Project description:Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a huge health burden in China, tongue diagnosis is the premise of personalized treatment of CHB by traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). The modern biological interpretation of pathological TCM tongue coating manifestation is unclear We performed transcriptional analysis in CHB patients with white tongue coating(WTC) or yellow tongue coating(YTC) to explain the potential inner biological differences
Project description:We aimed to understand the molecular basis of muscular development in tongue. We focused on the critical stages of tongue myogenesis, namely, E10.5 (settlement of myogenic progenitors in tongue primordium), E11.5 (initiation of myoblast differentiation with the development of lateral lingual swellings).
