Epigenetic Down-Regulation of microRNA-126 in Scleroderma Endothelial Cells Is Associated with Impaired Responses to VEGF and Defective Angiogenesis

MiR-126 expression, as well as EGFL7, in SSc-MVECs and skin, was significantly down-regulated in association with increased expression of SPRED1 and PIK3R2 and diminished response to VEGF.

Genome Researchers Question Security Provisions in New US Senate Bill

Buried in a bill approved by the US Senate to help the United States compete with China is language that is drawing fire from human genome researchers. It would require the NIH to develop new security protocols aimed at preventing the misuse of US-funded genomic data by China and other nations.

Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells-Derived Corneal Endothelial-Like Cells Promote Corneal Transparency in a Rabbit Model of Bullous Keratopath

Researchers used a modified approach to differentiate induced pluripotent stem cells into corneal endothelial-like cells (CECs). After the identification of differentiated CECs, the CECs were injected into the anterior chambers of the eyes of a rabbit model of bullous keratopathy.
