Abstract Signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT-3) is a transcription factor that regulates the gene expression of several target genes.These factors are activated by the binding of cytokines and growth factors with STAT-3 specific receptors on cell membrane.Few years ago, STAT-3 was considered an acute phase shamrock belt buckl
Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen that causes mucosal gastrointestinal (GI) candidiasis tightly associated with gut inflammatory status.The emergence of drug resistance, the side effects of currently available antifungals and the high frequency of recurrent candidiasis indicate that new and improved therapeutics are needed.Probiotics ha
Abstract Fault ruptures induced by earthquakes pose 10026145n a significant threat to constructions, particularly underground structures such as pile foundations.Among various foundation types, batter pile foundations are widely used due to their ability to resist inclined forces.To gain new insights into the response of batter pile groups to fault
