Isolation and Identification of Free Living Amoeba from Patients and Contact Lens Users in Iran.

Background: Free-living amoebae (FLA) such as spp., are considered as opportunistic and pathogenic protozoans. granulomatous encephalitis (AGE) is a serious threat for immunodeficient patients and keratitis (AK) for contact lens users.

Anti proliferative and apoptotic effects on pancreatic cancer cell lines indicate new roles for ANGPTL8 (Betatrophin).

Despite considerable advances, the treatment of pancreatic cancer (PC) still requires much effort. Unusual regulation of the Wnt and apoptotic signaling pathways is widespread in cancer incidence. For instance, the WIF1 (Wnt inhibitory factor 1) gene is down-regulated in many cancers.
