Two epithelial tumor cell lines were established from biopsy specimens of nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPC). The specimens were taken from poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinomas of the… (More)
Past studies have shown that amplified insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1)/IGF1 receptor (IGF1-R) signalling has an important role in colorectal cancer (CRC) development, progression and resistance… (More)
Nucleolar shuttle protein B23 was found to bind to human immunodeficiency virus protein Tat, and this binding required the nucleolar localization motif of Tat. A fusion protein containing the B23… (More)
Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) regulates the transcription of a variety of genes involved in immune responses, cell growth, and cell death. However, the role of NF-kappaB in muscle biology is… (More)
Solamargine, an herbal and molluscicidal medicine derived from Solanum incanum, is a steroidal alkaloid glycoside. To characterize the anticancer mechanism of solamargine on human hepatoma cells… (More)
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is the causative agent of infectious bursal disease in chickens and causes a significant economic loss for the poultry industry. Little is understood about the… (More)
A growing body of literature indicates that cytokines regulate skeletal muscle function, including gene expression and adaptive responses. Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is the cytokine… (More)
Two epithelial tumor cell lines were established from biopsy specimens of 2 nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPC) and designated HNE-1 and HONE-1. Uncloned HNE-1 cells were found to be Epstein-Barr virus… (More)
BACKGROUND
Varied clinical outcomes of assisted hatching (AH) have been reported. We attempt to investigate whether the size of the zona opening created by AH is adequate for blastocyst hatching,… (More)
