Staphylococcus aureus can cause disease through the production of toxins. Toxin production
is autoinduced by the protein RNAIII-activating protein (RAP) and by the autoinducing …

In this report we describe the cloning, organization, and promoter analysis of the Staphylococcus
aureus thioredoxin (trxA) and thioredoxin reductase (trxB) genes and their transcription …

Telomeres serve as a mitotic clock and biological marker of senescence. Diabetes mellitus (DM)
is associated with damage to target organs and premature aging. We assessed the …

Exosomes are small (30-100nm) vesicles secreted from all cell types serving as inter-cell
communicators and affecting biological processes in “recipient” cells upon their uptake. The …

Background: Living cells can be viewed as complex adaptive systems that exhibit non-linear
dynamics and fractal features. We investigated the fractal qualities of normal and malignant …

Background: Telomerase (human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)) is considered
a hallmark of cancer. The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility of the detection of …

Background In order to proliferate indefinitely, all tumors require a telomere maintenance
mechanism. The expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) enables …

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive malignant brain tumor. Despite some
recent improvement in the treatment of this malignancy, life expectancy of GBM patients …

Telomeres (TLs) protect chromosome ends from chromosomal fusion and degradation, thus
conferring genomic stability, and play crucial roles in cellular aging and disease. Recent …

It is now well accepted that cancer cells change their microenvironment from normal to tumor-supportive
state to provide sustained tumor growth, metastasis and drug resistance. These …
