Osteopontin (OPN) is a highly phosphorylated multifunctional glycosphoprotein with important functional activity in cancer and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus (DM), kidney and liver pathology, inflammatory process, and also influencing cell viabilit…
The neurotrophic hypothesis of depressive disorders has gained widespread recognition nowadays. This review is devoted to the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) system in the pathogenesis of depression and major depressive disorder. We describe the struc…
Introduction. Aging is associated with a decrease in the neuro- and synaptogenesis as well as hyperactivation of glial cells, which leads to changes in the morphofunctional state of the nervous tissue of the hippocampus and, as a consequence, a deterioration i…
Introduction. The oral cavity is the beginning of the human digestive system and the presence of pathological changes in it: a shift in the dynamic balance, composition, and types of microorganisms inhabiting the oral cavity; color change; the appearance of pa…
Introduction: nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease worldwide. But it remains unclear what factors influence the progression of the disease. It is interesting to study the influence of the genetic aspect on the course of NAF…
