Our study aimed to identify the role of RGS20 in NSCLC prognosis and delineate associated cellular and

Before focusing on the development of innovative mathematical modeling and simulation methods for drug They explored the potential of merging mathematical models with biology, the complexities of GPCRs within Integrating Mathematical Models and Biology: A Fascinating Discussion Yamina and Aurelien Rizk had a conversation about the importance of merging mathematical models and biology. and relevance of mathematical models in systems biology and pharmacology.

Here we used zebrafish and mouse models to probe the role of BLT2 in macrophage function during inflammation We detected BLT2 expression in bone marrow derived and peritoneal macrophages of mouse models. Using a zebrafish model of tailfin injury, we demonstrated that antisense morpholino-mediated knockdown We further replicated these findings in zebrafish models of islet injury and liver inflammation.
