.Previously, we determined the role of cooperativity on the intrinsic fluctuations of gene expression for activating tra
