Gamma-enolase predicts lung damage in severe acute pancreatitis-induced acute lung injuryJournal of Molecular Histology - Tập 49 - Trang 347-356 - 2018

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) associated acute lung injury (ALI) accounts for
about 70% mortality of SAP patients. However, there are no precise biomarkers
for the disease currently. Herein, we evaluated the potential of gamma-enolase
(ENO2), against its universal isoform alpha-enolase (ENO1), as a marker of
SAP–ALI in a rat model. Firstly, 16 male Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly
divided into ... hiện toàn bộ
Glycosaminoglycan and growth factor mediated murine calvarial cell proliferationJournal of Molecular Histology - Tập 38 - Trang 415-424 - 2007

Understanding the complex mechanisms underlying bone remodeling is crucial to
the development of novel therapeutics. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) localised to
the extracellular matrix (ECM) of bone are thought to play a key role in
mediating aspects of bone development. The influence of isolated GAGs was
studied by utilising in vitro murine calvarial monolayer and organ culture model
systems. Additio... hiện toàn bộ
Distribution, shape, and immunohistochemical characteristics of serotonin-immunoreactive neuroendocrine cells in the urethra and periurethral genital organs in miceJournal of Molecular Histology - Tập 52 - Trang 1205-1214 - 2021

The aim of this study is to clarify the disibution, shape, and
immunohistochemical characteristics of serotonin-immunoreactive neuroendocrine
cells (SIR-NECs) in mouse prostate and in the surrounding genital organs by
histological and immunohistochemical analysis of the light microscopic serial
sections of urethra. We collected lower urinary tracts from 13-week-old mice and
observed the distributi... hiện toàn bộ
Differential Distribution of Elastic Tissue in Human Natural Skin and Tissue-Engineered SkinJournal of Molecular Histology - Tập 35 - Trang 421-428 - 2004

Tissue-engineered skins (TES), manufactured by epidermal and dermal equivalents,
are now being used in biological, pharmacotoxicological and clinical
applications. It is thus interesting to know to what extent artificial organs
are similar to natural counterparts. Elastic fibres are important constituents
of the extracellular matrix of natural skin (NS). The aim of our study was to
investigate the... hiện toàn bộ
Characterization of sinusoidal endothelial cells of the liver and bone marrow using an intravital lectin injection methodJournal of Molecular Histology - Tập 39 - Trang 471-479 - 2008
Ayako Nakamura-Ishizu, Shunichi Morikawa, Kazuhiko Shimizu, Taichi Ezaki
The vascular endothelia express a variety of structural and biological
phenotypes. We used an intravital injection method of plant derived lectins
(Lycopersicon esculentum lectin (LEL), Ricinus communis Agglutinin-I (RCA-I),
Ulex europaeus Agglutinin-I (UEA-I) and Concanavalin A (ConA)) to elucidate the
morphology and function of the sinusoidal endothelium of the liver and bone
marrow. All four le... hiện toàn bộ
Expression of an intron-containing β-tubulin mRNA in catfish olfactory epitheliumJournal of Molecular Histology - Tập 38 - Trang 571-579 - 2007
Ezio Bettini, Frank L. Margolis
β-Tubulin genes code for very similar proteins, sharing extensive identity in
amino acid sequence within and across species, each of which manifests
characteristic patterns of cell and tissue expression. While searching for
olfactory specific mRNAs in the channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), we
isolated a novel β-tubulin cDNA. In the putative ORF, 1298 nucleotides were
80–88% identical to cloned... hiện toàn bộ
High dose of TNF-α suppressed osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signalingJournal of Molecular Histology - Tập 46 - Trang 409-420 - 2015
Zhenjie Qin, Zhixiu Fang, Lei Zhao, Jing Chen, Yuanteng Li, Guangyun Liu
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were a clonogenic, highly proliferative cells
capable of self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation including
chondrocytes, adipocytes, neural cells and osteoblasts, which make it an
attractive choice for bone regeneration and repair of craniofacial defects.
Recent studies showed that tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) may affect
osteoclastogenesis and bone formatio... hiện toàn bộ
