Introduction: One of the key stages of wound healing is the phase of inflammation, which is a transitional process between hemostasis and wound healing. Each stage of the inflammatory-reparative process is characterized by its own value of the acidity of the wound bed. For example, in the acute stage of inflammation, the acidity of the medium in the wound bed decreases to pH 5.

Unlabelled: Laser therapy as a physiotherapeutic method has been successfully used for a long time in the treatment of various pathologies, but the action mechanisms of low level laser therapy (LLLT) remain understudied.
Objective: To perform the analysis of published results of LLLT investigations, to describe the physical principles of photobiomodulation, its action mechanisms on various cells and tissues, therapeutic intervention and efficiency of the technique.
Material And Methods: The search of articles was done for the period from 2014 to 2022.
Mutations in the methyl-DNA-binding repressor protein MeCP2 cause the devastating neurodevelopmental disorder Rett syndrome. It has been challenging to understand how MeCP2 regulates transcription because MeCP2 binds broadly across the genome and MeCP2 mutations are associated with widespread small-magnitude changes in neuronal gene expression. We demonstrate here that MeCP2 represses nascent RNA transcription of highly methylated long genes in the brain through its interaction with the NCoR co-repressor complex.

While epigenetic factors are thought to contribute to this process, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we show that in the brain during early life, the DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A transiently binds across transcribed regions of lowly expressed genes, and its binding specifies the pattern of DNA methylation at CA sequences (mCA) within these genes.

However, generating recombinant protein-expressing cell lines is usually a lengthy process and the resulting protein expression levels are often inconsistent. Here, we describe an efficient method for making stable cell lines expressing any recombinant protein of interest in a controllable and quantifiable manner.
