Promoter-level expression clustering identifies time development of transcriptional regulatory cascades initiated by ERBB receptors in breast cancer cells

The analysis of CAGE (Cap Analysis of Gene Expression) time-courses has been applied to examine the dynamics of enhancer and promoter by sequentially...

Poly-arginine and arginine-rich peptides are neuroprotective in stroke models

Using cortical neuronal cultures and glutamic acid excitotoxicity and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) stroke models, we demonstrated that poly-arginine and...
