Exosomes are natural spherical phospholipids vesicles derived from cells. Dropping MCF-7 exosome (with high biomarkers as exosomal case) covalently onto the SCPE-GNP causes the sensor to be stable due to the electrochemical induction of positive charges of different biomarkers with [Fe(CN)6] reactions. In the following, the covalent p19 connection with the biomarkers of exosome turns off the sensor.

Objectives: The current study aimed to show the rate of co-infection of M. tuberculosis and P.
The dihydropteroate sulfate (DHPS) gene is associated with resistance to sulfa/sulfone drugs in Pneumocystis jirovecii. We investigated the DHPS mutation rate in three groups of Iranian HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients by polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphism analysis. Furthermore, an association between P.

Normal mouse preantral follicles were randomly divided into three experimental groups. In the control group, follicles were cultured immediately; in the vitrification and slow freezing groups, follicles were cultured after vitrification-warming and slow freezing-thawing procedures.

P. jirovecii typing, based on ITS1 and ITS2 sequence analysis, was performed on 34 isolates from Iranian immunosuppressed patients.
