    Abstract

    Effects of the PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathway on the Hair Inductivity of Human Dermal Papilla Cells in Hair Beads

    Transcriptome comparisons of human dermal papilla cells in hair beads (HBs) culture and in typical 2D culture revealed that the phosphoinositide 3-kinase and Akt (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway was significantly upregulated in HB culture.

    Ropivacaine Inhibits Wound Healing by Suppressing the Proliferation and Migration of Keratinocytes via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway

    Scientists found that ropivacaine delayed wound closure in vivo. In vitro experiments, it was demonstrated that ropivacaine significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of HaCaT cells via the suppression of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

    Abstract

    RIG-I Acts as a Tumor Suppressor in Melanoma via Regulating the Activation of the MKK/p38MAPK Signaling Pathway

    Investigators constructed retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) knockout, RIG-I-overexpressing B16-F10 and RIG-I knockdown A375 melanoma cell lines, and analyzed the RIG-I-mediated change in the biological behavior of tumor cells.
