Autophagy is a biological process characterized by self-digestion and involves induction of autophagosome formation, leading to degradation autophagic cargo. Aging associated with the reduction autophagy activity neurodegenerative disorders, chronic inflammation, susceptibility infection; however, underlying mechanism unclear. DNA methylation methyltransferases reduces expression corresponding genes. Since macrophages are major players in inflammation defense against infection we determined...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a fatal, genetic disorder that critically affects the lungs and directly caused by mutations in CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, resulting defective CFTR function. Macroautophagy/autophagy highly regulated biological process provides energy during periods of stress starvation. Autophagy clears pathogens dysfunctional protein aggregates within macrophages. However, this impaired patients mice, as their macrophages exhibit limited autophagy activity....

Abstract Background Successful treatment of pathogenic bacteria like Enterobacter Cloacae with bacteriophage (phage) counteract some hindrance such as phage stability and immunological clearance. Our research is focused on the encapsulation HK6 within chitosan nanoparticles. Result Encapsulation significantly improves stability, efficacy, delivery phages. Chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) achieve a entrapment efficiency 97%. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) reveals shifts...

Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DNP) is a type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) chronic complication, which the largest single cause of end-stage kidney disease. There an increasing evidence role inflammation and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) as part innate immune system in its development progression. In addition, receptor (TLR2) 4 (TLR4) downward signaling causes production proinflammatory cytokines, can induce insulin (INS) resistance T2DM. Objective: The goal this study was to estimate...

COVID-19 impacts the cardiovascular system resulting in myocardial damage, and also affects kidneys leading to renal dysfunction. This effect is mostly through binding with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) Neuropilin-1 (NRP-l) receptors. Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs) typically combine microbial pathogens provoke an inflammatory response.This work aims compare changes kidney heart function bioindicators expressions of TLRs (TLR2 TLR2) as well ACE2 NRP-l receptors moderate severe patients....

The primary factor causing chronic renal failure is diabetic nephropathy (DN) worldwide. However, the current biomarkers for DN have limited diagnostic utility. Thus, this work aimed to clarify implications of microRNA-200a (miR-200a) and microRNA-132 (miR-132) their correlation with NF-κB (nuclear factor- kappa beta), and, TNF-α (tumor necrosis -alpha) signaling identify able distinguish late-stage from early- stage DN.

Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a type that thought to be influenced by human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and polyomaviruses (HPyVs). In Egypt, CRC ranks as the 7th most common cancer, accounting for 3.47% of male cancers 3% female cancers. However, there currently lack information regarding presence PyVs HPVs co-infection specifically in cases Egypt. Therefore, aim this study was investigate occurrence HPyVs (JCPyV, BKPyV, SV40) infections, well co-infections, among patients Additionally,...

Abstract Background A novel corona virus called SARS-CoV-2 was identified at the end of December 2019, and illness induced by it designated as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Severity could vary significantly since most infected individuals experience mild to moderate respiratory symptoms recover without specialized care. Genetic polymorphisms have implications in influencing varying degrees COVID-19 severity. This study aims assess potential association between CXCL12 rs2839693...

Abstract Objective Nephropathy is among the most pervasive complications of diabetes; it frequently results in end-stage renal disease and even death. However, current biomarkers for diabetic nephropathy (DN) have limited diagnostic utility. Thus, this present study aims to examine associations estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with plasma concentrations microRNA-192 (miR-192), pentraxin-3 (PTX-3), transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) identify able distinguish late-stage from...

Increased prevalence of Enterobacter cloacae within food products underscores as an underexplored reservoir for antibiotic resistance, thus requiring particular intervention. Bacteriophages have been explored a promising approach controlling bacterial growth in different matrices. Moreover, their specific interaction and self-replication, put them apart from traditional methods bacteria
