[Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications] MSCs were characterized by flow cytometry with more than 90% CD44 and 75% Sca-1 labeling. Mineralization was validated with paracellular alkaline phosphatase activity, collagen birefringence, and mineral deposition confirming MSCs identity.
[Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences] Scientists found that lncRNA XIST was related to the abnormal proliferation and migration of human vascular smooth muscle cells (HVSMCs), and thus, the mechanism by which XIST regulated HVSMCs was further investigated.
[Human Pathology] The apoptosis of smooth muscle cells is a major feature of thoracic aortic aneurysm. Scientists investigated the roles of circ_0091434 in human aortic smooth muscle cells.
[Experimental Cell Research] Researchers examined the involvement of advanced glycation end (AGE)-related receptors on AGE-induced angiogenesis in endothelial cells.
[Journal of Nanobiotechnology] The authors exploited atovaquone/albumin nanoparticles to improve bioavailability and tumor targeting of atovaquone, enhancing the efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy by normalizing tumor hypoxia.
[Oncology Reports] Researchers analyzed the effect of curcumol on prostate cancer and identify its possible internal regulatory pathway using in vitro cell culture and in vivo tumor model experiments.
