Role of Hmbox1 in Endothelial Differentiation of Bone-Marrow Stromal Cells by a Small Molecule by Le Su (276777)

“…Small interfering RNA knockdown of Hmbox1 blocked ABO-induced BMSC differentiation and increased the level of IP-10 but decreased Ets-1. Thus, ABO is a novel inducer for BMSC differentiation to VECs, and Hmbox1 is a key factor in the differentiation. …”

Involvement of a <em>Toxoplasma gondii</em> Chromatin Remodeling Complex Ortholog in Developmental Regulation by Peggy J. Rooney (219183)

“…In the C9 mutant, <em>TgRSC8</em> is the downstream open reading frame on a dicistronic transcript. Though protein was expressed from the downstream gene of the dicistron, TgRSC8 levels were decreased in C9 from those of wild-type parasites, as determined by western immunoblot and flow cytometry. …”
