Maternal Serum PLGF Associates with 3D Power Doppler Ultrasound Markers of Utero-Placental Vascular Development in the First Trimester: The Rotterdam Periconception Cohort

Academic Background The placenta plays a critical role in health and disease during pregnancy, and its development and function directly impact pregnancy outcomes. The early development of the utero-placental vasculature is essential for ensuring normal placental function, while abnormal vascular development is closely associated with placenta-rela...

Timed Topical Dexamethasone Eye Drops Improve Mitochondrial Function to Prevent Severe Retinopathy of Prematurity

Academic Background and Problem Statement Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a common retinal neurovascular disorder in premature infants, primarily occurring in those whose retinal vascular development is incomplete. Due to exposure to a relatively hyperoxic environment after birth, especially with supplemental oxygen therapy, hyperoxia suppresse...

The Influences of APOE Isoforms on Endothelial Adherens Junctions and Actin Cytoskeleton Responding to MCRP

Research Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the deposition of amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and abnormal phosphorylation of tau protein. Recent studies have increasingly highlighted the role of cerebrovascular alterations in the pathogenesis of AD. Specifically, endothelial cell damage and inflam...

Inflammasome Activation Aggravates Choroidal Neovascularization

Report on the Study of Inflammasome Activation Aggravating Choroidal Neovascularization Academic Background Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common retinal disease, particularly among the elderly. AMD is divided into dry and wet types, with wet AMD characterized by choroidal neovascularization (CNV), where abnormal blood vessels grow fro...

Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells Reduce Vascular Leak and Proliferation in Retinal Neovessels

Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells Reduce Vascular Leak and Proliferation in Retinal Neovessels Academic Background Retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE cells) play a crucial role in various functions of the retina, including responding to stress and damage in the neuroretina. In many neurodegenerative diseases, such as age-related macular degenerat...

Prevalence and Clinical Significance of Claudin-3 Expression in Cancer: A Tissue Microarray Study on 14,966 Tumor Samples

Prevalence and Clinical Significance of Claudin-3 Expression in Cancer: A Tissue Microarray Study on 14,966 Tumor Samples Academic Background Claudin-3 (Cldn3) is a member of the Claudin family, involved in the formation of tight junctions (TJs), which regulate intercellular permeability. TJs play a crucial role in maintaining the barrier function ...

GDF15 Propeptide Promotes Bone Metastasis of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer by Augmenting the Bone Microenvironment

Research Objective This study aims to identify specific proteins secreted by prostate cancer cells through comprehensive proteomic analysis and explore their role in bone metastasis, with the goal of discovering blood biomarkers that can improve the prognosis of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Research Team an...

FBXL16: A New Regulator of Neuroinflammation and Cognition in Alzheimer’s Disease through the Ubiquitination-Dependent Degradation of Amyloid Precursor Protein

FBXL16: A New Regulator of Neuroinflammation and Cognition in Alzheimer’s Disease through Ubiquitination-Dependent Degradation of Amyloid Precursor Protein Academic Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline. With the global aging population, the incidence of neuro...
