Mechanism of Cell Cycle Asynchrony within the Animal Organism

Every organism is composed of multi-cellular systems. Each of these cells, from the time of birth until death, often plays a polyfunctional role. Obviously, this cycle must include periods of intense work and leisure. In other words, the organ cell masses are able to perform the asynchronous mechanism of cell cycle. The implementation of such a mechanism is regulated by the cell...

Investigation of the Inhibition Action of Antiviral Preparation 1 – Boraadamantane Concerning the Flu Virus

In this work, the surface-active properties of 1- boraadamantane have been studied on the model of monomolecular phospholipid monolayers.

Significance of the TLR Expression in the Cells of the Female Reproductive Tract of Patients with Chronic Endometritis Treated with Sodium Nucleospermate

Immunocytochemistry was performed on the cells taken from the ecto/endocervix and endometrium. The monoclonal antibodies produced against CD20, CD56 and TLR have been used in the immunocytochemistry. The frequency of the immunocytochemically positive cells was estimated before and after a course of sodium nucleospermate treatment, in women suffering from infertility. The real...

Lipid Transport through the Fetoplacental Barrier by the Fatty Acid-Binding Proteins in Pregnant Women with Herpes Virus Infection in the third Trimester
