An estimated 75% of unsuccessful pregnancies are due to implantation failure. Investigating the causes of implantation failure is difficult as decidua......
Homology-directed repair (HDR)-mediated genome editing has become a powerful method for altering chromosomal sequences in a seamless and accurate mann......
Craniofacial and appendicular bone homeostasis is dynamically regulated by a balance between bone formation and resorption by osteoblasts and osteocla......
The loss of NHL repeat containing 2 (Nhlrc2) leads to early embryonic lethality in mice, but the exact timing is currently unknown. In this study, we ......
Hyaluronic acid (HA) has been widely used in medicine and is currently of particular interest to maxillofacial surgeons. Several applications have bee......
Brain acid soluble protein 1 (BASP1; previously NAP22 or CAP23) is an actin-associating protein that is highly expressed in the nervous system through......
The Sigma 1 receptor (SIGMAR1) is a transmembrane protein located in the mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane, and plays an importan......
The Wnt1-Cre transgenic mouse line is widely used to express the CRE recombinase in neural crest lineages, but it overexpresses WNT1 itself, which can......
LRWD1, also known as ORCA, is a nuclear protein functioning in multiple biological processes. Using its WD40 domain LRWD1 interacts with repressive hi......
The Aristaless-related homeobox (ARX) is a paired-like homeodomain transcription factor playing important roles in brain development. Patients with mu......
Indian hedgehog (Ihh), a member of the Hh family, plays important roles in vertebrate development and homeostasis. To improve our understanding of the......
Periodontium possesses stem cell populations for its self-maintenance and regeneration, and has been proved to be an optimal stem cell source for tiss......
The periodontium is a suitable target for regenerative intervention, since it does not functionally restore itself after disease. Importantly, the lim......
The past decade has witnessed enormous progress in optogenetics, which uses photo-sensitive proteins to control signal transduction in live cells and ......
All mammalian uteri contain glands in their endometrium that develop only or primarily after birth. In mice, those endometrial glands govern post impl......
