AbstractBackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a novel class of single-stranded
RNA molecules of 18–22 nucleotides that serve as powerful tools in the
regulation of gene expression. They are important regulatory molecules in
several biological processes.Main bodyAlteration in the expression profiles of
miRNAs have been found in several diseases. It is anticipated that miRNA
expression profiling ca... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract Purpose To determine the relationship between the genotypes of the TaqI
polymorphism of VDR gene and the clinical forms of COVID-19 in Cuban patients.
Methods TaqI polymorphism was determined by the PCR in 104 Cuban patients, who
suffered different clinical forms of COVID-19. Results There was a greater
possibility of presenting symptomatic forms [OR = 2.081, 95% CI: 0.243–17.842],
even s... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract Background V600E-BRAF is a major protein target involved in various
types of human cancers. However, the acquired resistance of the V600E-BRAF
kinase to the vemurafenib and the side effects of other identified drugs
initiate the search for efficient inhibitors. In the current paper, virtual
docking screening combined with drug likeness and ADMET properties predictions
were jointly applied... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract Background Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the most common autosomal
recessive disorder in humans after cystic fibrosis. It is classified into five
clinical grades based on age of onset and severity of the disease. Although SMN1
was identified as the SMA disease-determining gene, modifier genes mapped to
5q13 were affirmed to play a crucial role in determination of disease severity
and u... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractBackgroundHeat shock proteins (Hsps) are widely reported in normal
cellular dynamics under stress and non-stress conditions, and parallelly, the
studies regarding its role in disease condition are also progressing steadily.
The function of Hsps in neurodegenerative disorders is puzzling and not fully
understood. This review aims to focus on the role of Hsp27 in normal and
diseased conditio... hiện toàn bộ
Abstract Background Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones in which the density
of the bones decreases. The prevalence of this disease greatly varies in
different populations of the world. Numerous studies have been investigated VDR
gene polymorphisms as osteoporosis risk in different ethnic groups. In present
meta-analysis, the aim is to find out the role of VDR gene polymorphisms (FokI,
BsmI, Ap... hiện toàn bộ
Abstract Background COVID-19 is a respiratory disease caused by a novel
coronavirus called as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2). Detected for the first time in December 2019 in Wuhan and it has
quickly spread all over the world in a couple of months and becoming a world
pandemic. Symptoms of the disease and clinical outcomes are very different in
infected people. These d... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractBackgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) can lead to microvascular and
macrovascular damages through hyperglycemia that is the main cause of diabetic
complications. Other factors such as hypertension, obesity, and hyperlipidemia
may worsen or accelerate the others. Several studies have revealed definitive
genetic predispositions to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)
and development... hiện toàn bộ
Abstract Background Non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases,
respiratory diseases and diabetes contribute to the majority of deaths in India.
Public health programmes on non-communicable diseases (NCD) prevention primarily
target the behavioural risk factors of the population. Hereditary is known as a
risk factor for most NCDs, specifically, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and

Tóm tắt Đặt vấn đề Sự phát hiện các chất ức chế thụ thể yếu tố tăng trưởng biểu
bì (EGFR) trong điều trị ung thư phổi, đặc biệt là ung thư phổi không tế bào nhỏ
(NSCLC), đã trở thành một trong những thách thức lớn đối với các nhà hóa học
dược phẩm trên thế giới. Việc điều trị bằng EGFR tyrosine kinase để quản lý
NSCLC trở thành một nhu cầu điều trị cấp bách. NSCLC là nguyên nhân chính gây tử
