Peptide uptake systems that involve members of the proton-coupled oligopeptide transporter
(POT) family are conserved across all organisms. POT proteins have characteristic …

Controlling the balance of endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in blood
vessels is critically important to minimize the risk associated with vascular implants. …

Given the difficulties inherent in maintaining human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in a
healthy state, hPSCs should be routinely characterized using several established standard …

Indirect evidence suggests that lactoferrin (Lf), a major iron-binding protein in human milk,
induces enterocyte growth and proliferation, depending on its concentration and aŠects the …

BACKGROUND: Both rapid endothelialization and the prevention of intimal hyperplasia are
essential to improve the patency of small-caliber vascular grafts (SCVGs). Using the peptide …

Recent advances have led to the emergence of highly comprehensive and analytical
approaches, such as omics analysis and high-resolution, time-resolved bioimaging analysis. …

Background We have developed magnetic cationic liposomes (MCLs) that contained magnetic
nanoparticles as heating mediator for applying them to local hyperthermia. The heating …

There is increasing evidence that most idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI) is
immune mediated, and in most cases, reactive metabolites appear to be responsible for the …

Elucidating the interaction between major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules and
antigenic peptides is fundamental to better understanding of the processes involved in …
