SYSTEMS THINKING AND COMPLEXITY SCIENCE METHODS AND THE POLICY PROCESS IN NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASE PREVENTION: A SYSTEMATIC SCOPING REVIEW PROTOCOL

Systems thinking and complexity science methods and the policy process in non-communicable disease prevention: a systematic scoping review protocol

Introduction Given the complex causal origins of many non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and the complex landscapes in which policies designed to tackle them are made and unfold, the need for systems thinking and complexity science (STCS) in developing effective policy solutions has been emphasised.While numerous methods informed by STCS have Oversi

miR-150 suppresses the proliferation and tumorigenicity of leukemia stem cells by targeting the Nanog signaling pathway

Proliferation, a key feature of cancer cells, accounts for the majority of cancer-related diseases resulting in mortality.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) plays important post-transcriptional modulation roles by acting on multiple signaling pathways, but the underlying mechanism in proliferation and tumorigenicity is unclear.Here, we identified the role of Clean

Estimation of serum levels of mast cells-related chymase, histamine and diamine oxidase in oral submucous fibrosis- a preliminary report

Abstract background Mast cell infiltration in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) has been drawn in to play a definitive role in initiation, progression, and symptom like burning sensation.Degranulation products of mast cells like tryptase and chymase have been studied through immunochemistry.The presence of mast cells in close to fibroblasts certainly
