The novel G-quadruplex-containing long non-coding RNA GSEC antagonizes DHX36 and modulates colon cancer cell migration
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are frequently dysregulated in a variety of human cancers. However, their biological roles in these cancers remain incompletely understood. In this study, we analyze the gene exp...

TAP-deficient human iPS cell-derived myeloid cell lines as unlimited cell source for dendritic cell-like antigen-presenting cells
We previously reported a method to generate dendritic cell (DC)-like antigen-presenting cells (APC) from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. However, the method is relatively complicated and laborious....

Expression and function of human steroid receptor RNA activator in prostate cancer cells: role of endogenous hSRA protein in androgen receptor-mediated transcription
Steroid receptor RNA activator (SRA) was first isolated as a steroid receptor co-activator that functioned as an RNA transcript. Later, we demonstrated that SRA needs to be translated in order to co-activate a...
