Kainic acid-mediated excitotoxicity as a model for neurodegeneration
- Q. Wang, Sue Yu, A. Simonyi, G. Sun, A. Sun
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular Neurobiology
- 2007
Neuronal excitation involving the excitatory glutamate receptors is recognized as an important underlying mechanism in neurodegenerative disorders. Excitation resulting from stimulation of the… Expand
Activation of Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 Inhibits Long-Term Potentiation with Synapse-Associated Impairments
- L. Zhu, Shao-hui Wang, +6 authors J. Wang
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Neuroscience
- 7 November 2007
Activation of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) can cause memory deficits as seen in Alzheimer's disease, the most common age-associated dementia, but the mechanism is not understood. Here, we found… Expand
Exome sequencing of hepatitis B virus–associated hepatocellular carcinoma
- J. Huang, Qing hua Deng, +14 authors Ze-Guang Han
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 1 October 2012
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide and shows a propensity to metastasize and infiltrate adjacent and more distant tissues. HCC is associated with multiple risk… Expand
Global levels of histone modifications predict prognosis in different cancers.
- D. Seligson, S. Horvath, +7 authors S. Kurdistani
- Biology, Medicine
- The American journal of pathology
- 1 May 2009
Cancer cells exhibit alterations in histone modification patterns at individual genes and globally at the level of single nuclei in individual cells. We demonstrated previously that lower… Expand
Overactivation of glycogen synthase kinase‐3 by inhibition of phosphoinositol‐3 kinase and protein kinase C leads to hyperphosphorylation of tau and impairment of spatial memory
- S. Liu, A. H. Zhang, +5 authors J. Wang
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of neurochemistry
- 1 December 2003
Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) consisting of the hyperphosphorylated microtubule‐associated protein tau are a defining pathological characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Hyperphosphorylation of… Expand
A bacterial carbohydrate links innate and adaptive responses through Toll-like receptor 2

- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of experimental medicine
- 25 December 2006
Commensalism is critical to a healthy Th1/Th2 cell balance. Polysaccharide A (PSA), which is produced by the intestinal commensal Bacteroides fragilis, activates CD4+ T cells, resulting in a Th1… Expand
Resveratrol as a Therapeutic Agent for Neurodegenerative Diseases

Excess production of reactive oxygen species in the brain has been implicated as a common underlying risk factor for the pathogenesis of a number of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's… Expand
Gefitinib versus vinorelbine plus cisplatin as adjuvant treatment for stage II-IIIA (N1-N2) EGFR-mutant NSCLC (ADJUVANT/CTONG1104): a randomised, open-label, phase 3 study.
BACKGROUND
Cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy is the standard of care for patients with resected stage II-IIIA non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). RADIANT and SELECT trial data suggest patients… Expand
Polysaccharide Processing and Presentation by the MHCII Pathway

- 28 May 2004
The adaptive immune system functions through the combined action of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and T cells. Specifically, class I major histocompatibility complex antigen presentation to CD8(+)… Expand
Integrative genomics identifies distinct molecular classes of neuroblastoma and shows that multiple genes are targeted by regional alterations in DNA copy number.
Neuroblastoma is remarkable for its clinical heterogeneity and is characterized by genomic alterations that are strongly correlated with tumor behavior. The specific genes that influence… Expand
