Endothelial cells (ECs) participate in inflammatory and immune reactions by producing and
responding to cytokines. The molecular basis underlying the functional reprograming of …

TNF α‐induced protein 2 (TNFAIP 2) is a primary response gene of TNF α. TNFAIP 2 is
highly expressed in immune cells and the urinary bladder. The expression of TNFAIP 2 is …

Many mammalian peripheral tissues have circadian clocks,,,; endogenous oscillators that
generate transcriptional rhythms thought to be important for the daily timing of physiological …

Cell–cell communication is essential for the development and homeostasis of multicellular
organisms. Recently, a new type of cell–cell communication was discovered that is based on …

Podocyte injury leading to albuminuria is a characteristic feature of diabetic nephropathy
(DN). Hyperglycemia and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are major determinants …

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) have been proposed as a driving force for the evolution of
the mammalian placenta, however, the contribution of ERVs to placental development and …

Vitamin D‐deficient IL‐10 knockout (KO) mice develop accelerated inflammatory bowel
disease (IBD). Removing dietary calcium from the diets of vitamin D‐deficient IL‐10 KO mice …

The Kruppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) transcription factor is highly expressed in high-grade and
basal-like breast cancers. However, the mechanism by which KLF5 promotes cell migration …

Central nervous system injury re-initiates neurogenesis in anamniotes (amphibians and
fishes), but not in mammals. Activation of the innate immune system promotes regenerative …

The exocyst is a protein complex required for the late stages of secretion in yeast. Unlike the
SNAREs (SNAP receptors), important secretory proteins that are broadly distributed on the …
