Open AccessThe tooth movement efficiency of different orthodontic thermoplastics for clear aligners: study protocol for a randomized controlled clinical trial
With regard to the esthetics and comfort of orthodontic treatment, the requirement for removable clear aligners (CAs) is increasing. Unlike conventional fixed orthodontic appliances, CAs were made of thermopla...

Open AccessPrediction of survival and immunotherapy response by the combined classifier of G protein-coupled receptors and tumor microenvironment in melanoma
Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin tumor, and G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play crucial roles in its carcinogenesis. Furthermore, the tumor microenvironment (TME) affects the overall survival (OS) a...

Metabolic crosstalk in the tumor microenvironment regulates antitumor immunosuppression and immunotherapy resisitance
The successful treatment of human cancers by immunotherapy has been made possible by breakthroughs in the discovery of immune checkpoint regulators, including CTLA-4 and PD-1/PD-L1. However, the immunosuppress...

Open AccessTelocytes inhibited inflammatory factor expression and enhanced cell migration in LPS-induced skin wound healing models in vitro and in vivo
Cell proliferation and death are key components of wound healing and tissue repair. Telocytes (TCs) represent a newly discovered cell type that can protect tissue from acute injury via cell–cell communication ...

Dicer generates a regulatory microRNA network in smooth muscle cells that limits neointima formation during vascular repair
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) coordinate vascular repair by regulating injury-induced gene expression in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and promote the transition of SMCs from a contractile to a proliferating phenot...

MicroRNA regulation of macrophages in human pathologies
Macrophages play a crucial role in the innate immune system and contribute to a broad spectrum of pathologies, like in the defence against infectious agents, in inflammation resolution, and wound repair. In th...

MicroRNA-126-5p promotes endothelial proliferation and limits atherosclerosis by suppressing Dlk1
Atherosclerotic lesions develop preferentially at sites of disturbed blood flow. As shown by Christian Weber and his coworkers, this predilection stems from effects of disturbed blood flow on endothelial expre...
