  • FBL promotes hepatocellular carcinoma tumorigenesis and progression by recruiting YY1 to enhance CAD gene expression

    FBL promotes hepatocellular carcinoma tumorigenesis and progression by recruiting YY1 to enhance CAD gene expression

    FBL is upregulated in HCC and is associated with poor survival

    To investigate the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with epigenetic factors, we analyzed HCC-related data from the TCGA database (https://www.firebroese.org, TCGA-LIHC…

  • Mandible-derived extracellular vesicles regulate early tooth development in miniature swine via targeting KDM2B

    Mandible-derived extracellular vesicles regulate early tooth development in miniature swine via targeting KDM2B

    Extracellular vesicle isolation and characterization

    The mandible and tooth germ tissues were isolated from miniature pigs at E40. The mandible tissue from 40 days embryonic development miniature pig is about 2 cm. After 1 day of adaptive…

  • The Hidden Code That Turns Corn Snakes Into Living Works of Art

    The Hidden Code That Turns Corn Snakes Into Living Works of Art

    Scientists found that a single gene controls striking corn snake patterns like stripes and blotches. While essential for brain function in mammals, in snakes, its mutation uniquely alters skin color without affecting behavior. In many animals,…

  • Big Brains, Big Problem? Study Links Bird Intelligence to Climate Change Risk

    Big Brains, Big Problem? Study Links Bird Intelligence to Climate Change Risk

    Some birds with large ranges or big brains may be more vulnerable to climate change than expected due to their specialization in narrow climate niches, according to a new UT Austin study. Biologists have long sought to understand why certain…

  • Distinct subtypes of senescent skin cells identified

    Distinct subtypes of senescent skin cells identified

    Senescent skin cells, often referred to as zombie cells because they have outlived their usefulness without ever quite dying, have existed in the human body as a seeming paradox, causing inflammation and promoting diseases while…

  • Less intensive farming works best for agricultural soil

    Less intensive farming works best for agricultural soil

    The less intensively you manage the soil, the better the soil can function. Such as not ploughing as often or using more grass-clover mixtures as cover crops. These are the conclusions from a research team led by the Netherlands Institute of…
