The formation of the embryonic brain and spinal cord begins as the neural plate bends to
form the neural folds, which meet and adhere to close the neural tube. The neural ectoderm …

Protein phosphatases and kinases control multiple cellular events including proliferation,
differentiation, and stress responses through regulating reversible protein phosphorylation …

Background and Purpose This study investigates the antifibrotic activities and potential
mechanisms of costunolide (COS), a natural sesquiterpene compound. Experimental …

Background Selection for sound conformation has been widely used as a primary approach
to reduce lameness and leg weakness in pigs. Identification of genomic regions that affect …

Reproductive traits are economically important for beef cattle production; however, these
traits are still a bottleneck in indicine cattle since these animals typically reach puberty at …

The adaptor proteins, STING and MAVS, are components of critical pathogen-sensing
pathways that induce innate immunity. Phosphorylation of either adaptor results in activation …

Background Investigating cell fate decision and subpopulation specification in the context of
the neural lineage is fundamental to understanding neurogenesis and neurodegenerative …

Objective. Liver cancer is one of the most common malignancies, but its prognosis is still
poor. Exploring potential biomarkers is an important direction of tumor research. We intend …

Serine/threonine phosphatases achieve substrate diversity by forming distinct holoenzyme
complexes in cells. Although the PPP family of serine/threonine phosphatase family …

BACKGROUND: PPM1G, a member of the serine/threonine protease family,
dephosphorylates various proteins and may be involved in cancer development. The role …
