GTPase-activating SH3 domain-binding protein 2 (G3BP2) is a mediator that responds to environmental stresses through stress granule formation and is involved in the progression of chronic diseases. However, no studies have examined the contribution of …

This study employed traditional and advanced echocardiographic techniques to assess comprehensively age- and sex-related changes in cardiovascular structure and function in wildtype (WT) mice. Forty-five normal adult wildtype mice were apportioned to …

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Owing to the presence of blood–brain barrier (BBB), conventional pharmaceutical agents are difficult to the diseased nuclei and exert their action to inhibit or delay the …

High-grade gliomas (HGGs; WHO grades III and IV) are invariably lethal brain tumors. Low-dose hyper-radiosensitivity (HRS) of HGG is a well-established phenomenon in vitro. However, possibly linked to the unavailability of accurate animal models of the …

Objective: One driving factor in the progression to posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is the perpetu- ation of the inflammatory response to injury into chronic inflammation. Molecular imaging offers many opportunities to complement the sensitivity of …

Effects of hypertrophic challenge on small-conductance, Ca2+-activated K+ (SK2) channel expression were explored in intact murine hearts, isolated ventricular myocytes and neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs). An established experimental platform applied …

Here, acidic tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive nano-Bi2 Se3 @MnCaP, as a near-infrared-II (NIR-II) biowindow-triggered free radical generator for hypoxia-irrelevant phototherapy, is elaborately developed by biomimetic mineralization of MnCaP onto 2, …

Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor-f1 (PTPRZ1) is a transmembrane tyrosine phosphatase receptor highly expressed in em- bryonic stem cells. In the present work, gene expression analyses of Ptprz1?/? and Ptprz1þ / þ mice endothelial cells and hearts …

The histologically identifiable cellular struc- ture(s) involved in ultrasonic scattering is(are) yet to be uniquely identified. The study quantifies six possible cel- lular scattering parameters, namely, cell and nucleus radii and their respective cell …

Purpose: Accurate identification and assessment of sentinel lymph node (SLN) using noninvasive imag- ing methods can play a vital role in tumor staging, surgical planning, and prognostic evaluation. In this study, we assessed the efficacy of …
