Purpose Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the deadliest of all tumors. Previously, we were the first to show that Thymoqui-none (TQ) derived from black seed (Nigella sativa) oil has anti-tumor activity against PC. However, the... more
Abstract Abstract. The highly conserved basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Hand plays a crucial role in cardiogenesis, limb formation and other developmental processes of vertebrates. Humans, mice and other higher vertebrates... more
High mobility group (HMG) proteins are chromatin proteins endowed with ‘architectural’ capabilities. HMGA proteins are moderately sequence-specific, and help build enhanceosomes by interacting with partner proteins and binding stably to... more
Urogenital birth defects are one of the common phenotypes observed in hereditary human disorders. In particular, limb malformations are often associated with urogenital developmental abnormalities, as the case for Hand-foot-genital... more
An orthologue of the COE family of helix-loop-helix transcription factors was recovered from the anthozoan Nematostella vectensis (Cnidaria). NvCOE has high sequence similarity to vertebrate and invertebrate orthologues in all three major... more
IL-4 and IL-13 are related cytokines which induce both pro- and anti-inflammatory effects depending on the cell type they act upon and the nature of the receptors expressed. The type I receptor complex is composed of the IL-4Ralpha and... more
