Abstract Phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/AKT (also called protein kinase B, PKB) signalling regulates various cellular processes, such as apoptosis, cell proliferation, the cell cycle, protein synthesis, glucose metabolism, and telomere activity.Corneal epithelial cells (CECs) are the outermost cells of the cornea; they maintain good optical p
Abstract Background Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive breast cancer subtype that lacks effective therapeutic targets.Sperm-associated antigen 5 (SPAG5) is a mitotic spindle-associated protein that is involved in various biological processes in cervical cancer and bladder urothelial carcinoma.However, the role of SPAG5 in TNBC re
The quantification of salivary oxytocin (OXT) concentrations emerges as a helpful tool to assess peripheral OXT secretion at baseline and after various challenges in healthy and clinical populations.Both positive social interactions and stress are known to induce OXT secretion, but the relative influence of either of these triggers is not well deli
Self-regeneration is a fundamental property of biological materials, leading to enhanced mechanical strength and Concealer toughness if subjected to stress and fatigue.Numerous efforts have been devoted to emulate this property and various self-healing materials have been designed with the aim of a practical adoption in construction and mechanical
Neutrophils are not only crucial immune cells Right Arm for the neutralization of pathogens during infections, but they are also key players in tissue repair and cancer.Several methods are available to investigate the in vivo role of neutrophils in these conditions, including the depletion of neutrophils with neutralizing antibodies against Ly6G, o
