In healthy vascular endothelium, nitric oxide acts as a vasodilator paracrine mediator on adjacent smooth muscle cells. By activating soluble guanylyl cyclase, nitric oxide stimulates cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) which causes relaxation of ...

Neurogenesis plays an important role in the prognosis of stroke patients and is known to be promoted by the activation of the Notch1 signaling pathway. Studies on the airway epithelium have shown that miR-449b represses the Notch pathway. The study aimed

VGLL4 is a new component of the Hippo pathway and bind TEADs to compete with YAP, so as to inhibit tumor progression, but its role in stem cell and organ regeneration remains unclear. Using the PiggyBac transposon system, we generated a VGLL4 doxycycline-

Eukaryotic cells require sufficient oxygen (O2) for biological activity and survival. When the oxygen demand exceeds its supply, the oxygen levels in local tissues or the whole body decrease (termed hypoxia), leading to a metabolic crisis, threatening physiological functions and viability.

Experimental Models of Sarcopenia: Bridging Molecular Mechanism and Therapeutic Strategy
Sarcopenia has been defined as a progressive decline of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and functions in elderly people. It is accompanied by physical frailty, functional disability, falls, hospitalization, and mortality, and is becoming a major ...

Controls of Nuclear Factor-Kappa B Signaling Activity by 5’-AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Activation With Examples in Human Bladder Cancer Cells [PDF]
Generally, both lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- and hypoxia-induced nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) effects are alleviated through differential posttranslational modification of NF-κB phosphorylation after pretreatment with 5´-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)

Several publications and random observations have reported weight loss in high-altitude sojourners of both sexes. This could be a result of multiple adaptations, which hypoxia and mountaineering provoke on a cellular and organic level.

The role of hypoxia in cancer progression, angiogenesis, metastasis, and resistance to therapy
Hypoxia is a non-physiological level of oxygen tension, a phenomenon common in a majority of malignant tumors. Tumor-hypoxia leads to advanced but dysfunctional vascularization and acquisition of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition phenotype resulting ...

Hypoxia and Inflammation: Insights From High-Altitude Physiology
The key regulators of the transcriptional response to hypoxia and inflammation (hypoxia inducible factor, HIF, and nuclear factor-kappa B, NF-κB, respectively) are evolutionarily conserved and share significant crosstalk. Tissues often experience hypoxia

Hypoxia Signaling Pathway in Stem Cell Regulation: Good and Evil [PDF]
Purpose of Review: This review summarizes the role of hypoxia and hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) in the regulation of stem cell biology, specifically focusing on maintenance, differentiation, and stress responses in the context of several stem cell ...
