Objective: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is defined as the attachment of the placenta to the uterine wall in varying degrees. However, the studies have explored that the underlying molecular mechanisms of the PAS are very limited. Sirtuins 1 (SIRT1) is associated with placental development by controlling trophoblast cell invasion and remodeling of spiral arteries.

Although overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines have been observed in FMF patients, no studies have been conducted on the role of Src family kinases (SFKs). The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of SFKs on the modulation of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, and NLRP3 inflammasome in patients with FMF.

Methods: A total of 30 placenta accreta spectrum, 20 placenta previa, and 30 controls were experienced. The sirtuin 2 and sirtuin 7 expression levels in the placentas of these groups were determined by Western blot.
SARS-CoV-2 is still threat and mostly used detection method is real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) for the open reading frame (Orf1ab), RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), nucleocapsid (N) and envelope (E) genes of virus. However, rRT-PCR may have false negative rate for the nucleic acid detection. Since the RdRp/Orf1ab has high sensitivity for the molecular detection, two sandwich models, Model 1A-Model 1B, based on hybridization on lateral flow assay (LFA) were designed here and applied with the synthetic and clinical samples of RdRp/Orf1ab.

Objective: We investigated a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif-12 (ADAMTS-12) levels in both fetal umbilical cord and maternal blood of pairs diagnosed with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS).
Method: We analyzed ADAMTS-12 level by ELISA in 160 samples that included 30 control pairs (30 maternal and 30 umbilical cord serums), 20 pairs in the placenta previa (PP), and 30 pairs in the PAS group (30 maternal and 30 umbilical cord serums).
Results: There were increased serum levels of ADAMTS-12 in maternal serum ( 0.
SARS-CoV-2 is still threat for humanity and its detection is crucial. Although real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction is the most reliable method for detection of N protein genes, alternative methods for molecular detection are still needed. Thus, lateral flow assay models for 2019-nCoV_ N3 were developed for molecular detection.

Early-onset breast cancer is well recognized as it clinically differs from old-age diagnosed breast neoplasms. polymorphism relates to the risk of breast neoplasms, but this relationship in Turkish early-onset breast cancer patients has not been investigated yet.

Background: Behcet's Disease (BD) is a multisystemic inflammatory disorder affecting large vessels, lungs joints, gastrointestinal and neurological systems. The pathogenesis of BD remains poorly understood. Identifying the key signaling pathway is crucial for a complete understanding of the pathogenesis of BD.
