Promoter polymorphisms in TGF ‐®1 and IL‐10 genes influence tumor dendritic cells infiltration, development and prognosis of colorectal cancer
ConclusionThe T‐allele of TGFB1 ‐509C/T SNP might be a protective factor for development of CRC, but in the course of the disease this variant allele might be associated with more unfavorable prognosis of the patients. (Source: The Journal of Gene Medicine)

MMP ‐3 (–1171 5A/6A; Lys45Glu) variants affect serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)‐3 and correlate with severity of COPD: A study of MMP‐3, MMP‐7 and MMP‐12 in a Tunisian population
ConclusionsMMP‐3 (–1171) 5A/6A and Lys45Glu (A/G) polymorphisms were associated with the decline of lung function among COPD patients. These results could be linked to the upregulation of MMP‐3 in serum from COPD patients carrying the (–1171) 6A and 45 G homozygous genotypes. (Source: The Journal of Gene Medicine)

Mesenchymal stem cell therapy: A promising cell ‐based therapy for treatment of myocardial infarction
Abstract For decades, mesenchymal stem (MSCs) cells have been used for cardiovascular diseases as regenerative therapy. This review is an attempt to summarize the types of MSCs involved in myocardial infarction (MI) therapy, as well as its possible mechanisms effects, especially the paracrine one in MI focusing on the studies (human and animal) conducted within the last 10 years. Recently, reports showed that MSC therapy could have infarct‐limiting effects after MI in both experimental and clinical trials. In this context, various types of MSCs can help cardiac regeneration by either revitalizing the cardiac stem cells ...

Impact of cellular restriction gene (TRIM5 α, BST‐2) polymorphisms on the acquisition of HIV‐1 and disease progression
ConclusionTRIM5α haplotypes and BST‐2 i19 allele may significantly affect the modulation of HIV‐1 acquisition and its progression. TRIM5α rs7127617 CC and BST‐2 Δ19/i19 genotypes in alcohol using HIV patients elevated the risk of HIV disease progression. (Source: The Journal of Gene Medicine)
