    Modulation of neural gene networks by estradiol in old rhesus macaque females

    The postmenopausal decrease in circulating estradiol (E2) levels has been shown to contribute to several adverse physiological and psychiatric effects. To elucidate the molecular effects of E2 on the brain, we...

    Synergism of non-thermal plasma and low concentration RSL3 triggers ferroptosis via promoting xCT lysosomal degradation through ROS/AMPK/mTOR axis in lung cancer cells

    Though (1S, 3R)-RSL3 has been used widely in basic research as a small molecular inducer of ferroptosis, the toxicity on normal cells and poor pharmacokinetic properties of RSL3 limited its clinical applicatio...

    A New Cell Signal Regulation Theory: Blocking the Signal from being Reactivated Before a New Activation

    Currently, the concept of cell signal regulation has two basic steps: activation and deactivation. There are many activators of the signals in vivo (e.g., hormones, growth factors, signal cross-talk, etc.). Ac...

    CMTM6 inhibits tumor growth and reverses chemoresistance by preventing ubiquitination of p21 in hepatocellular carcinoma

    Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies and has a poor prognosis. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is required for the degradation of most short-lived proteins. CMTM6 has been implicate...

    Pro-Resolving Lipid Mediators Improve Neuronal Survival and Increase Aβ42 Phagocytosis

    Inflammation in the brain is a prominent feature in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Recent studies suggest that chronic inflammation can be a consequence of failure to resolve the inflammation. Resolution of inflamm...

    Construction and Gene Expression Analysis of a Single-Stranded DNA Minivector Based on an Inverted Terminal Repeat of Adeno-Associated Virus

    The plasmid vectors currently used for nonviral gene transfer have the disadvantage of carrying a bacterial backbone and an antibiotic resistance gene, which may cause side effects. The adeno-associated virus ...
