Introduction.The rs8175347 ((TA)5/6/7/8) in the UGT1A1 gene polymorphism is associated with the expression of UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 enzyme. The low enzyme activity in patients with (TA)7 and (TA)8 alleles is associated with the risk of Gilbert syndro…
The content of VEGF and some components of plasminogen activation system (uPA, PAI-1 and tPA) was determined by enzyme immunoassay methods in the tumors from 121 endometrial cancer patients and in 18 samples of endometrial hyperplasia. Concentrations of uPA an…
«Nothing in biomedicine makes sense except in the light of evolution». From this point of view, genetics of predispositions hasto answer two basic questions: 1. Is the natural genetic polymorphism identified with modern genomics proved to be the result of neut…
Poor reproducibility and low predictive values of the results in the genetics of predispositions become a systemic problem. Results of the statistical quality control of genetic tests in the study should be supported with not only integral indices such as odds…
Genomic and molecular genetic studies of autism can identify new biological markers to determine the etiology and the molecular and cellular mechanisms of the pathogenesis of this disease. In addition to the fundamental importance of this research the laborato…
Introduction. According to the current understanding, oxidative stress plays a key role in the mechanisms of diabetes mellitus of types 1 and 2 emergence and development of its complications; formation of oxidative stress is accompanied by defective uptake of …
Introduction. The paper presents basic information about the modern role of the IMF in various biochemical processes. Emphasis is placed on the role of MMPs in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. These published data suggest ambiguity of scientific views on the…
Introduction. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) – a family of extracellular zinc-containing proteases. There are currently 25 known MMP. Increased activity of MMP observed in some physiological processes – during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle and du…
Introduction. Сhronic sialadenitis is an inflammatory salivary gland disease with unclear etiology and not fully understood pathogenesis. A special attention of researchers is paid to the study of various molecular markers secreted in the course of chronic inf…
Implantation is the key process for becoming pregnant. Failure of implantation in IVF cycles is one of the main problems of modern reproductology. Search for biomarkers and the determination of the best time and maximal endometrial receptivity for the implemen…
IL15 proves to be a cytokine that important for innate as well as for adaptive immunity. It is one of the key factors of cell-mediated antiviral response. In this review we touch upon its primary, secondary and tertiary structure and functions, characteristics…
Argirophilic proteins of nucleolar organizer regions (Ag-NOR) pose a wide group of nucleolar proteins specifically stained by AgNO3. Expression level of Ag-NOR proteins in proliferating cells, including tumor ones, is commonly high. Nucleophosmin/B23 and nucle…
