Caspase-3 dependent nitrergic neuronal apoptosis following cavernous nerve injury is mediated via RhoA and ROCK activation in major pelvic ganglion
(2016-07-08)
Axonal injury due to prostatectomy leads to Wallerian degeneration of the cavernous nerve (CN) and erectile dysfunction (ED). Return of potency is dependent on axonal regeneration and reinnervation of the penis. Following ...

Blood‐based markers of efficacy and resistance to cetuximab treatment in metastatic colorectal cancer: results from CALGB 80203 (Alliance)
(2016-09)
Circulating protein markers were assessed in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) treated with cetuximab in CALGB 80203 to identify prognostic and predictive biomarkers. Patients with locally advanced or metastatic CRC ...
Evolutionary Dynamics of Floral Homeotic Transcription Factor Protein–Protein Interactions
(2016-02-22)
Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) have widely acknowledged roles in the regulation of development, but few studies have addressed the timing and mechanism of shifting PPIs over evolutionary history. The B-class MADS-box ...
Essential role of proteasomes in maintaining self-renewal in neural progenitor cells
(2016-01-25)
Protein turnover and homeostasis are regulated by the proteasomal system, which is critical for
cell function and viability. Pluripotency of stem cells also relies on normal proteasomal activity that mitigates senescent ...
