Etoricoxib–NLC Mitigates Radiation-Induced Ovarian Damage in Rats: Insights into Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines, Antioxidant Activity, and Hormonal Responses by Sahar Khateeb

“…This study examines the therapeutic potential of etoricoxib nanostructured lipid carriers (ETO-NLC) in mitigating radiation-induced ovarian damage in female <i>Wistar</i> rats. Twenty-four female rats were randomly assigned to four groups: a control group receiving normal saline, a group exposed to a single dose of whole-body gamma radiation (6 Gy), a group treated with etoricoxib (10 mg/kg) post-radiation, and a group treated with ETO-NLC for 14 days following radiation. …”

Pax6 regulates neuronal migration and cell proliferation via interacting with Wnt3a during cortical development by Bichao Zhang, Meihua Hou, Jiayan Huang, Yunfei Liu, Ciqing Yang, Juntang Lin

“…We postulated that the alteration of Pax6 isoform ratio by autoregulation might be responsible for this. JASPAR analysis together with the results of qPCR, Western blot, CUT&Tag, and rescue experiments revealed that Pax6 regulates neuronal migration and cell proliferation by indirectly mediating Wnt3a expression. …”
