Abstract

CBX7 is shown to down-regulate the expression of osteopontin (OPN) that is associated with osteoblast function. Here, we studied the role of CBX7 in the wound healing of tooth extraction socket in which osteoblast activity is critical via comparison between CBX7-knockout (CBX7-/-) mice and their wild-type (WT) counterparts of 6 weeks old with maxillary first molar extracted. Mice were euthanized at 7, 14, and 21 days after extractions, and alveolar sockets were assessed by semi-quantitative histomorphometry for hard tissue healing, including new bone fill (Masson's trichrome staining), osteoblast activity (OPN/osterix, Osx), osteoclast activity (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, TRAP), and for soft tissue healing, including blood vessels (alpha smooth muscle actin, α-SMA). Also, the bone microarchitecture was evaluated by micro-CT. In radiological analysis, CBX7-/- mice increased bone mass significantly more than WT mice did. Consistently, both the amount of new bone fill and OPN/Osx-immunopositive cells in the extraction sockets were significantly increased in CBX7-/- mice at each time point with respect to their WT siblings, while osteoclast number exhibited a trend of more increase in CBX7-/- mice at all time points as we...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
