How Hippo Signaling Pathway Modulates Cardiovascular Development and Diseases by Wenyi Zhou, Mingyi Zhao

“…The canonical Hippo tumor suppressor pathway in mammalian cells is primarily composed of the MST1/2-SAV1-LATS1/2-MOB1-YAP/TAZ cascade. Continuing research on this pathway has identified other factors like RASSF1A, Nf2, MAP4Ks, and NDR1/2, further enriching our knowledge of the Hippo-YAP pathway. …”

Diffusion rate determines balance between extinction and proliferationin birth-death processes by Hilla Behar, Alexandra Agranovich, Yoram Louzoun

“…We here study spatially extended catalyst induced growth processes.This type of process exists in multiple domains of biology, rangingfrom ecology (nutrients and growth), through immunology (antigensand lymphocytes) to molecular biology (signaling molecules initiatingsignaling cascades). Such systems often exhibit an extinction-proliferationtransition, where varying some parameters can lead to either extinctionor survival of the reactants.…”

Periostin as a Biomarker of the Amniotic Membrane by Mariya P. Dobreva, Larissa Lhoest, Paulo N. G. Pereira, Lieve Umans, Susana M. Chuva de Sousa Lopes, An Zwijsen

“…We postulated that bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) target genes are putative amniotic membrane markers mainly because deficiency in one of several components of the BMP signaling cascade in mice has been documented to result in defective development of the early amnion. …”

Research on Multiobjective Optimization of Bulb Tubular Turbine Based on Orthogonal Test by Jie Sun, Ye Zhou, Xinfeng Ge, Jianguo Cai, Yang Han, Hui Zhang, Jinliang Wang, Lei Zhang, Dong Chen, Hongchang Hua, Li Li, Yuan Zheng

“…The results show that the optimal design scheme can be obtained when the number of guide vane is 16, the distance between the guide vane and the blade is 1995 mm, the hub ratio is 0.31, the relative twist angle of the blade is 27°, and the cascade density is 0.72. After optimization, the bulb tubular turbine’s efficiency and output are increased by 5.72% and 2.86% at a low flow rate, respectively. …”

The role of Box A of HMGB1 in producing γH2AX associated DNA breaks in lung cancer by Sirapat Settayanon, Pithi Chanvorachote, Apiwat Mutirangura

“…We transfected Box A plasmid into lung cancer cell lines to overexpress Box A and evaluated the expression levels of γH2AX foci and other DNA damage response (DDR) signaling cascade markers, including ATM, ATR, and p53. Then, we demonstrated the downstream effects of DSBs on lung cancer, lowering cell proliferation, decreasing cell migration, and promoting apoptosis. …”

SDF-1/CXCR4 Signaling Maintains Stemness Signature in Mouse Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells by Shih-Yin Ho, Thai-Yen Ling, Hsing-Yu Lin, Jeffrey Tsai-Jui Liou, Fei-Chih Liu, I-Chun Chen, Sue-Wei Lee, Yu Hsu, Dar-Ming Lai, Horng-Huei Liou

“…Moreover, Notch and RE1 silencing transcription factor (REST) both play an essential role in NSCs/NPCs maintenance and neuronal differentiation and were dramatically downregulated following SDF-1/CXCR4 cascade inhibition. Finally, we demonstrated that the expression of achaete-scute homolog 1 (Ascl1), a proneural gene, and p27, an antiproliferative gene, were significantly increased after genetic elimination of SDF-1 alleles. …”
