As noncombustible nicotine delivery devices, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are the most popular tobacco product among youth. The widespread popularity of e-cigarettes combined with possible health consequences suggest a need to further research hazards associated e-cigarette use. Since conventional use is risk factor for osteoporosis, this study investigates impact nicotine-free, cinnamon-flavored liquid (e-liquid) on bone-forming osteoblasts compared flavorless e-liquid. Human...
Abstract Electronic cigarettes (e‐cigarettes) are nicotine delivery devices advertised as a healthier alternative to conventional tobacco products, but their rapid rise in popularity outpaces research on potential health consequences. As use is risk factor for osteoporosis, this study examines whether exposure electronic liquid (e‐liquid) used e‐cigarettes affects bone‐forming osteoblasts. Human MG‐63 and Saos‐2 osteoblast‐like cells were treated 48 hours with 0.004%‐4.0% dilutions of...
The evolutionary introduction of asymmetric cell division (ACD) into the developmental program facilitates formation a new type, contributing to diversity and, eventually, species diversification. micromere sea urchin embryo may serve as one those examples: An ACD at 16-cell stage forms micromeres unique echinoids among echinoderms. We previously reported that polarity factor, Activator G-protein Signaling (AGS), plays crucial role in formation. However, AGS and its associated factors are...

Doublecortin-like kinase1 and 2 (DCLKs) are protein Ser/Thr kinases important for neuronal development. More recently, they also reported to regulate plasticity such as cell proliferation differentiation of stem cells cancer cells, but the details their functions in this biological context still unclear. With an attempt reveal DCLKs regulation, we here used sea urchin embryo that undergoes highly regulative development experimental model. We found both transcripts proteins uniformly present...
