Tissue regeneration/fibrosis after injury is intricately regulated by the immune cascade reaction and extracellular matrix (ECM). Dysregulated cascade signal could jeopardize tissue homeostasis leading to fibrosis. Bioactive scaffolds mimicking natural […]
Learn More >Voltage-gated Ca channels (VGCC) directly control muscle contraction and neurotransmitter release, and slower processes such as cell differentiation, migration, and death. They are potently inhibited by RGK GTP-ases (Rem, Rem2, […]
Learn More >The role of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27), a chaperone, in neuropathic pain after nerve injury has not been systematically surveyed despite its neuroprotective and regeneration-promoting effects. In this study, […]
Learn More >The superficial zone cells in articular cartilage (SFZCs) have been identified as stem/progenitor chondrocytes and promoted cell self-renewal in the osteoarthritis (OA). Several studies emphasized the involvement of senescence and […]
Learn More >A series of new thiadiazine derivatives including 2-(5-alkyl/aryl-6-thioxo-1,3,5-thiadiazinan-3-yl) propanoic acids (a) and 4-methyl-2-(5-alkyl/aryl-6-thioxo-1,3,5-thiadiazinan-3-yl) pentanoic acids (b) were synthesized by reacting primary alkyl/aryl amines with CS, followed by reaction with formaldehyde […]
Learn More >The vanilloid receptor TRPV1 is an exquisite nociceptive sensor of noxious heat, but its temperature-sensing mechanism is yet to define. Thermodynamics dictate that this channel must undergo an unusually energetic […]
Learn More >Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common β-hemoglobinopathy caused by various mutations in the adult β-globin gene resulting in sickle hemoglobin production, chronic hemolytic anemia, pain, and progressive organ […]
Learn More >Low back pain is a global health problem directly related to intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. Senolytic drugs (RG-7112 and o-Vanillin) target and remove senescent cells from IVDs in vitro, improving […]
Learn More >Degenerative intervertebral disc disease is a common source of chronic pain and reduced quality of life in people over the age of 40. While degeneration occurs throughout the disc, it […]
Learn More >Chronic low back pain mainly attributed to intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. Endogenous damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in the injured IVD, particularly mitochondria-derived nucleic acid molecules (CpG DNA), play a primary […]
