Abstract Background Subcortical ischemic vascular dementia (SIVD) is a common subtype of vascular dementia. Currently, the bilateral common carotid artery stenosis (BCAS) mouse model is the most suitable SIVD rodent model. In this study, we investigated the functional and structural impairments in t...

As a protein structurally similar to insulin, relaxin3 (RLN3) plays a role in promoting arousal, suppressing depressive or anxious behaviors. Two studies revealed the increase of RLN3 expression during chicken follicle selection. In this study, by real-time quantitative PCR and luciferase assay, mRN...

T lymphocytes consist of αβ and γδ T cells, which mature and differentiate from the same progenitor cells in the thymus. Cullin-RING ligases (CRLs), the largest family of ubiquitin ligases, require neddylation on the scaffold protein Cullins for their ligase activity. The role of neddylation–CRL sys...
