Developmental toxicity of embryonic 1-naphthol exposure in zebrafish
Objective To investigate the toxic effects of embryonic exposure to 1-naphthol (1-NAP) on zebrafish development and explore the possible mechanism. Methods Fertilized zebrafish eggs were exposed to 1-NAP at the concentrations of 40, 80, 160 and 200 μmol ...

Expression and cell transformation activity of dynactin‐associated protein isoforms
Overexpression of human dynactin‐associated protein isoform a (dynAPa) transforms NIH3T3 cells. DynAPa is a single‐pass transmembrane protein with a carboxy‐terminal region exposed to the outside of cells. According to the NCBI RefSeq database, there may

Establishment of human embryonic stem cell WAe009-A-48 carrying a long QT syndrome mutation in SCN5A
The long QT syndrome type 3 (LQT3) is currently the 3rd most prevalent of the 15 known types of LQT syndrome. Cardiac events in LQT3 are less frequent than LQT1 and LQT2, but more likely to be fatal.

A review of protocols for engineering human cardiac organoids
The use of human cardiac organoids (hCOs) as 3D in vitro models for cardiovascular research has shown great promise. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have proven to be a potent source for engineering hCOs.

In-vitro demonstration of cell-mediated immunity to vaccinia virus in man [PDF]
Cell mediated immunity to vaccinia virus in man was studied by lymphocyte transformation. Vaccinia antigen, propagated on BHK-21 and Vero cells, could be used successfully for in-vitro testing after partial purification as well as crude infectious ...

Establishment of human embryonic stem cell WAe009-A-74 carrying a Long QT syndrome mutation in KCNH2
Long-QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2) is a common malignant hereditary arrhythmia. Due to the lack of suitable animal and human models, the pathogenesis of LQT2 caused by human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) deficiency is still unclear.
