High Shear Stress Reduces ERG Causing Endothelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

The paper shows high shear stress induces endothelial-mesenchymal transition and pulmonary arterial hypertension by reducing ERG expression, which can be mitigated by ERG replenishment.

Collection of 2429 constrained headshots of 277 volunteers for deep learning

The paper collects 2429 constrained headshots of 277 volunteers for deep learning, demonstrating its utility for gender recognition with convolutional neural networks.

RT-qPCR analyses on the osteogenic differentiation from human iPS cells: An investigation of reference genes

The paper evaluates reference genes for RT-qPCR in osteogenic differentiation of human iPS cells, finding TBP as the most stable and GAPDH/ACTB as unsuitable.

Phosphorylation of the Anaphase Promoting Complex activator CDH1/FZR regulates the transition from Meiosis I to Meiosis II in mouse male germ cell

This study shows that phosphorylation of CDH1 is essential for the transition from meiosis I to meiosis II in mouse male germ cells and for spermatogonial stem cell maintenance.

Fetal therapy model of myelomeningocele with three-dimensional skin using amniotic fluid cell-derived induced pluripotent stem cells

This study uses iPSC-derived artificial skin to treat a rat model of myelomeningocele during pregnancy, showing potential for antenatal therapy.
