Background:Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is a health problem due to multi-drug resistance(MDR).Codelivery of multiple oncotherapy in one cargo as chimeric cancer therapy(CCT)is suggested as a solution for MDR.This stud...
Stem cells are present in the tissues and organs and remain in a quiescent and undifferentiated state until it is physiologically necessary to produce new descendant cells.Due to their multipotency property,mesenchyma...

BACKGROUND As a critical early event in hepatocellular carcinogenesis,telomerase activation might be a promising and critical biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)patients,and its function in the genesis and tre...
Objective:To construct methotrexate(MTX)-chitosan(CS)-chuanxiongmuizine(TMP)nano-delivery system MTX-CS-TMP-NPs,and to investigate its effect on the telomerase activity of cervical cancer Hela cells.Methods:MTX-CS and...

Background: Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling is the most important pathomechanism of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Fibroblasts are the key to ECM regulation. The passaging capacity of human vaginal wall fibroblast...
Telomerase is an enzyme that maintains the length of telomeres at the ends of chromosomes.Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that keep genetic information intact,enable cells to multiply and prov...
Most people associate the enzyme telomerase with its role in maintaining telomeres,which is its best-known canonical role.For this important function,two main components are required:the protein telomerase reve rse tr...
