Gene expression analysis of mouse embryonic stem cells following levitation in an ultrasound standing wave trap.
(2011)In the present paper, gene expression analysis of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells levitated in a novel ultrasound standing wave trap (USWT) (Bazou et al. 2005a) at variable acoustic pressures (0.08?0.85 MPa) and times ... -
Genetic Polymorphisms in the Histamine Receptor Family
(Humana Press, Springer Nature, 2016)Histamine is a biogenic amine which has an inherent biological importance in many physiological functions, both in the central nervous system and in the periphery. With the new genomic era we are facing, personalized care ... -
Identification of microRNAs with a role in glucose stimulated insulin secretion by expression profiling of MIN6 cells.
(2010)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of endogenous small non-coding RNAs which regulate mRNAs at the post-transcriptional level. MiRNAs have been identified in both normal physiological and pathological conditions. To date, a ... -
Isosteviol has beneficial effects on palmitate-induced cell dysfunction and gene expression.
(2012)BACKGROUND: Long-term exposure to high levels of fatty acids impairs insulin secretion and exaggerates glucagon secretion. The aim of this study was to explore if the antihyperglycemic agent, Isosteviol (ISV), is able ... -
Metabolic syndrome: a closer look at the growing epidemic and its associated pathologies
(2015)Obesity is reaching epidemic proportions with recent worldwide figures estimated at 1.4 billion and rising year-on-year. Obesity affects all socioeconomic backgrounds and ethnicities and is a pre-requisite for metabolic ... -
miR-134 in extracellular vesicles reduces triple-negative breast cancer aggression and increases drug sensitivity
(2015)Exosomes (EVs) have relevance in cell-to-cell communication carrying pro- tumorigenic factors that participate in oncogenesis and drug resistance and are proposed to have potential as self-delivery systems. Advancing ...
