Aberrant CREB1 Activation in Prostate Cancer Disrupts Normal Prostate Luminal Cell Differentiation

Researchers discovered that CREB1 played a central role in maintaining new luminal cell survival and that oncogenesis dramatically changed the CREB1-induced transcriptome. CREB1 was active in luminal cells, but not basal cells.

CGRP Protects Bladder Smooth Muscle Cells Stimulated By High Glucose through Inhibiting p38 MAPK Pathway In Vitro

Researchers indicated that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) protected bladder smooth muscle cells from oxidative stress induced by high glucose in vitro, and inhibit the α-SM-actin expression decrease through inhibiting the intracellular p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Physiological and Pharmacological Stimulation for In Vitro Maturation of Substrate Metabolism in Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes

Researchers investigated substrate metabolism in hiPSC-CMs grown as a monolayer and in 3D, in porous collagen-derived scaffolds and in engineered heart tissue, by measuring rates of glycolysis and glucose and fatty acid oxidation, and changes in gene expression and mitochondrial oxygen consumption.
