Abstract Study question Does cryopreservation impact on transcriptome of conventional frozen human spermatozoa? Summary answer The sperm alters pathways important for fertility, although the upregulation some genes can compensate harmful effects freezing. What is known already Sperm a widely used procedure storing gametes later use, preserving fertility in patients before gonadotoxic treatments...

Sox (SRY-related high-mobility-group (HMG)-box) transcription factors, which are comprised of 20 genes containing a conserved HMG DNA-binding domain, are divided into 8 groups (from A to H) according to structural homologies [reviewed in 1-2]. SoxC group, which is composed of Sox4, Sox11, and Sox12, has a HMG box domain and a transactivation domain and plays important roles in the development o...

Objective. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and carotid artery plaques have an increased risk of acute coronary syndromes. Statin treatment with the goal of achieving a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level of £1.8 mmoles/liter (£70 mg/dl) is recommended for individuals in the general population who have carotid plaques. The aim of the ROsuvastatin in Rheumatoid Arthritis, Anky...

To the Editor: The article by Masaki K. et al. suggested that Ror2 expression in oral cancer was significantly higher than that in the normal oral mucosa. In their experiments, the normal tissue segments were from healthy volunteers. And in the Western blot figure, the 3 cases were not shown which region the tumor specimens were from. The normal tissue and the tumor specimens were from differen...

Non-canonical WNT and planar cell polarity (PCP) are overlapping but distinct signaling pathways, which control convergent extension, neural tube closure, orientation of cilia and sensory hair cells, axon guidance, and cell motility. Non-canonical WNT signals, regulated by the interaction of WNT, WNT antagonist, Frizzled and ROR2, are transduced to JNK, ROCK, PKC, MAP3K7, and NFAT signaling cas...

for nearly 2,500 years, mood disorders have been described as one of the most common illnesses of mankind, but only recently have they commanded major public health interest. the world health organization (who) has ranked depression fourth in a list of the most urgent health problems worldwide. bipolar disorder (bd), as a mood disorder, is common, and is among the most important, serious, and o...
