This study aimed to investigate the effect of thalidomide (Thal) regulating microRNA (miR)-524-5p/follistatin-like protein 1 (FSTL1) on the invasion ability of gastric cancer cells. For this purpose, real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) w...
BACKGROUND: Anesthesia is a major component of surgery and recently considered an important regulator of cell phenotypes. Here we aimed to investigate propofol, an anesthesia drug, in suppressing pancreatic cancer (PDAC), focusing on A disintegrin an...
PURPOSE: Andecaliximab (GS-5745) is a highly selective monoclonal antibody against matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9), a proteolytic enzyme implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study assessed the safety and pharmacokinetic...
6-Gingerol is the major active constituent of ginger. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying the effects of 6-Gingerol on hair growth. Mice were randomly divided into five groups; after hair depilation (day 0), mice w...
