Micro-RNAs are a group of small non-coding RNA molecules regulating target genes at the post-transcriptional level. Micro-RNAs are involved in the control of many pathophysiological processes, including dyslipidemia, the main risk factor for atherosclerosis. C…
The review presents data on the role of the nuclear factor NF-κB and the von Hippel-Lindau protein (VHL) in the development of kidney cancer. Chemo- and radioresistance, specific for renal cell carcinoma, represented a significant problem in the treatment of p…
Introduction. Her2/neu is one of the most studied molecular target the overexpression of which is associated with poor prognosis and aggressive course of the disease. The use of modern non-invasive radionuclide techniques with the application of highly affinit…
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. Despite the continuous improvement of the surgical method of treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), there is no noticeable tendency to improve survival data. This 5-year index does not exceed 15–25%. In this regard, it is …
The use of dextran sodium sulphate (DSS) as an agent for the induction of the experimental colitis is regarded as a valid method in experimental biology and medicine for the estimation of the effectiveness of pharmacological preparations for the treatment of i…
Diagnosis and determination of tumor process in patients with prostate cancer are the most urgent problems of modern оncology. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is one of the most promising molecular targets for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The le…
Surgery results of the treatment of the stage II–III lung cancer remains to be unsatisfactory, and used the chemotherapy fails to improve the survival. The main obstacle is the use of standard clinical parameters for the treatment strategy and not enough effec…
The aim of the study. This study was designed to explore relationships between the activation of signaling pathways triggered by a novel cardioprotective drug Metilin, on one hand, and the recovery of metabolic state and the membrane stability in cardiomyocyte…
The neuropeptide galanin (Gal) is widely distributed as well in central and peripheral nervous system, as in other organs and tissues of humans and animals. Its pleotropic effect is due to an activation or inhibition of galanin specific receptors – GalR1, GalR…
Introduction. The physiological state of the skin vasculature is largely determined by the influence of environmental factors, including the alteration of the oxygen partial pressure. Obviously, the epidermis, as the surface layer of the skin, should play a ke…
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…
In acute focal ischemia of the heart and brain similar processes are developing despite the obvious differences in the structure, function, and blood supply of these organs. It was shown that under ischemic conditions synthesis stress induced proteins includin…
The aim of the study was to establish the contribution of NOTCH1 polymorphisms on the development of a combined bicuspid aortic valve and aortic coarctation. Design and Patients. The study included 34 patients, the control group consisted of 200 cases without …
Introduction. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a socially important neurodegenerative disease. The prevalence rate of AD is increasing over recent years. According to the hypothesis concerning AD to be a systematic disease its manifestation can be detected in vario…
The frequency of reported cases of melanoma and related mortality rates continue to increase worldwide. The study of the basic mechanisms of both the initiation and development of this highly aggressive tumour proves to be important for the identification of t…
At present, various antineoplastic agents are widely used to treat cancer. There are certain problems associated with their use, such as the inhibition of the pool of dividing cells, poor tolerance and efficiency. Targeted therapy also has several disadvantage…
This article reviews loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique that since its invention in 2000 has gradually become one of the most popular isothermal amplification technologies. In this paper, we described the mechanism of LAMP reaction, differ…
Energy supply of cells can be provided through both an oxygen-dependent pathway of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and oxygenindependent glycolysis. Oxidative phosphorylation in the synthesis of ATP is more efficient than in glycolysis, and respectivel…
Introduction. EGFR mutation and EML4-ALK fusion are the most clinically significant genetic alterations in non-small cell lung cancer. Numerous studies have been devoted to EGFR mutations and their association with phenotypic clinical and pathological characte…
