The metabolite 2-methoxyestradiol (2ME) is an endogenous estrogen metabolite with potential therapeutic properties in reproductive cancers. However, the molecular mechanisms by which 2ME exerts its anticancer activity are not well elucidated. The pur...
The estrogen metabolite 2-methoxyestradiol (2ME) is a promissory anticancer drug mainly because of its pro-apoptotic properties in cancer cells. However, the therapeutic use of 2ME has been hampered due to its low solubility and bioavailability. Thus...
Background/Objectives: The optimal healing process following root canal treatment involves biological apical sealing through new cementum formation. Bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7) has recently gained attention as a potential regulator of cement...
Reparative dentin formation is a defensive response that restores a mineralized barrier to protect the dental pulp following various stimuli, such as bacterial invasion, tooth preparation, or restorative materials. However, reparative dentin is limit...
Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins play crucial roles in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation. We identified homologous genes encoding ECM proteins that are known to associate with integrins in animal cells in red macroalga Neopy...
Buds are continuously renewed sensory organs in which development, adult maintenance, and repair share overlapping molecular circuitry. During embryogenesis, WNT/β-catenin signaling promotes taste placode formation and placodal Shh expression, w...
Inhibiting tumor angiogenesis is a well-established approach for anticancer therapeutic development. A Disintegrin-like and Metalloproteinase with ThromboSpondin Motifs 5 (ADAMTS5) is a secreted matrix metalloproteinase in the ADAMTS family that also...
Computational clearing (CC) enhances widefield (WF) fluorescence microscopy by suppressing out-of-focus haze and autofluorescence, yielding semi-confocal quality images suitable for segmentation and image-based phenotyping. Here, we propose an &ldquo...
