    Abstract: SPG4 gene encodes Spastin, and its mutations are the main cause of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). There are more than 50 gene mutations in HSP, and mutations of Spastin account for more than 40%, so SPG4 is the key gene that causes the disease. In order to clarify the effect on microtubule stability after inactivation of AAA functional domain... Show More

    Abstract: MDS1 and EVI1 complex locus protein EVI1 (MECOM) is an oncogenic transcription factor in many types of cancer. However, the clinical significance of MECOM in esophagogastric cancer has not been well elucidated. The aim of this study was to define the association of amplification of MECOM and esophagogastric cancer patients’ overall survival rate an... Show More

    Abstract: Many researchers revealed that dermal fibroblast which mainly synthesis the collagen and elastin in dermis were affects by skin ageing, such as the proliferation rate and gene expression level. Oligopeptides were verified by many reports on anti-aging focus on collagen synthesis, but few literatures revealed the molecular mechanism of oligopeptides... Show More
