Receptor-activator of NF-κB ligand (TNFSF11, also known as RANKL) and its receptor RANK are essential regulators on bone remodeling, mammary gland development and hormone-associated breast cancer development. However, the expression pattern and role of RANKL/RANK axis in decidual stromal cells (DSCs) are unclear in human early pregnancy.We analyzed RANKL/RANK expression in DSCs by real-time PCR, immunhistochemistry,...
Our previous studies have shown that Cyclosporin A (CsA) promotes human trophoblast invasion via mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) pathway. E-cadherin and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are important mediators in trophoblast migration and invasion. Here, we further investigate the role of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling in the CsA-induced trophoblast...
Hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramic has been used in tissue engineering and orthopedics for its good biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. However, its clinical applications are usually limited by the low strength and brittleness. The objective of this research was to develop a new kind of HA composites in which multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were introduced to the HA ceramic matrix to improve the...
The concept of biosensor with imaging ellipsometry was proposed about ten years ago. It has become an automatic analysis technique for protein detection with merits of label-free, multi-protein analysis, and real-time analysis for protein interaction process, etc. Its principle, and related technique units, such as micro-array, micro-fluidic and bio-molecule interaction cell, sampling unit and calibration...
