Open AccessVascular injury activates the ELK1/SND1/SRF pathway to promote vascular smooth muscle cell proliferative phenotype and neointimal hyperplasia
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation is the leading cause of vascular stenosis or restenosis. Therefore, investigating the molecular mechanisms and pivotal regulators of the proliferative VSMC phen...

Open AccessA novel c-Met/TRK inhibitor 1D228 efficiently inhibits tumor growth by targeting angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation
Multiple tumors are synergistically promoted by c-Met and TRK, and blocking their cross-signalling pathway may give better effects. In this study, we developed a tyrosine kinase inhibitor 1D228, which exhibite...

Open AccessArginase: shedding light on the mechanisms and opportunities in cardiovascular diseases
Arginase, a binuclear manganese metalloenzyme in the urea, catalyzes the hydrolysis of L-arginine to urea and L-ornithine. Both isoforms, arginase 1 and arginase 2 perform significant roles in the regulation o...

Oncoprotein Tudor-SN is a key determinant providing survival advantage under DNA damaging stress
Herein, Tudor-SN was identified as a DNA damage response (DDR)-related protein that plays important roles in the early stage of DDR. X-ray or laser irradiation could evoke the accumulation of Tudor-SN to DNA d...

Metabolic and phylogenetic analyses based on nitrogen in a new poly-γ-glutamic acid-producing strain of Bacillus subtilis
Nitrogen metabolism was investigated during poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) synthesis and phylogenetic analyses was used to explore glutamate dependency in Bacillus subtilis HSF1410.

Differential profiling analysis of miRNAs reveals a regulatory role in low N stress response of Populus
Nitrogen (N) is an essential mineral element for plant growth processes, and its availability severely affects the productivity of plants, especially trees. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs ap...

Identification of novel and conserved Populus tomentosa microRNA as components of a response to water stress
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, non-coding RNAs that play important downregulation roles in plants growth, development, and stress responses. To better identify Populus tomentosa miRNAs and understand th...

Thermostable esterase from Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis: high-level expression, purification and characterization
The lipA gene encoding a thermostable esterase was cloned from Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant esterase, with a molecular mass of approx. 43 kDa determined ...
