Open AccessRhoGDIβ-induced hypertrophic growth in H9c2 cells is negatively regulated by ZAK
We found that overexpression of RhoGDIβ, a Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor, induced hypertrophic growth and suppressed cell cycle progression in a cultured cardiomyoblast cell line. Knockdown of RhoGDIβ express...

Osteogenic effects of D(+)β-3,4-dihydroxyphenyl lactic acid (salvianic acid A, SAA) on osteoblasts and bone marrow stromal cells of intact and prednisone-treated rats
Previous studies have shown that D(+)β-3,4-dihydroxyphenyl lactic acid (salvianic acid A, SAA) has anabolic effects on prednisone (GC)-induced osteoporosis in rats. The current study aims to investigate the molec...

Stability of surface NMDA receptors controls synaptic and behavioral adaptations to amphetamine
This study shows that chronic amphetamine exposure in rats downregulates the NMDA receptor NR2B subunit on striatal neurons. This loss of NR2B has consequences for synaptic transmission and for behavior, sensi...
