A substantial and persuasive body of data now exists that supports the view that integrin alpha V beta 3 plays a critical part in activated macrophage dependent inflammation, osteoclast development, migration, and bone resorption, and inflammatory angiogenesis. All of these processes play an important part in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and related arthropathies. Animal arthri...

Cortical lamination is crucial for the assembly of cerebellar circuitry. In this process, granule neurons (GNs) migrate along Bergmann glia (BG), which are specialized astroglial cells, from the external granule layer to the internal granule layer. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying BG development are not well understood. Here, we show that GFAP::Cre;Erbb3 mice, which lack Erbb3 in bo...

Age-gender normal values of native and postcontrast myocardial T1 relaxation times (lambda) on 1.5T and 3T using MOLLI: a multicenter, single vendor cardiovascular magnetic resonance study Darius Dabir, Nicholas Child, Ashwin Kalra, Islam Z Mahmoud, Toby Rogers, Rolf Gebker, Ananth Kidambi, Sven Plein, Andrew Jabbour, David M Higgins, Bernhard Schnackenburg, Tobias Schaeffter, Eike Nagel, Valen...

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), one of the most common causes of cancer-related death, is a worldwide public health problem. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been identified as a novel class of regulators of carcinogenesis and tumor progression, including miRNAs associated with NSCLC. This study aimed to explore the role of miR-522 in NSCLC and the mechanisms underlying this role. We report...

Shape oen has a decisive inuence over the properties and applications of monodisperse nanoparticles. In addition, size is another important factor controlling the properties of the nanomaterials owing to various connement effects. Therefore, the synthesis of diverse, high-quality nanoparticles with tunable shapes and sizes has become a challenging issue and drawn considerable attention. Morp...
