Neuroprotective Mechanism of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Improving the Phenotype Polarization of Microglia via the PI3K/AKT/Nrf2 Pathway in Vascular Dementia
Vascular dementia (VaD) rat model was established by bilateral common carotid artery ligation andhuman umbilical cord MSC derived extraellular vesicles (EVs) were extracted. VaD rats were injected with Evs through the tail vein.
[EMBO Journal] Using a variety of in vitro and in vivo techniques, researchers showed that metastatic prostate cancer cells acquire a specific Na+/Ca2+ signature required for persistent invasion.
[Molecular Cell] Investigators explored the role of minor intron-containing genes and minor spliceosome in cancer, taking prostate cancer as an exemplar.
[Nature Communications] The authors uncovered dual-phosphorylated form of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBF1), pY673/951-SREBF1 that acts as an androgen sensor, and dissociates from androgen receptor in androgen deficient environment, followed by nuclear translocation.
