Apobec-1 Increases Cyclooxygenase-2 and Aggravates Injury in Oxygen-Deprived Neurogenic Cells and Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Rats
Given that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) plays a crucial role during cerebral ischemia and Apobec-1 is a critical regulator of COX-2 mRNA stabilization in gastrointestinal settings, the correlation of COX-2 and Apo...

A novel translocation event leads to a recombinant stable chromosome with interrupted centromeric domains in rice
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) centromeres are composed of 155-bp satellite repeats (CentO), centromere-specific retrotransposon (CRR), and a variety of other repeats. Previous studies have shown that CentO and CRR eleme...

Open AccessAbsence of physiological Ca2+ transients is an initial trigger for mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle following denervation
Motor neurons control muscle contraction by initiating action potentials in muscle. Denervation of muscle from motor neurons leads to muscle atrophy, which is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. It is known t...
