Article Abstract

pDOR-erbB-2 sense and antisense retroviral expression vectors were introduced into normal human diploid fibroblasts(2BS), respectively, to construct 2BS-A cells(transfected with antisense recombinant vector) and 2BS-S cells (transfected with sense recombinant vector). Southern blot analysis verified that the exgenous c-erbB-2 cDNA were integrated into genomic DNA. Compared with the cells transfected with pDOR-neo empty vector, 2BS-A cells exhibited decreased ability not only to repair DNA damage, but also to undergo apoptosis. This was consistent with our observations that senescent phenotype was earlier appeared in these cells.

We develop a model that integrates evolutionary matrix game theory with Mendelian genetics. Within this framework, we define the genotype dynamics that describes how the frequencies of genotypes change in sexual diploid populations. We show that our formal definition of evolutionary stability for genotype distributions implies the stability of the corresponding interior equilibrium point in the genotype dynamics.

Introduction: Nuclear receptor-binding SET domain 3 (NSD3) has been implicated as a driver of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) in preclinical studies. However, its clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic significance remain unclear. To address this, we performed histopathological analysis of patient tissues.

Background Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) refers to a group of conditions linked to abnormal growth of trophoblastic tissue following conception. Although uncommon, early detection of GTD is vital due to the potential for progression and serious complications. The prevalence and presentation of GTD vary by region.

Background/aim: With an increasing number of comorbid diseases, the number of drug intake by elderly people and their chances to X-ray exposure inevitably increase. However, it is unclear how these treatments affect longevity. Primary human diploid fibroblasts with limited life span have been used as a model system for the study of cellular senescence.

Objective: To isolate and culture primary human eccrine sweat gland myoepithelial cells (MECs) and establish novel immortalized myoepithelial cells (iMECs), thereby providing essential materials for sweat gland biology research.

Methods: Sweat gland secretory coils were microdissected from upper eyelid skin specimens obtained post-blepharoplasty. MECs were isolated through differential trypsinization combined with adhesion-based purification.
