The main obstacle of influenza is that only a small proportion of cases progress to severe disease due to massive viral replication and excessive immune responses, while effective therapeutics for influenza-induced pneum...

Since the discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs) in 1993, they have been established as key post-transcriptional regulators of immune cell function. In particular, miRNAs have emerged as key modulators of CD4+ T cell activation...

ABSTRACT: Background: Anoikis plays an important role in cancer metastasis. Nevertheless, research that focuses on the prognostic values of anoikis-related genes (ARGs) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is still sc...

Abstract The IL-6 signalling pathway plays a significant role in the progression and development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Bazedoxifene is a potent inhibitor of IL-6R; however, its efficacy is limited by its low ...

Introduction and aims: Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) play pivotal roles in the regeneration of pulp-dentin complex, yet their odontogenic differentiation is critically modulated by the inflammatory microenvironme...

Objective: Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is a critical regulator of cell proliferation, differentiation, and inflammatory balance. However, its downstream proteomic effects in periodontal ligament stem cells (PDL...

Abstract Background Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a highly heterogeneous malignancy with significant morbidity and mortality, and cisplatin (DDP) resistance remains a major obstacle in its treatment. Previous studie...

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) triggers signal transduction in dental pulp cells (DPCs), leading to various biological events. The present study described the biological response of DPCs to LPS, aiming to provide a deeper unde...

Cytokinesis is the process by which mitotic cells physically split in two following chromosome segregation. Dividing animal cells first ingress a cytokinetic furrow and then separate the plasma membrane by abscission. Th...

BackgroundNitric oxide (NO) is a signalling and physiologically active molecule in animals, plants and bacteria. The specificity of the molecular mechanism(s) involved in transducing the NO signal within and between cell...

Background: Emerging evidence has shown that exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is a risk factor for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a representative PAH congener, exacerbates the develo...

Abstract Background Clinical responses to mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapies remain variable because MSCs are often treated as uniform biologics despite donor-programmed differences. Evidence indicates that develop...

ABSTRACT: Objective: While diabetes is known to impair dentin regenerative capacity, the specific role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is poorly defined. This study aimed to elucidate how eNOS regulates the ...

Micronutrients serve as critical metabolic sensors and epigenetic regulators that orchestrate cytokine production through multiple overlapping signalling cascades, transcriptional networks, and cellular metabolic states....

In the present work we investigated the importance of the Raf/MEK/ERK signalling pathway in the multiplication of the arenavirus Junı´n (JUNV) in monkey and human cell cultures. We established that JUNV induces a bipha...

ABSTRACT Cells rely on surface receptors to sense and initiate signalling cascades essential for numerous cellular processes, but engineering of synthetic genetic circuits to sense and rewire receptor activities for user...

Background Tranexamic acid (TXA) is widely used for pigmentary disorders, but its anti-ageing potential remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate whether topical 3% TXA improves early periorbital wrinkles in women wi...

Abstract Background In East Africa, bovine schistosomiasis, although common, is poorly appreciated and managed, detrimentally impacting upon livestock health. In certain settings, bovine schistosomiasis may be involved i...

Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac) is the causative agent of citrus canker. This bacterium develops a characteristic biofilm on both biotic and abiotic surfaces. To evaluate the participation of the single flagellum ...

ABSTRACT: Introduction and aims: To provide the research progress on the cGAS-STING signalling pathway and its related roles in various oral diseases. Methods: We reviewed the recent research on cGAS-STING in PubMed. Th...

Abstract Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) disproportionately affects elderly women and is closely associated with central obesity and metabolic dysfunction. Although sodium-glucose co-tra...

We reveal a coordinating role for Cx32-mediated cell–cell communication in maintaining mitotic-quiescence and limiting migration-associated TGFβ signalling, extracellular matrix remodelling and mesenchymal-like change...

Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac), the bacterium that causes citrus canker, contains a gene in the hrp [for hypersensitive response (HR) and pathogenicity] cluster that encodes a harpin protein called Hpa1. Hpa1 pro...

Abstract Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a complex and dynamic cellular process during which epithelial cells lose their polarity and cell adhesion capabilities and subsequently express mesenchymal stem cel...
