Journal: Cell Death & Disease
Neonatal mice and adult zebrafish can fully regenerate their hearts through proliferation of pre-existing cardiomyocytes. Previous studies have revealed that p53 signalling is activated during cardiac regeneration in neonatal mice and that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generated near the wound site acts as a novel signal to promote...

Journal: Theranostics
The dysfunctional gut-kidney axis forms a vicious circle, which eventually becomes a catalyst for the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and occurrence of related complications. However, the pathogenic factors of CKD-associated intestinal dysfunction and its mechanism remain elusive. We first identified the protein-bound uremic...

Journal: Scientific Reports
Due to its regulation of CDK1/2 phosphorylation, WEE1 plays essentially roles in the regulations of G2/M checkpoint and DNA damage response (DDR). WEE1 inhibition can increase genomic instability by inducing replication stress and G2/M checkpoint inactivation, which result in increased cellular sensitivity to DNA damaging agents...

Background: Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a common degenerative disease that can lead to collapse or herniation of the nucleus pulposus (NP) and result in radiculopathy in patients. Methods: NP tissue and cells were isolated from patients and mice, and the expression profile of cortistatin (CST) was analysed. In addition...
The June edition of Research Spotlight features 10 recent research discoveries from scientists whom Boster has served.
This month’s selected research publications investigate several cancers and diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatitis B, prostate cancer, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes.
Among the studies, scientists propose a prodrug for inflammatory diseases as well as a tumor nanovaccine that utilizes electrostatic interactions. The relationship of depression with inflammation and metabolic dysfunction in addition to ketamine’s potential anti-depressive effects are also explored.

Journal: Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B
Peritoneal adhesions are fibrous tissues that tether organs to one another or to the peritoneal wall and represent the major cause of postsurgical morbidity. Enterolysis at repeat surgeries induces adhesion reformation that is more difficult to prevent than primary adhesion. Here we studied the preventive effects of different approaches of berberine...
