    Cell tropism of adeno-associated viruses within the mouse inner ear in vivo: from embryonic to adult stages

    Cell tropism of AAV vectors in the embryonic inner ear

    Injections were performed between days 13 and 15 of embryonic development (E13 to E15). The viral preparation (1 µL) was injected directly into one of the otocysts of each embryo in the…

  • USP9X integrates TGF-β and hypoxia signalings to promote ovarian cancer chemoresistance via HIF-2α-maintained stemness

    USP9X integrates TGF-β and hypoxia signalings to promote ovarian cancer chemoresistance via HIF-2α-maintained stemness

    USP9X is synergistically enriched with TGF-β signaling in chemoresistant HGOSC and predicts poor progression

    Based on the scattered reports about TGF-β signaling involvement in ovarian cancer (OC) progression and chemoresistance, we analyzed…

    Zygotic activation of transposable elements during zebrafish early embryogenesis

    Zebrafish embryo collection

    Two zebrafish strains, AB and India WT, were used in this study. They were reared in a pH (7.2–7.6) controlled recirculation system at around 28 °C, with a 14-h light and 10-h dark cycle. Breeding involved placing…
