PPARβ/δ Ligands Regulate Oxidative Status and Inflammatory Response in Inflamed Corpus Luteum-An In Vitro Study

39 views | Jul 12 2023

This study revealed that PPARβ/δ agonists at different concentrations regulate the inflammatory response in the pig corpus luteum, with the lower dose showing anti-inflammatory effects and the higher dose potentially supporting the immune response against pathogens. [Read the Full Post]

HBXIP blocks myosin-IIA assembly by phosphorylating and interacting with NMHC-IIA in breast cancer metastasis

42 views | Apr 22 2023

The study found that the oncoprotein HBXIP promotes breast cancer cell migration by blocking myosin-IIA assembly, and that the anti-hyperlipidemic drug bezafibrate (BZF) can inhibit PKCβII-mediated NMHC-IIA phosphorylation and suppress breast cancer metastasis both in vitro and in vivo.
