Understanding the physiology and pathology of an organ composed of a variety of cell populations depends critically on genome-wide information on each cell type. Here, we report single-cell transcriptome profiling of over 6,800 freshly…
Williams syndrome (WS) is a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by an uncommon hypersociability and a mosaic of retained and compromised linguistic and cognitive abilities.
Background: 1,1,2,2-Tetrahydroperfluoro-1-dodecanol (10:2 fluorotelomer alcohol) is a member of the per- and polyfluoroalkyl class of compounds to which humans are widely exposed.
The constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) plays a key role in the control of drug metabolism and transport by mediating the phenobarbital-type induction of many phase I and II drug metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid, AA) is a well-known regulator of bone and cartilage metabolism. However, the mechanisms of AA’s action in these tissues are only partly understood. In this study, we confirmed that AA contributes to bone and…
Flaxseed (FS), a nutritional supplement consisting mainly of omega-3 fatty acids and lignan phenolics has potent anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic and antioxidant properties. The usefulness of flaxseed as an alternative and complimentary…
The role of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in metastasis is a longstanding source of controversy, largely due to an inability to monitor transient and reversible EMT phenotypes in vivo.
Experiments using acute liver injury models revealed that BSEx suppressed acetaminophen- and D-galactosamine-induced liver injury and increased liver glutathione concentration and glutathione-S-transferase activity.
