Hypoxia Upregulates Cxcl12 in Hepatocytes by a Complex Mechanism Involving Hypoxia-Inducible Factors and Transforming Growth Factor-β
6 views | May 27 2020
Jenna Strickland et al. demonstrated that hypoxia upregulated Cxcl12 in primary mouse hepatocytes by a mechanism that involved HIFs and TGF-β. [Read the Full Post]
Small molecule inhibitor RepSox prevented ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis by suppressing osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption
64 views | Mar 22 2020
Mei L et al. suggested that RepSox regulates osteoclast differentiation, bone resorption, and OVX-induced OP via the suppression of the Smad3 and JNK/AP-1 pathways. [Read the Full Post]
