Regulation of Opioid Tolerance by let-7 Family MicroRNA Targeting the μ Opioid Receptor
- Y. He, Cheng Yang, Chelsea M Kirkmire, Z. Wang
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Neuroscience
- 28 July 2010
MicroRNA has emerged as a critical regulator of neuronal functions. This study aimed to test whether let-7 microRNAs can regulate the μ opioid receptor (MOR) and opioid tolerance. Employing… Expand
Ca2+/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase IIα Is Required for the Initiation and Maintenance of Opioid-Induced Hyperalgesia
- Y. Chen, Cheng Yang, Z. Wang
- Chemistry, Medicine
- The Journal of Neuroscience
- 6 January 2010
Repeated administration of opioids not only leads to tolerance and dependence, but also results in nociceptive enhancement called opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). Nociceptive mediators involved in… Expand
The contributions of phonology, orthography, and morphology in Chinese–English biliteracy acquisition
- Min Wang, Cheng Yang, Chenxi Cheng
- Psychology
- 1 April 2009
This study investigated the concurrent contributions of phonology, orthography, and morphology to biliteracy acquisition in 78 Grade 1 Chinese–English bilingual children. Conceptually comparable… Expand
Acellular spinal cord scaffold seeded with bone marrow stromal cells protects tissue and promotes functional recovery in spinal cord‐injured rats
- Jian Chen, Zhongmin Zhang, +10 authors D. Jin
- Medicine
- Journal of neuroscience research
- 1 March 2014
Therapy using scaffolds seeded with stem cells plays an important role in repair of spinal cord injury (SCI), with the transplanted cells differentiating into nerve cells to replace the lost tissue… Expand
Craving Responses to Methamphetamine and Sexual Visual Cues in Individuals With Methamphetamine Use Disorder After Long-Term Drug Rehabilitation

- 1 February 2014
Previous investigations have found that ebselen is able to treat neurodegenerative diseases caused by radical and acute total cerebral ischaemia. The aim of the present study was to investigate the… Expand
Demyelination Initiated by Oligodendrocyte Apoptosis through Enhancing Endoplasmic Reticulum–Mitochondria Interactions and Id2 Expression after Compressed Spinal Cord Injury in Rats
- S. Huang, Cheng-lin Tang, +9 authors W. Qi
- Biology, Medicine
- CNS neuroscience & therapeutics
- 1 January 2014
Demyelination is one of the most important pathological factors of spinal cord injury. Oligodendrocyte apoptosis is involved in triggering demyelination. However, fewer reports on pathological… Expand
