Abstract Although zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) has been identified as a key factor in the regulation of breast cancer differentiation and metastasis, its potential role modulating tumor chemoresistance not fully understood. Here, through study specimens from large cohort human subjects, we showed that patients with tumors expressed high levels ZEB1 responded poorly to chemotherapy. Moreover, expression was positively correlated B-cell lymphoma-extra (Bcl-xL) cyclin D1, which...

The high-performance unidirectional manipulation of microdroplets is crucial for many vital applications including water collection and bioanalysis. Among several actuation methods (e.g., electric, magnetic, light, thermal actuation), mechanical vibration pollution-free biocompatible. However, it suffers from limited droplet movement mode, small volume range (VMax /VMin < 3), low transport velocity (≤11.5 mm s-1 ) because the motion a sliding state caused by vertical on asymmetric...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common primary liver cancer, relies on formation of new blood vessel for growth and frequent intrahepatic extrahepatic metastasis. Therefore, it is important to explore underlying molecular mechanisms tumor angiogenesis HCC. Recently, microRNAs have been shown modulate angiogenic processes by modulating expression critical factors. However, potential roles tumor-derived exosomal in regulating remain be elucidated. In this study, our miRNome sequencing...
