Compromised immunosurveillance leads to chemotherapy resistance anddisease relapse of hematological malignancies. Amino acid metabolismregulates immune responses and cancer; however, a druggable amino acidmetabolite to enhance antitumor immunosurveillance …

Background: Pregnancy is a sensitive window where factors adversely affecting maternal cardiac health may leave women vulnerable to cardiovascular disease (CVD) later in life. However, it is not clear how cardiac changes during pregnancy influence …

Introduction: Increased permeability of the renal capillaries is a common consequence of sepsis-associated acute kidney injury. Vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin is a strictly endothelial-specific adhesion molecule that can control the permeability of …

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) may cause mechanical injuries to the optic nerve head (ONH) and the peripapillary tissues in glaucoma. Previous studies have reported the mechanical deformation of the ONH and the peripapillary sclera (PPS) at elevated …

Background: Tendon is a major component of musculoskeletal system connecting the muscles to the bone. Tendon injuries are very common orthopedics problems leading to impeded motion. Up to now, there still lacks effective treatments for tendon diseases. …

This step-by-step protocol provides a fast and easy technique to label and/or genetically manipulate neural cells, achieved by intraventricular injection of viral vectors into neonatal mice under ultrasound guidance. Successful injection of …

Heart failure is a process characterized by significant disturbance of protein turnover. To elucidate the alterations in cardiac protein expression during the various phases of heart failure and to understand the nature of the processes involved, we …

Background: P16ink4a can accumulate in senescent cells and can be induced by different oncogenic stimulations. These functions make p16ink4a a biomarker of senescence and cancer. However, the exact role of p16ink4a remains unclear in cardiovascular …

Recently, immunotherapy has become one of the most promising strategies in the treatment of malignant tumors. However, nonspecific immune activation may lead to immunotherapy-related adverse effects (irAEs). IrAEs involve almost all organs and may be …

Cancer treatment-induced toxicities may restrict maximal effective dosing for treatment and cancer survivors’ quality of life. It is critical to develop novel strategies that mitigate treatment-induced toxicity without affecting the efficacy of …
