Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is a label-free, wide-field microscopy approach with
significant opportunities for biomedical applications. QPI uses the natural phase shift of light …

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a non-receptor tyrosine kinase, is overexpressed and
activated in many cancer types. FAK regulates diverse cellular processes, including growth …

Depending on cell type, environmental inputs, and disease, the cells in the human body can
have widely different sizes. In recent years, it has become clear that cell size is a major …

Abstract Background and Aims Peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor α (PPARα,
NR1C1) is a ligand‐activated nuclear receptor involved in the regulation of lipid catabolism …

While molecules that promote the growth of animal cells have been identified, it remains
unclear how such signals are orchestrated to determine a characteristic target size for …

High malignancy and mortality in colon cancer require clarifying the underlying mechanisms
of colon cancer carcinogenesis and exploring new targets or drugs for the clinical treatment …

The human body is programmed with definite quantities, magnitudes, and proportions. At the
microscopic level, such definite sizes manifest in individual cells-different cell types are …

Cells can secrete molecules that help each other's replication. In cell cultures, chemical
signals might diffuse only within a cell colony or between colonies. A chemical signal's …

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of liver-related death. Lipophilic
statins have been associated with a decrease in HCC incidence, raising the possibility of …

The Hippo pathway is a central regulator of tissue growth that has been widely studied in
mammalian organ development, regeneration, and cancer biology. Although previous …
