Buccal epithelium (BE) is an easily accessible target for molecular diagnosis of various diseases, and non-invasive way to get it is possible. This review summarizes the results of studies indicating a change in the expression of various signaling molecules an…
An approach to the development of methodology for health risk assessment (HRA) for the effects of new environmental factors: nanoparticles and nanobiomaterials (NP/NBM) – products of modern nano-, nanobiotechnology has been proposed. The experience from develo…
In recent years, scientists from different countries are actively discussing the concept of translational medicine and consider it as important area of molecular medicine development. Translational medicine promotes the transfer of discoveries made in basic bi…
Introduction. The COMT gene encodes for a protein involved in deactivation of genotoxic estrogen species, and the protein product encoded by the L (low activity) allele is 3–5-fold less active than its counterpart encoded by the H (high activity) allele. The a…
Introduction. In spite of active research, no highly specific and sensitive marker of skin melanoma has been found so far. The aim of the study. Studying the level of stem cell factor (SCF), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), sCD44std, and heat shock proteins Hsp2…
Introduction. The features of pathogenesis of main tumors of the female reproductive system are determined by the impact of estrogen on target tissues. In this connection there appears the need to study the regulation of estrogen and progesterone receptors in …
Introduction. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetically heterogeneous disease caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins of the cardiac sarcomere. Mutations in the genes encoding β-myosin heavy chain (MYH7) and myosin binding protein C (MYB…
Introduction. Rett syndrome (RTT) is the most common genetic syndrome underlying mental retardation and autism in girls. Etiology of this disorder is related to mutation in the MECP2 gene. However, there are many cases of this disease without the MECP2 mutatio…
Introduction. Interactions of exposed on the tumor cell surface or circulating in the bloodstream molecules MICA with activating receptor NKG2D play an important role in the regulation of antitumor immune response. Accumulation of soluble MICA compromises NKG2…
Introduction. One of the main types of a hormonal therapy in the treatment of the cancer of the prostate gland is the antagonists of the NR3C4 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 4) receptor. It blocks binding of man’s hormones with receptors site, …
Targeted delivery of anticancer drugs is a new direction aimed to delivery preparations capable of enhancing selectivity of action of drugs owing to the use of vector molecules. Targeted drug delivery system is the construction that includes three components: …
In the literature review there are presented the modern views on the concept of the pathogenesis of Crohn’s disease (CD). There has been analyzed the role of defects in innate immunity in CD associated with mutations in genes NOD2/CARD15, ATG16L1, IRGM which r…
