Article Title: TiO 2 NPs improve ultrasound response: CS/β-GP/TiO 2 NP hydrogel enabling on-demand administration

doi: 10.3892/br.2025.2020

Figure Lengend Snippet: Western blotting results of different composite hydrogels. The results of western blotting assay revealed no significant differences in cell protein expression among the different groups (P>0.05). PCNA, proliferating cell nuclear antigen; CS/β-GP, chitosan/β-glycerophosphate; TiO 2 NPs, titanium dioxide nanoparticles.

Article Title: Cysteine dioxygenase knockout and taurine deficiency impair mouse uterine adenogenesis by inhibiting epithelial cell proliferation and enhancing apoptosis

doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0329503

Figure Lengend Snippet: (a-d) 10 days taurine supplementation to the Cdo KO mice (KO+Tau) increases the taurine level (a), the number of uterine glands marked by Foxa2 (b, c) and Foxa2 mRNA levels (d) in the uterine tissue. (e) Western Blot detection and analysis of PCNA protein levels in the uteri of the WT, Cdo KO and KO + Tau mice (n ≥ 3). (f) Western blot detection of BAX/BCL2 protein levels (up) and the analysis of BAX/BCL2 ration (down) in the uteri of the WT, Cdo KO and KO + Tau mice. WT: wild type. KO: Cdo KO. PND: Postnatal day. Scale bar represents 20 μm. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
