Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a promising cell source for stem cell therapy to replace neurons damaged by neurodegenerative diseases. A system designed for in vitro neuronal differentiation of MSCs is an indispensable technique, which pr...
The Dlg1 gene encodes a member of the MAGUK protein family involved in the polarization of epithelial cells. Null mutant mice for the Dlg1 gene (Dlg1(-/-) mice) exhibit respiratory failure and cyanosis, and die soon after birth. However, the cause...
In order to elucidate the function of anti-aromatic acid decarboxylase (AADC)-only-positive cells in the alimentary canal, 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan (5-HTP) or L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) was intraperitoneally injected into the laboratory s...
Background: Loss of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene function results in constitutive activation of the canonical Wnt pathway and represents the main initiating and rate-limiting event in colorectal tumorigenesis. APC is likely to participate...
Caveolae and rafts are two different domains of the plasma membrane. Caveolae are small invaginations and characterized by the presence of unique membrane proteins named caveolins. Caveolins bind cholesterol, form oligomers, interact with various ...
Calreticulin (CRT)-1 is a major Ca2+-buffering protein in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. Human and murine CRT-2 was isolated in 2002, but the subcellular localization and function is still unclear. Here, we studied the intracellular local...
