Biological interactions between were determined by RNA silencing overexpression evaluated...
The neurogenin (Ngn) transcription factors control early neurogenesis and neurite outgrowth in mammalian cortex. In contrast to their proneural activity, function growth is poorly understood. Drosophila has a single predicted Ngn homolog, Tap, of unknown function. Here we show that Tap not protein but required for proper axonal guidance neurons the mushroom body, neuropile associative learning memory. Genetic expression analyses suggest inhibits excessive by fine regulation levels Wnt...
Chondrocyte senescence play an essential role in osteoarthritis (OA) progression. Recent studies have shown that snoRNA-derived RNA fragments (sdRNAs) are novel regulators of post-transcriptional gene expression.

Abstract The effect of residual varus on survival rate and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) was considered an important issue for successful primary total arthroplasty (TKA). In this study, we compared the midterm clinical functional outcomes different varus. A retrospective review 175 (219 knees) OA > 3° hip-knee-ankle (HKA) who underwent TKA after exclusions loss to follow-up from 237 (281 knees). mean period 5.2 ( ± 1.1) years. Patients were divided into four groups...
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a highly prevalent disabling joint disease in aged people. Progressive cartilage degradation the hallmark of KOA, but its deeper mechanism remains unclear. Substantial evidence indicates importance synovium for homeostasis. The present study aimed to determine whether regulates metabolism through chondrogenesis-related microRNAs (miRNAs) KOA microenvironment.

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is the consequence of valve reflux and/or flow obstruction and resulting hypertension in lower extremities. The aim this prospective supplement registry study was to evaluate efficacy compression stockings or Pycnogenol
Synovitis, among the most common signs of early-stage osteoarthritis (OA), is mainly mediated by fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs). Cartilage destruction creates chondrocyte lysates (CLs) that activate synovial inflammation. A comprehensive understanding chondrocyte-FLS communication might offer novel, specific therapeutic targets for treating synovitis and OA. Hence, we sought to uncover role CLs in OA-FLSs synovitis. Isolated were cocultured with FLSs test whether they could stimulate...
