Myocyte Enhancer Factor 2C as a New Player in Human Breast Cancer Brain Metastases
Myocyte enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C) is increasingly expressed in mice along with breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM) development. We aim to ascertain MEF2C expression in human BCBM, establish the relationship with disease severity, disclose the ...

Murine leukemia virus (MLV) replication monitored with fluorescent proteins [PDF]
Background: Cancer gene therapy will benefit from vectors that are able to replicate in tumor tissue and cause a bystander effect. Replication-competent murine leukemia virus (MLV) has been described to have potential as cancer therapeutics, however, MLV

Antagonistic Autoantibodies to Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Receptor Associate with Poor Physical Strength [PDF]
Natural autoantibodies to the IGF1 receptor (IGF1R-aAb) have been described in relation to Graves' ophthalmopathy. Other physiological roles of natural IGF1R-aAb are not known. We hypothesized that IGF1R-aAb may be related to muscle development.

Molecular cloning and functional analysis of scavenger receptor zebrafish CL-P1
Scavenger receptors are generally expressed in macrophages and vascular endothelial cells and some scavenger receptors are thought to contribute to the development of atherosclerosis.We cloned the cDNA of a zebrafish CL-P1 (collectin placenta 1) and performed a knockdown study using its antisense morpholino oligonucleotides (MO).Zebrafish CL-P1 (zCL-P1)

Decreased Serum 5‐HT: Clinical Correlates and Regulatory Role in NMJ of MG
ABSTRACT Objective Although 5‐Hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) indirectly stimulates muscle contraction and participates in regulating Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) cluster homeostasis in cellular, animal, and clinical studies, evidence regarding its potential to modulate muscle contraction in myasthenia gravis (MG) remains limited.

Scavenger receptor CL-P1 mediates endocytosis by associating with AP-2μ2
Scavenger receptor CL-P1 (collectin placenta 1) has been found recently as a first membrane-type collectin which is mainly expressed in vascular endothelial cells. CL-P1 can endocytose OxLDL as well as microbes but in general, the endocytosis mechanism of a scavenger receptor is not well elucidated.We screened a placental cDNA library using a yeast two-

Meningovascular Inflammation in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy‐Related Cortical Superficial Siderosis
ABSTRACT The role of inflammation in cortical superficial siderosis (cSS), a marker of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) linked to high hemorrhage risk, is unclear. We examined 15 patients with cSS using 3 T post‐contrast vessel wall MRI (VWI) and CSF analysis.

Inflammatory Response as a Mechanism of Perinatal Programming: Long-term Impact on Pulmonary and Renal Function? [PDF]
RATIONALE: Temporal changes in the fetal environment, such as malnutrition and placental insufficiency induce intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and lead to a permanent changes of physiological processes later in life.

Micropatterned Biphasic Printed Electrodes for High‐Fidelity on‐Skin Bioelectronics
Micropatterned biphasic printed electrodes achieve unprecedented skin conformity and low impedance by combining liquid‐metal droplets with microstructured 3D lattices. This scalable approach enables high‐fidelity detection of ECG, EMG, and EEG signals, including alpha rhythms from the forehead, with long‐term comfort and stability.
