Open AccessActivation of GPER1 in macrophages ameliorates UUO-induced renal fibrosis
Numerous studies have proven the critical role of macrophages in the renal fibrosis process. Notably, G Protein-coupled Estrogen Receptor 1 (GPER1), a novel estrogen receptor, has been shown to play a ubiquito...

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Review novel insights into the diagnostic and prognostic function of copeptin in daily clinical practice
As is shown in previous reports, arginine vasopressin (AVP), as one of the most important hormones within circulation in human beings, is of great clinically significance given that it could maintain the body ...

Open AccessAccumulation of formaldehyde causes motor deficits in an in vivo model of hindlimb unloading
During duration spaceflight, or after their return to earth, astronauts have often suffered from gait instability and cerebellar ataxia. Here, we use a mouse model of hindlimb unloading (HU) to explore a mecha...

Universal vectors for constructing artificial microRNAs in plants
Universal amiRNA vectors (pUAs) for constructing plant amiRNAs in Arabidopsis and rice have been developed. By using type IIg restriction enzyme, BaeI, a single amiRNA construct can be produced using only one PCR...

Characterization of a Novel NBS-LRR Gene Involved in Bacterial Blight Resistance in Rice
Nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) genes play important roles in plant disease resistance. Due to its similarity to Rp1 in maize (Zea mays), a novel NB-LRR gene was isolated from rice and design...

Two-step method for constructing Arabidopsis artificial microRNA vectors
Artificial microRNA (amiRNA) technology is used for gene silencing in Arabidopsis. We describe a method for constructing amiRNA vectors that requires only one PCR and one ligation reaction. Vectors produced by th...

Sequence analysis of a soilborne wheat mosaic virus isolate from Italy shows that it is the same virus asEuropean wheat mosaic virus andSoilborne rye mosaic virus
The complete sequence of the two RNAs of a furovirus isolate from durum wheat in Italy was determined. Sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis were done to compare the Italian virus withSoilborne wheat mos...
