Open AccessPerspectives from Young South African and Zimbabwean Women on Attributes of Four (Placebo) Vaginal Microbicide Delivery Forms
Incorporating end-user input into the design of new vaginal microbicides for women is key to optimizing their uptake, consistent use, and, ultimately, success in combatting the heterosexual HIV epidemic.

The detection and clinical significance of peripheral regulatory CD4+CD25hiCD127low T cells in patients with non-small cell lung cancer
In this study, we aimed to discuss the clinical significance of CD4+CD25hiCD127low regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the peripheral blood of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Open AccessDRP1 inhibition rescues retinal ganglion cells and their axons by preserving mitochondrial integrity in a mouse model of glaucoma
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness and is characterized by slow and progressive degeneration of the optic nerve head axons and retinal ganglion cell (RGC), leading to loss of visual functi...

Preservation of forelimb function by UPF1 gene therapy in a rat model of TDP-43-induced motor paralysis
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is an RNA surveillance mechanism that requires upframeshift protein 1 (UPF1). This study demonstrates that human UPF1 exerts protective effects in a rat paralysis model based...

Latrepirdine improves cognition and arrests progression of neuropathology in an Alzheimer's mouse model
Latrepirdine (Dimebon) is a pro-neurogenic, antihistaminic compound that has yielded mixed results in clinical trials of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease, with a dramatically positive outcome in a Russian ...

Autophagy promotes T-cell survival through degradation of proteins of the cell death machinery
Autophagy is implicated in regulating cell death in activated T cells, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here, we show that inhibition of autophagy via Beclin 1 gene deletion in T cells leads to rampant...

miR-155 promotes macroscopic tumor formation yet inhibits tumor dissemination from mammary fat pads to the lung by preventing EMT
A micro-RNA, miR-155, is overexpressed in many types of cancer cells, including breast cancer, and its role(s) in tumor metastasis has been studied on a very limited basis. Tumor metastasis is a multi-step pro...

Identification of microRNA-target interaction in APRIL-knockdown colorectal cancer cells
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate mammalian gene expression by targeting mRNAs and have key roles in several cellular processes, including differentiation, development, apoptosis and cancer pathomechanisms. Our prev...

Epi-inositol regulates expression of the yeast INO1 gene encoding inositol-1-P synthase
Myo-inositol exerts behavioral effects in animal models of psychiatric disorders and is effective in clinical trials in psychiatric patients. Interestingly, epi-inositol exerts behavioral effects similar to myo-i...
