Lauric Acid, a Dietary Saturated Medium-Chain Fatty Acid, Elicits Calcium-Dependent Eryptosis

215 views | Nov 29 2023

The study demonstrates that lauric acid induces eryptosis, a programmed cell death in red blood cells, and disrupts leukocyte distribution, providing key insights into its role in cardiovascular diseases and informing dietary interventions for prevention and management. [Read the Full Post]

The role of transforming growth factor-β2 in cigarette smoke-induced lung inflammation and injury

530 views | Apr 06 2023

The study found that TGF-β2 attenuated CSE-induced IL-8 production in PBECs and alleviated lung inflammation/injury in CS-exposed mice through the Smad3 signaling pathway. [Read the Full Post]

ARHGAP9 inhibits colorectal cancer cell proliferation, invasion and EMT via targeting PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway

746 views | Jun 10 2022

Jufeng Sun et al. thought that ARHGAP9 inhibited the malignant phenotypes of CRC cells via interdicting PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. [Read the Full Post]

Mutual regulation between chicken telomerase reverse transcriptase and the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway inhibits apoptosis and promotes the replication of ALV-J in LMH cells

671 views | Nov 21 2021

Yong Xiang et al. found that chTERT not only shortened the cell cycle to promote proliferation but also inhibited apoptosis by downregulating the expression of Caspase 3, Caspase 9 and BAX. [Read the Full Post]
