Broad DNA repair responses in neural injury are associated with activation of the IL-6 pathway in cholesterol-fed rabbits.

16 Sep 2009 The importance of DNA repair in the pathogenic mechanism of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is still poorly understood. Here, we report that a broad range of responses by DNA repair proteins plays a critical role in the regulation of inflammatory response ... Read more...

Priming of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses using a HCV core ISCOMATRIX vaccine: a phase I study in healthy volunteers.

13 Mar 2009 The disease burden and public health impact of chronic HCV infection continues to be a major problem globally. Current treatment for chronic HCV infection is not effective in all patients and is frequently associated with unacceptable side effects. ... Read more...

Hepatic steatosis in chronic hepatitis B: contributing factors and effect on fibrosis.

30 Oct 2008 AIM: To determinate factors that contribute to the steatosis's formation in chronic hepatitis B, to evaluate its influence on the development of hepatic fibrosis and to research an eventual relation to virologic factors in a Tunisian cohort of ... Read more...
