As in many other Mediterranean countries, β-Thalassemia is also a major public health concern in Turkey. The average gene frequency.is estimated to be two per cent, and regions with higher figures are known to exist. Country ...

Genomic DNA is maintained and regulated by chromatin proteins. Methods for research of chromatin organization are numerous and established, however, it is still a challenge to identify novel chromatin proteins associated ...

Ochratoxin-A (OTA) is a mycotoxin, produced as a secondary metabolite by fungi belonging to Aspergillus and Penicillium genera. It has been recognized as a carcinogen in rodents and a possible carcinogen to humans. In our ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a late onset neurodegenerative disease of the motor neurons, leading to death within two-three years of onset. Extensive studies have thus far helped identify many genetic causes for ...

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder, which is primarily characterized by the death of motor neurons in the cerebral cortex, spinal cord, and brainstem. Degeneration of motor neurons ...

In vertebrates, an individual olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) expresses only one allele of one olfactory receptor (OR) gene from a huge genomic repertoire. The molecular mechanism governing “one neuron-one receptor rule” ...

Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1) is an immunoglobulin superfamily cell surface protein highly upregulated on the surface of dedifferentiated renal proximal tubule epithelial cells regenerating after toxic or ischemic injury. ...

Adipokinetic hormone (AKH) is an insect neuropeptide and known as gonadotropinreleasing hormone, which is orthologue to humans. It is released from corpora cardiaca and acts generally on fat body for energy mobilization. ...

Intellectual Disability (ID) is a heterogenic neurodevelopmental disorder seen in different spectrums in affected individuals. Resulting problems in the diagnosis of ID and limitations in its treatment constitutes a great ...

The one receptor - one neuron rule is a common phenomenon observed in sensory organs. In the Drosophila eye, each photoreceptor expresses one of six different rhodopsin genes. The expression patterns of inner photoreceptors ...
