Runt related transcription factor 1 also known as RUNX1 play a pivotal role in the regulation of the development of hematopoietic system in accordance with various transcriptional co-regulators. It is one of the most common targets of chromosomal translocations and mutations in its runt domain are frequently associated with leukemogenesis. Structural studies of RUNX1-DNA complexes provide details of direct contacts formed between runt domain of RUNX1 and DNA. The amino acid residues, Lys83 and Arg174, of RUNX1 directly interact with its binding site on the promoters.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the Pathology monitoring from the students' perspective of an educational institution in the state Ceará, Brazil.

The global demand for herbal medicine is not only large, but growing. Due to many reasons many plants are becoming endanger or about to extinct. Most of the causal factors currently threatening plant species are anthropogenic in nature i.e. induced or influenced by man.

This study aims to establish the phenological performance of five (5) improved cultivars of the jujube tree Ziziphus mauritiana Lam. Introduced in Niger. Leaf growth, opening and abortion of flowers and fruit dynamics were monitored under an experimental design consisting of two lines of each variety and each line is consisting of 19 tree plants an overall of 38 plants tree per variety and 190 plants tree in total. Results showed that Umran cultivars recorded the highest leaf appearance with a mean of 6.2, while Ben Gurion and Kaitheli had the lowest mean value of 4.2 leaves.

Background of study: Coronary artery disease is the single largest killer of both men and women worldwide. Coronary artery disease (ischemic heart disease) has been defined as “impairment of heart function due to inadequate blood flow to the heart compared to its needs, caused by obstructive changes in the coronary circulation to the heart. The risk factors that precipitate Coronary artery disease can be presented in two categories that is modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Modifiable risk factors is one over which individual may access control.

This study assessed the influence of gender in property access and control among the Kisii people of Kenya. The study was guided by two objectives; identify key properties in Kisii County and establish the relationship between access and control over property and gender. Properties identified were residential houses, land, cattle, poultry, goats, commercial plots, houses, sheep and motor vehicles. However, this study focused on houses, land and livestock. Findings revealed men had unlimited access to family properties while women had limited access.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is intrinsically resistant to several antimicrobials and rapidly develop resistance to other drugs during treatment and make it difficult and ineffective. In this study Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated and clinically characterized from clinical samples and its antibiotic sensitivity pattern towards commonly prescribed Beta-lactum antibiotic disc.

The research study investigated the extent of awareness of safety rules and regulations in science laboratories in secondary schools in Ebonyi State. It investigated the extent science students in rural and urban secondary schools in Ebonyi State are aware of safety rules and regulations in science laboratories. The researchers used 45 secondary schools selected through stratified random sampling technique, SS3 classes selected using purposive sampling technique and 900 students selected through random sampling. The researchers adopted a descriptive survey design.
