Vajihe Zarrinpour; Zahrs Hajebrahimi

Volume 15, Issue 4 , December 2022, , Pages 89-96

Abstract
  A study of the effect of microgravity on the endothelial progenitor cells is useful both in understanding cardiac changes in astronauts and in using microgravity as angiogenic stimuli. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of microgravity on VEGFR-2 and CD34 angiogenesis markers. ...  Read More

Evaluation of Changes in the Expression Level of some Genes Involved in Decompression Sickness in the Pressure Changes

Ehsan Siami; Reza Mohammadi; Vajiheh Zarrinpour

Volume 15, Issue 1 , March 2022, , Pages 41-49

Abstract
  This study evaluates the expression level of genes that change by pressure changes in astronautics and diving disorders such as decompression sickness. This study was performed on five skilled divers to analyze the expression level of TLR-2, HSP-72, IL-1b, NF-kB, and MPO genes that are responsible for ...  Read More
