Stem cells play a key role in a wide range of biological processes, in large part due to their ability to self-renew or differentiate into specialized cell types in response to various biological cues. In vivo, stem cells reside in a complex microenvironme ...
The geometric relationships between a structural configuration and its internal force distribution have not received much attention for nearly hundred years. Directly stemming from the most fundamental principles of statics, the underlying theories were br ...
Hierarchical organization of tissues relies on stem cells, which either self-renew or produce committed progenitors predestined for lineage differentiation. Here we identify HOXA5 as an important repressor of intestinal stem cell fate in vivo and identify ...
We have targeted the Mycobacterium tuberculosis decaprenylphosphoryl-beta-D-ribose oxidase (Mt-DprE1) for potential chemotherapeutic intervention of tuberculosis. A multicopy suppression strategy that overexpressed Mt-DprEl in M. bovis BCG was used to prof ...
microRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs, which regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally and play crucial roles in relevant biological and pathological processes. Here we investigated the putative role of miRNAs in modulating the tumor-initiatin ...
Nicotine consumption is higher for people within the schizophrenia spectrum compared to controls. This observation supports the self-medication hypothesis, that nicotine relives symptoms in, for example, schizophrenia patients. We tested whether performanc ...
One of the most important steps in tumor progression involves the transformation from a differentiated epithelial phenotype to an aggressive, highly motile phenotype, where tumor cells invade neighboring tissues. Invasion can occur either by isolated mesen ...
The impacts of humeral offset and stem design after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) have not been well-studied, particularly with regard to newer stems which have a lower humeral inclination. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of diffe ...
The long-term risk of malignancy associated with stem cell therapies is a significant concern in the clinical application of this exciting technology. We report a cancer-selective strategy to enhance the safety of stem cell therapies. Briefly, using a cell ...
The objective was to explore how ferritin-H deletion influences Fe-59-distribution and excretion-kinetics in mice. Kinetics of Fe-59-release from organs, whole-body excretion, and distribution-kinetics of intravenously injected Fe-59 trace amounts were com ...
