MiR-33a Controls hMSCS Osteoblast Commitment Modulating the Yap/Taz Expression Through EGFR Signaling Regulation [PDF]
Mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) display a pleiotropic function in bone regeneration. The signaling involved in osteoblast commitment is still not completely understood, and that determines the failure of current therapies being used.

Blocking CD248 molecules in perivascular stromal cells of patients with systemic sclerosis strongly inhibits their differentiation toward myofibroblasts and proliferation: A new potential target for antifibrotic therapy [PDF]
Background: Fibrosis may be considered the hallmark of systemic sclerosis (SSc), the end stage triggered by different pathological events. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) are profibrotic molecules ...

M gene targeted qRT-PCR approach for SARS-CoV-2 virus detection
Quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) is the gold standard method for SARS-CoV-2 detection, and several qRT-PCR kits have been established targeting different genes of the virus.

Development of a qRT - PCR Diagnostic Kit for the Detection of FCoV
BACKGROUND/AIMS: In recent years, feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), which led to the death of more than 3,000 cats on the island of Cyprus, has become a significant concern. FIP is a fatal disease in cats caused by feline coronavirus (FCoV).

Experimental assessment of robust reference genes for qRT-PCR in lung cancer studies
Stable internal reference genes are crucial for quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analyses in lung cancer studies. Widely used reference genes are mostly chosen by intuition or from pan-cancer transcriptome data and lack experimental validation by qRT-

Stromal upregulation of lateral epithelial adhesions: gene expression analysis of signalling pathways in prostate epithelium [PDF]
Background: Stromal signalling increases the lateral cell adhesions of prostate epithelial cells grown in 3D culture. The aim of this study was to use microarray analysis to identify significant epithelial signalling pathways and genes in this process ...
