3D airway epithelial tissues allowed to mimic exposure conditions in vitro, generated human-relevant toxicology data, and allowed to elucidate the mode of action of pollutants.
The anti-cancer effects of Tanshinone IIA (Tan-IIA) were investigated by using subcutaneous tumorigenic model in nude mice and in the human cholangiocarcinoma cell lines in vitro. Tan-IIA treatment considerably suppressed the proliferation and migration of Cholangiocarcinoma cells while inducing apoptosis of Cholangiocarcinoma cells.
The results showed that atractylenolide III significantly inhibited the cell growth and induce cellular apoptosis in HCT-116 cells in a concentration dependence manner in vitro.
Gum acacia – poly ethylene glycol grafted iron oxide nanocomposite was synthesised by in situ green science principles. The synthesized Nanocomposite was evaluated against the molecular mechanism of urinary tract pathogenic bacterial strains and prostate cancer cells.

Scientists reported that a chromatin modulator protein arginine N-methyltransferase 4/coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 was elevated in human lung tissues with pneumonia and in experimental lung injury models.
Scientists investigated the effect of diclofenac, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, on cell adhesion molecules and apoptosis in human colon adenocarcinoma cells. Levels of homing cell adhesion molecule, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and epithelial cell adhesion molecule were evaluated in cancer cells overexpressing or not expressing COX-2.
After warm acupuncture combined with bone-marrow MSCs, the Modified Lequesne MG knee joint assessment scale was used to evaluate the degree of knee joint behavior, the Taiping Peng method generally observed the histomorphology changes of knee osteoarthritis rabbit cartilage, and hematoxylin-eosin staining, safranin O green staining, and toluidine blue staining were conducted to evaluate the extent of cartilage tissue pathology.

To investigate the role of R349P Des in mechanical loading, scientists stimulated the sciatic nerve of wild-type littermates and animals carrying the mutation causing a lengthening contraction of the dorsi flexor muscles.
HepG2 and Huh7 cells were treated with different concentrations of L-leucine, L-glutamine, or L-methionine and cell viability was determined using MTT assay. Insulin-like growth factor 1, phosphorylated ribosomal protein S6 kinase, p53, and cyclin D1 protein levels were assayed using ELISA.
To investigate the role of CAIII in the apoptosis of myocytes under hypoxic conditions and facilitate the strategy for treating hypoxia-induced damage, in vitro experiments in H9c2 were employed.
