Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative condition that primarily affects the motor system and shares many features with frontotemporal dementia... -
Overexpression of CLC-3 is regulated by XRCC5 and is a poor prognostic biomar...
Abstract Background Recently, many potential prognostic biomarkers for gastric cancer (GC) have been identified, but the prognosis of advanced GC patients remains poor. Chloride... -
Kaiso differentially regulates components of the Notch signaling pathway in i...
Abstract Background In mammalian intestines, Notch signaling plays a critical role in mediating cell fate decisions; it promotes the absorptive (or enterocyte) cell fate, while... -
Remote ischemic preconditioning attenuates intestinal mucosal damage: insight...
Abstract Background Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a phenomenon, whereby repeated, non-lethal episodes of ischemia to an organ or limb exert protection against... -
Nur77-mediated TRAF6 signalling protects against LPS-induced sepsis in mice
Abstract Background Nur77, a key member of the NR4A receptor subfamily, is involved in the regulation of inflammation and immunity. However, the in vivo regulatory roles of... -

Abstract Background Misfolding and aggregation of the presynaptic protein alpha-synuclein (αsyn) is a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and related synucleinopathies.... -
The association between occupational loading and spine degeneration on imagin...
Abstract Background There are inconsistencies in findings regarding the relationship of occupational loading with spinal degeneration or structural damage. Thus, a systematic... -
Umbilical cord/placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells inhibit fibrogenic act...
Abstract Background The lack of anti-fibrotic agents targeting intestinal fibrosis is a large unmet need in inflammatory bowel diseases, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative... -
CDC-25.2, a <i>C. elegans</i> ortholog of <i>cdc25</i>, is essential for the ...
Intestinal divisions in Caenorhabditis elegans take place in 3 stages: (1) cell divisions during embryogenesis, (2) binucleations at the L1 stage, and (3) endoreduplications at... -
MicroRNA-532-5p is implicated in the regulation of osteoporosis by forkhead b...
Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators in osteogenesis and cartilage formation. This study was designed to investigate whether miR-532-5p plays a role in... -
Self-illuminating quantum dots for non-invasive bioluminescence imaging of ma...
Abstract Background The fertility performance of animals is still a mystery and the full comprehension of mammalian gametes maturation and early embryonic development remains to... -
