miR-27b Modulates Insulin Signaling in Hepatocytes by Regulating Insulin Receptor Expression
(MDPI, 2020-11-17)
Insulin resistance (IR) is one of the key contributing factors in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the molecular mechanisms leading to IR are still unclear. The implication of microRNAs (miRNAs) ...
SPANX-A/D protein subfamily plays a key role in nuclear organisation, metabolism and flagellar motility of human spermatozoa
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-03-27)
Human sperm protein associated with the nucleus on the X chromosome (SPANX) genes encode a protein family (SPANX-A, -B, -C and -D), whose expression is limited to the testis and spermatozoa in normal tissues and to a wide ...

(Wiley, 2020-07-07)
[EN] Osteopontin (OPN), a senescence-associated secretory phenotype factor, is increased
in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Cellular senescence

BIRC6 Is Associated with Vulnerability of Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque
(MDPI, 2020-12-09)
Carotid atherosclerotic plaque rupture can lead to cerebrovascular accident (CVA). By comparing RNA-Seq data from vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) extracted from carotid atheroma surgically excised from a group of ...
