Introduction. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorder, the primary pathological feature of which is the death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta and the accumulation of aggregated α-synuclein. Th…
This review systematizes current data on branched-chain aminotransferases (BCATs). Their molecular structure, classification as fold type IV pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzymes, and catalytic features are discussed in detail. The differences between th…
Background. Pollinosis is a progressive allergic disease mediated by an IgE-dependent reaction associated with the activation of inflammatory processes, oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, which affects, first of all, the membrane structures of various ce…
Background. University entry is accompanied by abrupt changes in social environment, lifestyle and cognitive load, which challenge stress-response systems, the autonomic nervous system (ANS), and immune-metabolic homeostasis. In Russian clinical practice, this…
The aim of this review is to systematize current knowledge on the role of selenium in biochemical processes and in the development of diseases associated with its deficiency or excess. Material and methods. A comprehensive search and analysis of publications f…
Introduction. Short peptides are considered a promising class of geroprotective agents capable of modifying key molecular mechanisms of aging, from epigenetic regulation of gene expression to maintenance of neuroendocrine and antioxidant homeostasis. Laborator…
Introduction. Glutathione (GSH) is a key intracellular antioxidant involved in maintaining redox homeostasis, detoxifying xenobiotics, regulating immune and neurotransmitter systems, and supporting protein folding and degradation. Depletion of GSH is associate…
Introduction. Purinergic signaling pathways in brain cells can play an important role both in physiological conditions and in depression and autism spectrum disorders. The purpose of this literature review was a systematic analysis of information in the modern…
Relevance. The mechanisms of B-lymphocyte immunity are not fully understood at present, in particular, the role and significance of the humoral response to viruses. There is insufficient understanding of how B-lymphocytes are selected for differentiation into …
Introduction. Studies consider the immune and neuroendocrine systems as actively interacting with each other and priority participating in the complex maintenance of homeostasis. Immune processes are dependent on the functional activity of the endocrine system…
Relevance. The review is devoted to the analysis of modern ideas about the functional role of connexins in intercellular interactions, their participation in maintaining cellular and tissue homeostasis and in the pathogenesis of diseases of the respiratory sys…
Background. Low sensitivity of bone tumors to various schemes of standard chemotherapy stimulated the search of new targets for their medicamentous treatment. Among such targets are the so-called “immune checkpoints” promoting the escape of the tumor from the …
The pathology of the respiratory organs is the leading one in the structure of the general human morbidity. Every year the number of diseases of the respiratory system increases, and the associated mortality increases in parallel. The study of the causes and m…
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 …
Sarcopenia is a progressive and generalized pathology of skeletal muscles of multi-factor nature. The present review focuses on the analysis of molecular genetic markers that may contribute both to sarcopenia risk formation and the variability of diagnosticall…
The review presents literature data that reveal the mechanism of mutual influence of microbiota and melatonin in the unified system «mother–placenta–fetus». There is shown the variety of functions performed by the microbiota, provided by the presence of commun…
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 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…
The review presents results of clinical and experimental investigations, revealed leptin’s role in the mechanisms of morphological and physiological development of the fetus and newborn. This review summarizes many of the published reports about the leptin’s r…
In this brief review there are considered possible reasons for the spread of disease of the multifactorial nature in modern populations from standpoints of the discordance between evolutionary formed genetic diversity and rapidly changing environmental factors…
