Introduction. Small cell lung cancer (SCLS) is a highly aggressive type of tumor, and various compounds are considered as potential biochemical markers of its prognosis, including neuron-specific enolase (NSE), chromogranin A (CgA), and prograstrin releasing p…
Background. Protein 4-1BB (CD137) enhances the activity of T-cells, prevents their death, and promotes the production of cytokines, which makes it a powerful co-stimulating agent. Currently, the use of this glycoprotein is being studied in order to influence t…
Introduction. The study of intermoleculars interactions can contribute to the development of ideas about the violation of the endothelium,s adhesive function as one of the pathogenetic links in the development of peripheral artery diseases of atherosclerotic e…
The main reason for the severity of COVID-19 and the death of patients is the «cytokine storm» – a strong inflammatory response caused by SARS-CoV-2. Macrophages, immune cells that help eliminate pathogens and repair damaged tissues, play a key role in the exp…
Introduction. Buccal epithelium (BE), in which cells the expression of signal molecules reflecting the state of homeostasis of the body in normal and pathological conditions is verified, is used as a diagnostic material for a number of diseases in adults. The …
Among a very significant number of possible variants of posttranslational modifications (PTM) affecting the contractile function of the myocardium, the most significant effect is exerted by posttranslational phosphorylation of protein components of the contrac…
Introduction. For the first time in clinical practice, diagnosis of different stages of lipidemia is conducted according to the level of blood lipids, lipoproteinsand catalase activity. This diagnostic approach can detect early stage of lipidemia against the p…
Iron is an essential trace element not only for the human body, but also for some microorganisms, including mycobacterium tuberculosis. Being strict aerobes, mycobacteria receive iron from the human body using the siderophore transporter system. Iron deficienc…
Introduction. The quantitative determination and isotyping of autoantibodies to a clinically significant protein – glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in blood serum samples is relevant for monitoring and predicting the dynamics of autoimmune processes. The aim of…
Introduction. The search of molecular markers for early diagnostics, prognosis, and identification of new objects for molecular-targeted therapy of primary bone tumors remains one of the most important tasks despite the significant achievements in the treatmen…
Introduction. The incidence of infectious and inflammatory diseases, including sepsis, increases with the age, which is explained by the age-related decrease in the content of sex steroids. However, the features of the course of systemic inflammatory responses…
Introduction. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling system plays a major role in development and progression of various malignant tumors including colorectal cancer (CRC), so far its components are considered as potential diagnostic and prognostic markers…
Exosomes are microscopic extracellular vesicles with diametr 30–100 nm, which are secreted by different types of cells and may be detected in normal (blood serum, saliva, urine, breast milk) and pathological (ascite) biological fluids. It was shown that exosom…
Introduction. Oxidative processes in the pathogenesis of chronic cardiovascular diseases play a key role. Oxidative stress causes the damage of many cellular components, including lipids and proteins. Oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein triggers …
Introduction. RANK/RANKL/OPG ligand-receptor system is a key player in bone tissue homeostasis directly regulating osteoclast differentiation and osteolysis. Many pathologic processes imposed by impairments in bone remodeling including tumor growth and metasta…
Introduction. Oxidative stress is developed as a result of imbalance between the generation of reactive oxygen species and activity of the antioxidant defence system. This in turn results in profound changes in metabolism of lipids, proteins and nucleic acids,…
Introduction. Despite extensive researches, no molecular markers are currently available for predicting progression of squamous cell head and neck carcinoma. The paper presents results of pilot study of proteins in blood serum of healthy volunteers and patient…
Introduction. Owing to the intensive development of neurosciences immunoassay methods have received a widespread use. These methods allow studying the functioning features of the nervous system in trauma at the molecular level . The purpose of the study. The p…
Introduction. According to inflammatory theory of atherosclerosis the immune damage of arteries with an autoimmune component – is the main link of its pathogenesis. The imbalance of cytokines production influences on course and prognosis of atherosclerosis. As…
Introduction. One of the important tasks of hepatology is the prognosis of viral hepatitides. The prognosis is based on the analysis of genetic determination of the functioning of antiviral immunity, particularly, of the cytokine system. The aim of the study w…
