Ontogeny of RSPO1, FOXL2, and RUNX1 during ovarian differentiation in the marsupial tammar wallaby
Abstract Background RSPO1 and FOXL2 are female sex‐determining genes involved in the differentiation and organization of the ovary in some eutherian mammals. Mutations or loss of function of these genes are associated with partial to full sex reversal in mice, humans, and goats.

Transcription networks in liver development and acute liver failure
Acute liver failure (ALF) is a medical emergency due to massive hepatocyte loss. In such a harsh condition, maintaining transcriptional regulation in the remaining hepatocytes while activating similar transcription factor networks in liver progenitor ...

Pyropia yezoensis Protein Prevents Dexamethasone-Induced Myotube Atrophy in C2C12 Myotubes
Glucocorticoids (GCs), which are endocrine hormones released under stress conditions, can cause skeletal muscle atrophy. This study investigated whether Pyropia yezoensis crude protein (PYCP) inhibits synthetic GCs dexamethasone (DEX)-induced myotube ...

Y-box binding protein 1 stabilizes EP300 mRNA and promotes forkhead box C1 H3K27Ac to aggravate chondrocyte injury in osteoarthritis. [PDF]
In this study, YBX1 binds to EP300 mRNA and enhances its stability and expression. Subsequently, EP300 binds to the FOXC1 promoter and promotes the enrichment of H3K27Ac at the FOXC1 promoter to elevate FOXC1 expression, ultimately regulating IL‐1β‐induced chondrocyte damage and promoting the progression of osteoarthritis.

Uric Acid‐Lowering and Anti‐Hyperuricemia Effects of Plant‐Based Nutraceuticals and Foods: A Review
Increased UA production and/or decreased UA secretion cause hyperuricemia. Effects and mechanism of flavonoids in reducing UA are summarized. Terpenoids, saponins, alkaloids, vitamin C, polysaccharides, peptides are effective. Plant‐based foods with UA‐lowering ability are reviewed.

Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex noncommunicable condition characterized by central obesity, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia. Epidemiological evidence shows that MetS affects a third of the global population; however, due to its complex pathogenesis and limited drug therapy options, the increasing ...

Somatic cell reprogramming for Parkinson's disease treatment
The fundamental purpose of cell reprogramming to treat Parkinson's disease is to generate dopaminergic neurons (DAN) and do transplantation. There are two ways to accomplish this. One method is to induce cells into induced DA neurons (iDAN) directly or to induce cells into induced pluripotent stem cells and ultimately into iDAN in vitro. Another option

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...
