Semaphorin3A, Neuropilin-1, and PlexinA1 Are Required for Lymphatic Valve Formation [PDF]
Rationale: The lymphatic vasculature plays a major role in fluid homeostasis, absorption of dietary lipids, and immune surveillance. Fluid transport depends on the presence of intraluminal valves within lymphatic collectors.

Semaphorin3A induces nerve regeneration in the adult cornea-a switch from its repulsive role in development. [PDF]
The peripheral sensory nerves that innervate the cornea can be easily damaged by trauma, surgery, infection or diabetes. Several growth factors and axon guidance molecules, such as Semaphorin3A (Sema3A) are upregulated upon cornea injury.

The immunoexpression of the antiangiogenic factor semaphorin3A (SEMA3A) was evaluated in a series of meningiomas. Then, its correlations with the microvessel density (MVD) of the tumors and with the clinicopathological parameters as well with the survival time or recurrence-free interval were investigated.

The Guidance Molecule Semaphorin3A is Differentially Involved in the Arealization of the Mouse and Primate Neocortex [PDF]
The visual cortex is organized into discrete domains characterized by their specific function, connectivity, chemoarchitecture, and cytoarchitecture. Gradients of transcription factors across the anteroposterior and mediolateral axes of the neocortex have previously been demonstrated to specify the main sensory regions. However, they do not account for

Low Urine Secretion of Semaphorin3A In Lupus Patients With Proteinuria [PDF]
Abstract Background: Immune semaphorins are important players in controlling both innate and adaptive immune responses. The regulatory role of semaphorin3A (sema3A) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other autoimmune diseases is widely reported.

Regulation of Semaphorin3A in the process of cutaneous wound healing
AbstractSemaphorin 3A (Sema3A) has been recognized as a crucial regulator of morphogenesis and homeostasis over a wide range of organ systems. However, its function in cutaneous wound healing is poorly understood. In our study, we demonstrated that Sema3A adenovirus plasmids transfection limited keratinocyte proliferation and decreased migrative ...

Injectable decellularized nucleus pulposus tissue exhibits neuroinhibitory properties
A whole porcine nucleus pulposus decellularization method was optimized. The decellularized tissue was used to create a thermally forming gel that maintained nucleus pulposus cell viability and inhibited dorsal root ganglion neurite growth. Abstract Background Chronic low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of disability, but treatments for LBP are ...

Nrp1 is Activated by Konjac Ceramide Binding-Induced Structural Rigidification of the a1a2 Domain
Konjac ceramide (kCer) is a plant-type ceramide composed of various long-chain bases and α-hydroxyl fatty acids. The presence of d4t,8t-sphingadienine is essential for semaphorin 3A (Sema3A)-like activity. Herein, we examined the three neuropilin 1 (

Negative Regulation of Semaphorin-3A Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Using MicroRNA-497-5p [PDF]
Background: Semaphorin-3A (Sema3A), as a secreted semaphorin, is an immune modulator molecule participating in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) modulate the target-gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.
