Macrophage activation and its role in repair and pathology after spinal cord injury
The injured spinal cord does not heal properly. In contrast, tissue repair and functional recovery occur after skin or muscle injuries. The reason for this dichotomy in wound repair is unclear but… Expand

Regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor-dependent retinal neovascularization by insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor
Although insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has been associated with retinopathy, proof of a direct relationship has been lacking. Here we show that an IGF-1 receptor antagonist suppresses retinal… Expand

SWI/SNF unwraps, slides, and rewraps the nucleosome.
The structure of the SWI/SNF-remodeled nucleosome was characterized with single base-pair resolution by mapping the contacts of specific histone fold residues with nucleosomal DNA. We demonstrate… Expand

Defensin expression by the cornea: multiple signalling pathways mediate IL-1beta stimulation of hBD-2 expression by human corneal epithelial cells.
PURPOSE To investigate the expression of human beta-defensins (hBDs) by human corneal epithelium and determine the effects of proinflammatory cytokines on expression of human beta-defensin (hBD)-2 by… Expand

Architecture of the SWI/SNF-Nucleosome Complex
ABSTRACT The SWI/SNF complex disrupts and mobilizes chromatin in an ATP-dependent manner. SWI/SNF interactions with nucleosomes were mapped by DNA footprinting and site-directed DNA and protein… Expand

An overview of biomarkers for the ovarian cancer diagnosis.
Even though there are a lot of options in treating gynecological malignancies, ovarian cancer still remains a leading cause of death. Diagnosis at an early stage is the most important determinant of… Expand

Ethnicity modifies the association between functional microRNA polymorphisms and breast cancer risk: a HuGE meta-analysis
Common functional polymorphisms in the promoter region of microRNAs (miRNAs), based on multiple lines of evidence, might participate in transcriptional regulation and other biological processes,… Expand

Exenatide elicits sustained glycaemic control and progressive reduction of body weight in patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled by sulphonylureas with or without metformin
In two placebo‐controlled 30‐week trials, treatment with exenatide reduced HbA1c and body weight in patients with type 2 diabetes in the context of sulphonylurea (SU) or SU plus metformin (MET) as… Expand

Autophagy-related proteins Beclin-1 and LC3 predict cetuximab efficacy in advanced colorectal cancer.
AIM To investigate the utility of Beclin-1 and LC3, two autophagy-related proteins, in predicting the cetuximab efficacy in advanced colorectal cancer (ACRC). METHODS The data of 85 patients with… Expand

PU.1/microRNA-142-3p targets ATG5/ATG16L1 to inactivate autophagy and sensitize hepatocellular carcinoma cells to sorafenib
Sorafenib is currently the only systemic agent approved for treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, intrinsic and acquired resistance to sorafenib remains a great challenge… Expand
