Alternative RNA splicing, a ubiquitous mechanism of gene regulation in eukaryotes, expands genome coding capacity and proteomic diversity. It has essential roles in all aspects of human physiology, including immunity. This review highlights the importance of RNA alternative splicing in regulating immune T cell function. We discuss how mutations tha...

In vitro embryo production depends on high-quality oocytes. Compared with in vivo matured oocytes, in vitro oocytes undergo precocious meiotic resumption, thus compromising oocyte quality. C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a follicular factor maintaining meiotic arrest. Thus, CNP-pretreatment has been widely used to improve the in vitro maturatio...

In a recent study, we developed a minimally actuated robot that utilizes wave-like locomotion and analyzed its kinematics. In this paper, we present an analysis of the robot's locomotion between two highly flexible surfaces. Initially, we created a simulation model of the robot between two surfaces and determined its speed and the conditions of loc...

Among abiotic stressors, drought and salinity seriously affect crop growth worldwide. In plants, research has aimed to increase stress-responsive protein synthesis upstream or downstream of the various transcription factors (TFs) that alleviate drought and salinity stress. TFs play diverse roles in controlling gene expression in plants, which is ne...

The demand for bone substitutes is increasing in Western countries. Bone graft substitutes aim to provide reconstructive surgeons with off-the-shelf alternatives to the natural bone taken from humans or animal species. Under the tissue engineering paradigm, biomaterial scaffolds can be designed by incorporating bone stem cells to decrease the disad...
