In summary, using the Nurr1 agonist AQ we first showed that Nurr1 plays an important role in the regulation of adult hippocampal neurogenesis. AQ may increase adult hippocampal neurogenesis via, in part, an up-regulated phosphorylation of Akt and ERK1/2. Moreover, the Nurr1 agonist enhances both sho

Introduction Neurotransmitters are critical for nervous system control of behaviors and physiological functions (Kandel et al., 2000; Holz and Fisher, 2012). The challenge in gaining insight into regulation of neurotransmitter secretion in human osthole disorders has been the lack of human neuronal

2018-10-20

The WNT signaling pathway is a primary determinant in assigning an A/P positional identity to NPCs. This instructional cue is imparted early during NPC generation and once this identity is established, it is stable and cannot be altered through exogenous manipulation of the WNT pathway. Using a WNT

Conclusions Whilst it is clear that RNA-binding proteins play crucial roles in regulating oogenesis, understanding the functions of these proteins relies on identifying the RNA targets they bind and regulate. Given the relative promiscuity of RNA-binding proteins, it seems likely that the fertili

2018-10-20

Heat shock proteins, as molecular chaperones, are involved in a variety of cellular functions. Apart from their commonly known roles in maintaining protein stability and mediating the assembly and disassembly of protein complexes, recent studies have shown that certain chaperones, including HSPA8, a

In summary, our results revealed that loss of Eva1a leads to impaired NSC self-renewal and differentiation, along with a decrease in autophagy, which is inversely associated with the activation of the PIK3CA/AKT-mTOR signaling. Functionally, EVA1A overexpression or MP treatment substantially rescued

Many SMs have been reported to facilitate reprogramming. For example, sodium butyrate (N, NaB), a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, greatly improved reprogramming efficiency by upregulating epigenetic remodeling and pluripotency-associated amyloid (Mali et al., 2010; Zhang and Wu, 2013).

Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of developmentally regulated genes showed that transcripts from bivalent genes were preferentially upregulated in Dicer-deficient ESCs, comparable with a set of Targetscan-predicted target genes of miR-290–295 (Figure 3B). Eight sets of developmental genes were us
