Chronic wounds, such as venous ulcers, are characterized by physiological impairments manifested by delays in healing, resulting in severe morbidity. Surgical debridement is routinely performed on chronic wounds because it stimulates... more
B-myb gene is expressed in neuroblastoma cells and down-regulated during differentiation. We used B-myb-transfected LAN-5 cells, which constitutively express high level of B-myb, to detect changes at phenotypic and morphological levels in... more
To examine the expression patterns of the intermediate filament (IF) proteins nestin and synemin following retinal injury. Wide-scale retinal injuries were created by experimental retinal detachment of 1, 3, 7, or 30 days' duration.... more
Carcinomas are widely thought to derive from epithelial cells with malignant progression often associated with an epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). We have characterized tumors generated by spontaneously transformed human... more
Distinguishing endocervical adenocarcinoma (ECA) from endometrial adenocarcinoma (EMA) is clinically significant and cannot always be made on the basis of morphology alone or clinical findings. The aim of this study was to study the... more
Vimentin is an intermediate filament that regulates cell attachment and subcellular organization. In this study, vimentin filaments were morphologically altered, and its soluble subunits were rapidly reduced via cadmium chloride... more
Testing for DNA methylation has potential in cancer screening. Most previous studies of DNA methylation in cervical cancer used a candidate gene approach. The aim our study was to identify novel genes that are methylated in cervical... more
The occurrence of red hair and pale skin in individuals, which is associated with UV-radiation sensitivity and increased skin cancer risk, is mainly due to polymorphisms in the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) expressed in melanocytes. We... more
In this study, we investigated the actions of high homocysteine (Hcy) levels (100 and 500 μM) on the cytoskeleton of C6 glioma cells. Results showed that the predominant cytoskeletal response was massive formation of actin-containing... more
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a large class of secreted factors, which serve as modulators of development in multiple organ systems, including the CNS. Studies investigating the potential of stem cell transplantation for... more
