Though tamoxifen achieves success in treating estrogen receptor α (ERα)-positive breast cancer, the followed development of tamoxifen resistance is a common challenge in clinic. Signals downstream of prolactin...
Article
Breast cancer is a major global health concern, and there is a continuous search for novel biomarkers to predict its prognosis. The mitochondrial protein NDUFAF6, previously studied in liver cancer, is now bei...
Article
Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) comprises 17% of the human genome. As the only autonomous and active retrotransposons, L1 may take part in cancer initiation and progression in some ways. The...
Article
Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by progressive and widespread gray matter (GM) atrophy. Studies have shown that normal brain development has an impact on schizophrenia-induced GM a...
Article
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and often disabling autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) surrounds and protects the CNS. Analysis of CSF can aid the diagnosis ...
Article
Assessment of immune function is of key importance in recognition of disease or healthy status, which still faces challenge in clinical practice. We conducted a 10-center study to investigate lymphocyte parame...
Article
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) causes progressive decline of memory and cognitive deficits. Because of its complicated pathogenesis, the prevention and therapy of AD remain an enormous challenge. It has been reporte...
Article
Protozoan parasite secretions can be triggered by various modified media and diverse physicochemical stressors. Equally, host-parasite interactions are known to co-opt the exchange and secretion of soluble bio...
Article
Paeonol is a biologically active component purified from the root bark of Cortex Moutan that exerts pharmacological effects on the cervical cancer. In this study, we aim to evaluate the anti-cervical cancer ca...
Article
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a typical neurodegenerative disease. Well-established studies have shown an elevated level of ROS (reactive oxygen species) that induces oxidative stress in AD. Saikosaponin-D exhib...

Article
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Because of its complex pathogenesis, the prevention and therapies of AD still are a severe challenge. Evidence suggested that cro...
Article
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been widely implicated in immune regulation, but evidence for the coordinated function of paralogous miRNA clusters remains scarce. Here, by using genetically modified mice with individ...
Article
Since it was first recognized in bacteria and archaea as a mechanism for innate viral immunity in the early 2010s, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (...
Protocol
Nanoparticles are an extensive class of naturally occurred or man-made objects; it has been widely using in our daily life. As increasing usage, nanoparticles are also released into the environment and are bec...
Protocol
As increasing application of nanoparticles, nanoparticles have been becoming a new emerging environmental pollution that attracts a lot of attention from the scientific community and also regulatory agents. In...
Protocol
Gene expression analysis has been becoming a popular method for studying gene function and response to different environmental stresses, including toxin/pollution exposure. Selection of a suitable reference ge...

Article
Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a well-recognized pleiotropic cytokine which plays crucial roles in immune regulation and inflammatory responses. Recent studies suggest that IL-33 and its receptor ST2 are involved i...
Article
Prolactin receptor (PRLR) is highly expressed in a subset of human breast cancer and prostate cancer, which makes it a potential target for cancer treatment. In clinical trials, the blockade of PRLR was shown ...
