Post-fermented demonstrated in AF64A-induced damaged neural stem...

Non-metastatic colorectal cancer patients with diabetes have poor overall survival than those without diabetes. However, the effect of hyperglycemia on after diagnosis metastatic (CRC) has not been assessed. Therefore, we assessed impact and infection-related adverse events (AEs) in CRC. We reviewed records 206 newly diagnosed CRC who were treated palliative chemotherapy from March 2000 to December 2012 at Chungbuk National University Hospital. The mean glucose level each patient was...

Furthermore, this kind structure selectivity was dictated radius ratio criterion cationic anionic elements (r+/r–): three Zn-rich with r+/r– >...

Recent studies have highlighted the therapeutic potential of stem cells for various diseases. However, unlike other tissues, brain tissue has a specific structure, consisting synapses. These synapses not only transmit but also process and refine information. Therefore, synaptic regeneration plays key role in therapy neurodegenerative disorders. Neurexins (NRXNs) neuroligins (NLGNs) are cell adhesion molecules that connect pre- postsynaptic neurons at synapses, mediate trans-synaptic...
