Background Aims: The leading mammary cancer in Burkina Faso, breast cancer has a variety of origins. In fact, an alteration
in the MAP3K14 [GenBank: NC_000017.11, ID: 9020] and CD40 [GenBank: NC_000020.11, ID: 958] genes can lead to the
development of breast cancer. The goal of this study is to highlight the possible involvement of the polym(...)

Background: Cervix cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women in many developing countries, and most commonly the result of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Most often, this infection does not lead to injury or cancer - there is viral clearance. We therefore proposed to study the polymorphism of certain genes such as KIR, which(...)

Effects of industrial and traditional (Soumbala) broth consumption on reproductive performance in male NMRI mice
Wendyam Joëlle Raymonde YOUGBARE, Geneviève ZABRE, Basile TINDANO, Karim SAKIRA, Elisabeth OUEDRAOGO and Balé BAYALA
The use of culinary broths to enhance the flavor of foods has increased in Africa in recent years. However, the side effects of these flavor enhancers, particularly on reproductive function, are still unclear. The aim of the present study was therefore to evaluate the impact of industrial and traditional (Soumbala) broths on sex organ developm(...)
