https://doi.org/10.22034/HBB.2020.01

Abstract
  This note is prepared by the authors of a recent publication on shared genetic architecture of drug response based on summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to propose a drug repurposing approach for the treatment of coronavirus COVID-19. The authors proposed that in silico studies ...  Read More

Specific signaling pathways and drugs play key role in regulation of angiogenesis
Volume 4, Issue 1 , June 2020, Pages 7-37

https://doi.org/10.22034/HBB.2020.02

Abstract
  In this study, angiogenesis inducers and inhibitors and some important drugs are introduced. Abnormal angiogenesis can occur if the balance between inhibitory and inducible factors disappears. Angiogenesis inducers include EGF, FGF2, TGF-β, VEGF, G-CSF, HGF, TGF-α, IL-8, TNF-α and angiogenesis ...  Read More

Investigating interaction between IL-17A, IL-17E, TNF-α and rs3783605 and its effect on VCAM-1 promoter activity in the human umbilical vein endothelial cells
Volume 4, Issue 1 , June 2020, Pages 59-67

https://doi.org/10.22034/HBB.2020.05

Abstract
  The present study is created to determine the effect of rs3783605 and its interaction with IL-17A, IL-17E and TNF-α cytokines on the action of VCAM-1 gene promoter in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Recent research shows that IL-17A and TNF-α cytokines have main effect on ...  Read More

Insights into the evolutionary origin of Mycoplasma species
Volume 4, Issue 1 , June 2020, Pages 68-85

https://doi.org/10.22034/HBB.2020.06

Abstract
  Mycoplasma species are cell wall deficient intracellular microorganisms that are related to respiratory and urogenital infections in human being. In this study, we are providing insights into the Mycoplasma evolutionary origin based on the taxonomical characterization of such microorganism and also searching ...  Read More
