Department of Plant Pathology, Faculty of Agriculture, Tarbiat Modares University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran.

Article Synopsis
  • Mycoremediation is an advanced bioremediation technique aimed at eliminating environmental contaminants, specifically focusing on identifying fungi tolerant to copper in soil samples from the Sarcheshmeh Copper Mine.
  • Out of 71 fungal isolates, three were able to grow in high copper sulfate concentrations, identified as Pleurotus eryngii and Sarocladium, using molecular methods.
  • Gene expression analysis revealed differences in laccase and metallothionein levels, indicating their roles in copper tolerance, with findings marking a first for heavy metal tolerant fungi studies in Iran.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is used for cell-based therapy for many hematological disorders. However, difficulty in finding proper donors has limited this source of stem cells. For clinical application, the generation of these cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSs) is a fascinating and endless source.

Aims: Human papillomavirus (HPV) L1, L2 and E7 proteins were used as target antigens for development of preventive and therapeutic vaccines. Moreover, linkage of antigens to heat shock proteins (HSPs) could enhance the potency of vaccines. Curcumin and nanocurcumin compounds were suggested as the chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agents against cancer.

Background: Random induced mutation by gamma radiation is one of the genetic manipulation strategies to improve the antagonistic ability of biocontrol agents.

Objectives: This study aimed to induce mutants with more sporulation, colonization rate leading to enhanced antagonistic ability ( assay) comparing to wild type (WT) and the assessment of genetic differences (in situ evaluation) using molecular markers. The superior mutants could be appropriate biocontrol agents against soil borne fungal diseases.

Different mechanisms, including transcriptional and post transcriptional processes, regulate tissue specific expression of genes. In this study, we report differences in gene/protein compositional features between apoptosis involved genes selectively expressed in human tissues. We found some correlations between codon/amino acid usage and tissue specific expression level of genes.

Registration is a process to align different acquired images of the same subject. A major problem in this field is to register images captured by different imaging systems. These images have different gray values so simple methods like correlation are not applicable.
