Open AccessBRD4770 inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation via SUV39H2, but not EHMT2 to protect against neointima formation
The behavior of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contributes to the formation of neointima. We previously found that EHMT2 suppressed autophagy activation in VSMCs. BRD4770, an inhibitor of EHMT2/G9a, play...

Open AccessScaling-up and proteomic analysis reveals photosynthetic and metabolic insights toward prolonged H2 photoproduction in Chlamydomonas hpm91 mutant lacking proton gradient regulation 5 (PGR5)
Clean and sustainable H2 production is crucial to a carbon–neutral world. H2 generation by Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is an attractive approach for solar-H2 from H2O. However, it is currently not large-scalable be...
