Ubiquitin-specific protease 5 promotes bladder cancer progression through stabilizing Twist1
Aberrant activation of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway drives the development of solid tumors, which is precisely regulated by core EMT-related transcription factors, including Twist1. Howe...

Pathological Networks Involving Dysmorphic Neurons in Type II Focal Cortical Dysplasia
Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is one of the most common causes of drug-resistant epilepsy. Dysmorphic neurons are the major histopathological feature of type II FCD, but their role in seizure genesis in FCD i...

Open AccessIs obstructive sleep apnoea associated with hypoxaemia and prolonged ICU stay after type A aortic dissection repair? A retrospective study in Chinese population
Although obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is prevalent among patients with aortic dissection, its prognostic impact is not yet determined in patients undergoing major vascular surgery. We aimed to investigate th...

Open AccessCD8+ T lymphocyte is a main source of interferon-gamma production in Takayasu’s arteritis
Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) is a cytokine involved in the pathogenesis of Takayasu’s arteritis (TAK). However, the source of IFN-γ in TAK patients is not fully clear. We aimed to investigate the source of IFN-γ i...

Open AccessKinesin family member 18B regulates the proliferation and invasion of human prostate cancer cells
Expression of kinesin family member 18B (KIF18B), an ATPase with key roles in cell division, is deregulated in many cancers, but its involvement in prostate cancer (PCa) is unclear. Here, we investigated the e...

Open AccessIncreased NRG1-ErbB4 signaling in human symptomatic epilepsy
Previous studies have shown that the neuregulin 1 (NRG1)-ErbB4 signaling pathway may regulate the excitability of fast-spiking neurons in the frontal cortex and participate in primary epilepsy pathogenesis. Ho...

Neuregulin 1 regulates excitability of fast-spiking neurons through Kv1.1 and acts in epilepsy
In mouse models, the authors find that NRG1–ErbB4 signaling contributes to epilepsy through regulating the excitability of fast-spiking parvalbumin interneurons. ErbB4 expression was also reduced in human epil...
