Brain organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells provide a highly valuable in vitro
model to recapitulate human brain development and neurological diseases. However, the …

Matrigel, a mouse tumor extracellular matrix protein mixture, is an indispensable component
of most organoid tissue culture. However, it has limited the utility of organoids for drug …

To identify common genetic variants that contribute to lung cancer susceptibility, we conducted
a multistage genome-wide association study of lung cancer in Asian women who never …

The neurovascular unit, which consists of vascular cells surrounded by astrocytic end-feet
and neurons, controls cerebral blood flow and the permeability of the blood–brain barrier (BBB…

Telomeres play a key role in the maintenance of chromosome integrity and stability. There is
growing evidence that short telomeres induce chromosome instability and thereby promote …

The application of transgenic plants to clean up environmental pollution caused by the
wastes of heavy metal mining is a promising method for removing metal pollutants from soils. …

Background: Studies of related individuals have consistently demonstrated notable familial
aggregation of cancer. We aim to estimate the heritability and genetic correlation attributable …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical
stimulation in patients with dysphagia caused by stroke. METHODS: Thirty-six subjects …

Genetic engineering of plants for phytoremediation is thought to be possible based on results
using model plants expressing genes involved in heavy metal resistance, which improve …

RIG ‐I is a key cytosolic sensor that detects RNA viruses through its C‐terminal region and
activates the production of antiviral interferons ( IFN s) and proinflammatory cytokines. While …
