Both cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking are well-established risk factors for esophageal
squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and the relationship of dose to cancer risk has already …

Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common incident cancer in the world and ranks sixth
among all cancers in mortality. Esophageal cancers are classified into two histological types; …

Recent studies have shown that the tumor microenvironment plays an important role in
cancer progression. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), in particular, have been found …

Objective To compare the properties of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated
from bone marrow, synovium, periosteum, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. Methods …

Although previous studies in the general population showed that hypomagnesemia is a risk
for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the impact of magnesium on the prognosis of patients on …

Small silencing RNAs—small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or microRNAs (miRNAs)—direct
posttranscriptional gene silencing of their mRNA targets as guides for the RNA-induced …

Background and Objective: Stem cells have been used for regenerative therapies in various
fields. The proportion of cells that possess stem cell properties in human periodontal …

Transgenic mice expressing the mouse interleukin 33 (IL-33) gene driven by a keratin 14
promoter were generated. The skin-selective expression of the IL-33 gene was enhanced …

The precipitation of three new types of metastable phases, ie, TYPE-A, TYPE-B and TYPE-C,
with different crystal structures from the β′ phase is proposed from our research on the …

Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) consist of a germline-specific group of small RNAs derived
from distinct intergenic loci in the genome. piRNAs function in silencing selfish transposable …
