Open AccessMesenchymal stromal cells-derived matrix Gla protein contribute to the alleviation of experimental colitis
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that is difficult to treat. However, previous preclinical and clinical studies have shown that mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a promising ther...

Open AccessFoot-and-mouth disease virus induces lysosomal degradation of NME1 to impair p53-regulated interferon-inducible antiviral genes expression
Nucleoside diphosphate kinase 1 (NME1) is well-known as a tumor suppressor that regulates p53 function to prevent cancer metastasis and progression. However, the role of NME1 in virus-infected cells remains un...

Open AccessKnockdown of MSI2 inhibits metastasis by interacting with caveolin-1 and inhibiting its ubiquitylation in human NF1-MPNST cells
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNSTs) are highly aggressive Schwann cell-derived sarcomas, and they are either associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) or sporadic. Our previous study found ...
