The original version of this article inadvertently presented a mistake regarding the termination zones of entorhinal cotex in the dentate gyrus. The termination zones were erroneously swapped in both Figure 7. and the associated text.
Intravitreal Ets1 siRNA alleviates choroidal neovascularization in a mouse model of age-related macular degeneration
Published in Cell and Tissue Research
Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is the basic feature of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in elders. Macrophages and microglia promote CNV via producing pro-angiogenic factors and inflammatory cytokines. Transcription factor E26 transformation specific-1 (Ets1) plays a pro-angiogenic role via its ...
Histoarchitecture restoration of cerebellar sub-layers as a response to estradiol treatment following Kainic acid-induce...
Published in Cell and Tissue Research
One of the major impacts of spinal cord injury (SCI) is the cerebellar neurological malfunction and deformation of its sub-layers. This could be due to the enormous innervation of the spinocerebellar tract from the posterior gray horn in the spinal cord to the ipsilateral cerebellum. Although the neuroprotective role of estradiol in spinal cord (SC...
Human cathelicidin improves colonic epithelial defenses against Salmonella typhimurium by modulating bacterial invasion,...
Published in Cell and Tissue Research
The intestinal mucosa contributes to frontline gut defenses by forming a barrier (physical and biochemical) and preventing the entry of pathogenic microbes. One innate role of the human colonic epithelium is to secrete cathelicidin, a peptide with broad antimicrobial and immunomodulatory functions. In this study, the effect of cathelicidin in the m...
Distribution of neuropeptide F in the ventral nerve cord and its possible role on testicular development and germ cell p...
Published in Cell and Tissue Research
Neuropeptide F in invertebrates is a homolog of neuropeptide Y in mammals and it is a member of FMRFamide-related peptides. In arthropods, such as insects, there are two types of neuropeptide F comprising long neuropeptide F (NPF) and short neuropeptide F (sNPF). Both NPFs are known to play a crucial role in the regulations of foraging, feeding-rel...
Spermatogenesis and lobular cyst type of testes organization in marine gastropod Littorina saxatilis (Olivi 1792)
Published in Cell and Tissue Research
Although individual stages of spermatogenesis in Littorina saxatilis are well studied at the electron microscopic level, the gonad structure and the spatial localization of gametes at different stages of maturation remain unclear. Using differential-interference contrast (DIC) for observations of fresh tissue we show that the mature testis consists...
Intestinal nerve cell injury occurs prior to insulin resistance in female mice ingesting a high-fat diet
...Published in Cell and Tissue Research
Diabetic patients suffer from gastrointestinal disorders associated with dysmotility, enteric neuropathy and dysbiosis of gut microbiota; however, gender differences are not fully known. Previous studies have shown that a high-fat diet (HFD) causes type two diabetes (T2D) in male mice after 4–8 weeks but only does so in female mice after 16 weeks. ...
The thymus is relevant in the migration of mature lymphocytes
Published in Cell and Tissue Research
The thymus is a primary lymphoid organ where T lymphocyte proliferation and selection takes place. The different subsets of lymphocytes leave the thymus as recent thymic emigrants. Peripheral dendritic cells migrate to the thymus. In addition to the homing of hematopoietic progenitor cells to the thymus, there is evidence for lymphocyte entry from ...
Treatment of cancer stem cells from human colon adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29 with resveratrol and sulindac induced mes...
Published in Cell and Tissue Research
In the current experiment, the combined regime of resveratrol and a Wnt-3a inhibitor, sulindac, were examined on the angiogenic potential of cancer stem cells from human colon adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29 during 7 days. Cancer stem cells were enriched via a magnetic-activated cell sorter technique and cultured in endothelial induction medium cont...
