MYCOBACTERIAL AND HIV INFECTIONS UP-REGULATED HUMAN ZINC FINGER PROTEIN 134, A NOVEL POSITIVE REGULATOR OF HIV-1 LTR ACTIVITY AND VIRAL PROPAGATION.

Mycobacterial and HIV infections up-regulated human zinc finger protein 134, a novel positive regulator of HIV-1 LTR activity and viral propagation.

BACKGROUND: Concurrent occurrence of HIV and Tuberculosis (TB) infections influence the cellular environment of the host for synergistic existence.An elementary approach to understand such coalition at the molecular level is to understand the interactions of the host and the viral factors that subsequently effect viral replication.Long terminal rep

Impact of a short version of the CONSORT checklist for peer reviewers to improve the reporting of randomised controlled trials published in biomedical journals: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

Introduction Transparent and accurate reporting is essential for readers to adequately interpret the results of a study.Journals can play a vital role in improving the reporting Telephone of published randomised controlled trials (RCTs).We describe an RCT to evaluate our hypothesis that asking peer reviewers to check whether the most important and

Dietary-phytochemical mediated reversion of cancer-specific splicing inhibits Warburg effect in head and neck cancer

Abstract Background The deregulated alternative splicing of key glycolytic enzyme, Pyruvate Kinase muscle isoenzyme (PKM) is implicated in metabolic adaptation of cancer cells.The splicing switch from normal PKM1 to cancer-specific PKM2 isoform allows the cancer cells to meet their energy and biosynthetic demands, thereby facilitating the cancer ce
