Actin binding proteins are of crucial importance for the spatiotemporal regulation of actin
cytoskeletal dynamics, thereby mediating a tremendous range of cellular processes. Since …

The field of tissue engineering is severely limited by a lack of microvascularization in tissue
engineered constructs. Biomimetic poly (ethylene glycol) hydrogels containing covalently …

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is associated with glomerular podocyte injury.
Podocytes undergo dramatic changes in their actin structure, with little mechanistic insight to …

Human amniotic fluid obtained at amniocentesis, when cultured, generates at least two
morphologically distinct mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) subsets. Of these, the …

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the deadliest of the gynecological malignancies, due in
part to its clinically occult metastasis. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms governing …

Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) has been implicated in the establishment of
cancerous phenotypes. However, the role of VASP in gastric cancer progression and …

Abstract Light-emitting diodes (LED)-derived lights have been widely used as a medical
treatment in photobiomodulation (PBM). However, the PBM effects in ophthalmology are …

Vasodilator‐stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) is a 39‐kDa protein belonging to the
Ena/VASP protein family, which is involved in adhesion, migration, cell–cell interaction, and …

Dynamic subcellular regulation of protein kinase A (PKA) activity is important for the motile
behavior of many cell types, yet the mechanisms governing PKA activity during cell …

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs which play important roles in
the carcinogenesis of gastric cancer (GC). Expression profiling of miRNAs in paired gastric …
