Remote Sensing of Endogenous Pigmentation by Inducible Synthetic Circuits in Grasses
ABSTRACT Plant synthetic biology holds great promise for engineering plants to meet future demands. Genetic circuits are being designed, built and tested in plants to demonstrate the proof of concept. However, developing these components in monocots, which the world relies on for grain, lags behind dicot models, such as Arabidopsis thaliana and ...

Analgesic effects of platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF): A systematic review
Abstract Background Platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF), a second‐generation autologous platelet concentrate, has gained significant interest for its anti‐inflammatory and regenerative characteristics. While its role in tissue healing is well‐recognized, the analgesic potential of PRF remains under‐investigated.

ABSTRACT Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is widely used for early esophageal cancer, even in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC). Corticosteroids, administered orally or by local injection, are often used to prevent post‐ESD esophageal stricture. However, their safety in patients with decompensated LC and refractory ascites remains unclear. A man

Inhibition of glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis by targeting splice variants of \u3ci\u3eBIM\u3c/i\u3e mRNA with small interfering RNA and short hairpin RNA. [PDF]
Glucocorticoids (GCs) induce apoptosis in lymphocytes and are effective agents for the treatment of leukemia. The activated glucocorticoid receptor (GR) initiates a transcriptional program leading to caspase activation and cell death, but the critical ...
