The correlation between poor prognosis and increased yes-associated protein 1 expression in keratin 19 expressing hepatocellular carcinomas and cholangiocarcinomas

BMC Cancer, 2017
Background The Hippo pathway plays a vital role in liver regeneration and development by determining cellular lineage and regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis.

Bite force estimates and morphological correlations of jaw muscles in parrots

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Parrots (Order: Psittaciformes) are renowned for their high bite force (BF) and morphological correlates thereof, including a highly mobile skull and two unique mandibular adductor muscles—m. pseudomasseter and m. ethmomandibularis, with the former being hypothesized to increase force output.

Voiding symptoms aggravate with decreasing stromal/epithelial ratio and increasing glandular-epithelial content in patients undergoing laser enucleation for benign prostatic hyperplasia, independently from prostate size.

PLoS ONE
IntroductionBenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) includes epithelial, stromal and mixed hyperplasia, but their specific contributions to voiding symptoms and prostate volume (PV) are unknown.

Cellular expansion of hepatocellular carcinoma organoids using decellularized liver scaffolds

Clinical Transplantation and Research
Background : A decellularized liver scaffold (DLS) is a three-dimensional acellular extracellular matrix created by removing cellular components from liver tissue. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) organoids represent a useful experimental model.

Sheep Horn Development Revealed by Multi‐Tissue and Cross‐Species Transcriptomic Analysis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Multi‐tissue and cross‐species transcriptomics with allele‐specific expression show sheep horns are a composite organ integrating epidermal and osteogenic programs. Conserved horn gene modules and cis‐regulatory variation fine‐tune expression networks underlying horn development and size (small scurs vs. large spiral horns).

Age and the means of bypassing stasis are determinants of the intrinsic subtypes of immortalized human mammary epithelial cells

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2015
Based on molecular features, breast cancers are grouped into intrinsic subtypes that have different prognoses and therapeutic response profiles. With increasing age, breast cancer incidence increases, with hormone receptor-positive and other luminal-like

Synergistic Effects of Cosolvents on the Dissolution of Wool Keratin Using Ionic Liquids

, 2016
Keratin, regenerated from wool fibers, is widely used in the textile and medicine fields. In this work, a series of synthesized 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids (IL) were used to dissolve wool keratin.

Transfersomes with core and surface‐loaded NF‐κB p65 siRNA for enhanced transdermal transfection and effective treatment of psoriasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
TCPL, a transfersome with Tween 80 and PEI, enables efficient transdermal siNF‐κB delivery, resolving PEI's toxicity issue. It promotes lysosomal escape and effective transfection, silences NF‐κB, modulates immunity, and inhibits angiogenesis, alleviating psoriasis. With good biocompatibility, TCPL holds strong clinical translation potential. Schematic
