MicroDNAs and Transcriptional Regulation
Synthetic "microDNAs (MIDs)"is a new class of ~ 20-25 nucleotide-long DNAs capable of repressing the activity of the target gene at the level of transcription by mechanisms that have not …

Far-infrared rays control prostate cancer cells in vitro and in vivo
We introduce a new effective method to control hormone refractory prostate cancer cells by using an activated rubber/resin form (RB), far-infrared ray emitter, with or without sodium butyrate (SB)....

Optimal control circuitry design for the digital p53 dynamics in cancer cell and apoptosis
Experimental work and theoretical models deduce a “digital” response of the p53 transcription factor when genomic integrity is damaged. The mutual influence of p53 and its antagonist, the Mdm2 onco…

Down-regulation of Survivin enhances sensitivity to BPR0L075 in human cancer cells via caspase-independent mechanisms
Background: BPR0L075 [6-methoxy-3-(3’,4’,5’-trimethoxy-benzoyl)-1H-indole] is a novel anti-cancer compound. It inhibits tubulin polymerization and induces mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis in vario…

Genome-wide transcription analysis of interaction between the human macrophage and Mycobacterium tuberculosis during concurrent drug administration by conventional and novel methods
Targeted drug delivery to alveolar macrophages harboring Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) holds promise of high efficacy against pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). It was investigated whether inhalable m…

Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (tgf-β1) induces angiogenesis through vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf)-mediated apoptosis
VEGF and TGF-β1 induce angiogenesis but have opposing effects on endothelial cells. VEGF protects endothelial cells from apoptosis; TGF-β1 induces apoptosis. We have previously shown that…

Reversal of an immunity associated plant cell death program by the growth regulator auxin
One form of plant immunity against pathogens involves a rapid host programmed cell death at the site of infection accompanied by resistance, termed the hypersensitive response (HR). Here it is show…

Tumor necrosis factor and caspase in response to soluble or microparticle-incorporated drugs in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
We compared the effects of microparticles (MP) containig anti-tubercular drugs and those of the drugs themselves on the host macrophage (MΦ) response to infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis H3…
