The roles of SFKs in the regulation of proinflammatory cytokines and NLRP3 in familial mediterranean fever patients.

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is caused by mutations in pyrin, a protein produced in innate immune cells that regulates the development of interleukin (IL)-1β by interacting with caspase-1 and other components of inflammasomes. 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.

Investigation of inhibitory effect of sulfated chitosan oligomer on human heparanase enzyme: and studies.

Deaths from cancer are widespread worldwide and the numbers continue to increase day by day. During the disease progression of cancer in cells, many of its metabolic activities change. Increased heparanase enzyme release is just one example.

Evaluation of probiotic properties of Levilactobacillus brevis isolated from hawthorn vinegar.

Probiotic microorganisms are increasing their interest today due to the benefits they provide to humans. Vinegar is the process of processing foods containing carbohydrates that can be fermented by acetic acid bacteria and yeasts. Hawthorn vinegar is also important in terms of amino acids, aromatic compounds, organic acids, vitamins and minerals it contains.

Probiotic Properties of a Lactobacillus fermentum Isolated from New-born Faeces.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been demonstrated to have roles in many applications, ranging from lowering of cholesterol to immunological development. In this study, Lactobacillus fermentum was isolated from a new-born's faeces and its genotypic and probiotic characterizations were performed. Our results showed that the survival rate of isolated Lactobacillus fermentum was 39.

Preparation of sulfatide mimicking oleic acid sulfated chitosan as a potential inhibitor for metastasis.

Sulfatide is associated with numerous health problems, affecting different parts of the human body, including the metastasis; however, the underlying mechanisms are yet to be fully elucidated. Sulfatide has been used to potential inhibitor for tumor cell metastasis. In the present study we synthesized oleic acid sulfated chitosan (OlcShCs).
