Long non-coding RNA FOXO1 inhibits lung cancer cell growth through down-regulating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway
Objective(s): Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, which seriously threatens the health and life of the people. Recently, a novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) termed lncFOXO1 was found and investigated in breast cancer. However, the effect of lncFOXO1 on lung cancer is still ambiguous. The current study aimed to uncover the functions of lncFOXO1 in l...
متن کاملSmart Biomaterials, Smarter Medicine?
“End of fillings in sight”was The Telegraph's headline in a recent article reporting the promotion of natural tooth repair from a team at King's College London (UK). The study found thatwhen a biodegradable collagen sponge soaked in the drug tideglusib (a glycogen synthase kinase-3 inhibitor) was implanted into a tooth cavity, it mobilized resident stem cells in the dental pulp to stimulate the...
متن کاملEngineering responsive supramolecular biomaterials: Toward smart therapeutics
Engineering materials using supramolecular principles enables generalizable and modular platforms that have tunable chemical, mechanical, and biological properties. Applying this bottom-up, molecular engineering-based approach to therapeutic design affords unmatched control of emergent properties and functionalities. In preparing responsive materials for biomedical applications, the dynamic cha...
متن کاملDesigning Smart Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering
The engineering of human tissues to cure diseases is an interdisciplinary and a very attractive field of research both in academia and the biotechnology industrial sector. Three-dimensional (3D) biomaterial scaffolds can play a critical role in the development of new tissue morphogenesis via interacting with human cells. Although simple polymeric biomaterials can provide mechanical and physical...
متن کاملSignaling hierarchy regulating human endothelial cell development.
OBJECTIVE Our present knowledge of the regulation of mammalian endothelial cell differentiation has been largely derived from studies of mouse embryonic development. However, unique mechanisms and hierarchy of signals that govern human endothelial cell development are unknown and, thus, explored in these studies. METHODS AND RESULTS Using human embryonic stem cells as a model system, we were ...
