HDAC6 regulates dental mesenchymal stem cells and osteoclast differentiation.
BMC Oral Health
November 2018
Background: Dental and periodontal tissue development is a complicated process involving a finely regulated network of communication among various cell types. Understanding the mechanisms involved in regulating dental mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osteoclast cell differentiation is critical. However, it is still unclear whether histone deacetylase HDAC6 is involved in dental MSCs fate determination and osteoclast differentiation.

- * Researchers extracted gDNA from Psoroptes and Otodectes mites and analyzed rDNA ITS2 and mtDNA COI sequences to improve classification, finding rDNA ITS2 more effective for distinguishing between genera and species.
- * The study revealed that while genetic distinctions based on host species were significant, geographical isolation did not play a role in differentiating certain mite species that parasitize similar animals like dogs and cats.
Objectives: Digit ratio, especially second-to-fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) is established in utero and is positively correlated with oestrogen in men and women. It is a putative biomarker for prenatal hormone exposure and may represent an individual predisposition to certain diseases (e.g.

Objective: To investigate the immune response and the protection in mice induced by the recombinant myophilin protein of Echinococcus granulosus.
Methods: Thirty-six male ICR mice of 6-8 weeks old were randomly divided into groups A, B and C each with 12. The mice in the 3 groups were subcutaneously immunized with Eg myophilin protein, blank plasmid protein or PBS, respectively, by 3 times and challenged with protoscoleces of E.
Background: Digit ratio, especially second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) is lower in men than in women. The ratios of digit may be established in utero and is negatively correlated with sperm counts and testosterone in men and positively correlated with estrogen in men and women.
Aim: To study whether the digit ratio (especially 2D:4D) are associated with the a+b ratio of sperm number in Chinese populations.
