The ability of epithelial cells to organize through cell–cell adhesion into a functioning
epithelium serves the purpose of a tight epithelial protective barrier. Contacts between adjacent …

Abnormally activated RAS proteins are the main oncogenic driver that governs the
functioning of major signaling pathways involved in the initiation and development of human …

Claudins, a group of membrane proteins involved in the formation of tight junctions, are
mainly found in endothelial or epithelial cells. These proteins have attracted much attention in …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of chronic cadmium exposure in modulating
cardiac matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the heart of rats. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats …

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal that is widespread in the environment due to the substantial
anthropogenic inputs from the agriculture and industrial sectors. The toxic impact of Cd …

We have investigated the prevalence of mutations in the connexin 26 (GJB2) gene in Omani
population using both PCR‐RFLP and direct DNA sequencing methods. Two common …

The I-κB kinase (IKK) subunit NEMO/IKKγ (NEMO) is an adapter molecule that is critical for
canonical activation of NF-κB, a pleiotropic transcription factor controlling immunity, …

Gene expression profiling may improve the understanding of the biology behind relapse in
pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH), …

Two recurrent missense mutations (c.20C>T: A7V; c.26C>T: A9V) in the gene encoding the
myofibrillogenesis regulator 1 (MR-1) have been shown to cause autosomal dominant …

Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) is an autosomal recessive immune
disorder, characterized by fever, hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia, hypertriglyceridemia, …
