Open AccessMitoguardin 1 and 2 promote granulosa cell proliferation by activating AKT and regulating the Hippo-YAP1 signaling pathway
Mitochondria have been identified to be involved in oxidative phosphorylation, lipid metabolism, cell death, and cell proliferation. Previous studies have demonstrated that mitoguardin (Miga), a mitochondrial ...

Open AccessA novel microRNA-182/Interleukin-8 regulatory axis controls osteolytic bone metastasis of lung cancer
Bone metastasis is one of the main complications of lung cancer and most important factors that lead to poor life quality and low survival rate in lung cancer patients. However, the regulatory mechanisms under...

Open AccessMuscular Swedish mutant APP-to-Brain axis in the development of Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. Notably, patients with AD often suffer from severe sarcopenia. However, their direct link and relationship remain poorly understood. Here, we gener...

Open AccessThe essential roles of Mps1 in spermatogenesis and fertility in mice
Monopolar spindle 1 (MPS1), which plays a critical role in somatic mitosis, has also been revealed to be essential for meiosis I in oocytes. Spermatogenesis is an important process involving successive mitosis...

Open AccessFGF23 ameliorates ischemia-reperfusion induced acute kidney injury via modulation of endothelial progenitor cells: targeting SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling
The levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) rapidly increases after acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the role of FGF23 in AKI is still unclear. Here, we observe that pretreatment with FGF23 protein in...

Open AccessCoupling of terminal differentiation deficit with neurodegenerative pathology in Vps35-deficient pyramidal neurons
Vps35 (vacuolar protein sorting 35) is a key component of retromer that regulates transmembrane protein trafficking. Dysfunctional Vps35 is a risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s a...

Epigenetic regulation of the Warburg effect by H2B monoubiquitination
Cancer cells reprogram their energy metabolic system from the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway to a glucose-dependent aerobic glycolysis pathway. This metabolic reprogramming phenomenon...

Open AccessNeogenin, a regulator of adult hippocampal neurogenesis, prevents depressive-like behavior
Adult neurogenesis in hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) is a complex, but precisely controlled process. Dysregulation of this event contributes to multiple neurological disorders, including major depression. Thus...

Open AccessEpithelial cell adhesion molecule overexpression regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition, stemness and metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells via the PTEN/AKT/mTOR pathway
Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is known to be highly expressed in a variety of epithelial carcinomas, and it is involved in cell adhesion and proliferation. However, its expression profile and biolo...

Open AccessUpregulation of B7-H4 promotes tumor progression of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
Recent reports show that B7-H4 is highly expressed in a variety of tumor cells, functions as a negative regulator of T cells and then promotes tumor progression. However, its expression and role in intrahepati...

The checkpoint 1 kinase inhibitor LY2603618 induces cell cycle arrest, DNA damage response and autophagy in cancer cells
Chemotherapy- or radiotherapy-induced DNA damage activates the Chk1-dependent DNA damage response (DDR) and cell cycle checkpoints to facilitate cell survival. Numerous attempts have been made to identify spec...

Effects of Recombinant Human AMH on SCF Expression in Human Granulosa Cells
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of recombinant human anti-mullerian hormone (rhAMH) on Stem Cell Factor (SCF) expression in human granulosa cells (GCs). GCs were obtained from infer...
