Osteoarthritis is an aging-related systemic disease involving the crosstalk of multiple organs/tissues in metabolism and inflammation, yet little is known about the contribution of liver and marrow adipose tissue (MAT). Here we show that MAT-derived complement factor D (CFD) and component 3 (C3) der...
We integrate zebrafish embryology with photoactivatable caged morpholinos (cMO), the photoactivatable lineage tracer caged fluorescein-dextran (cFD), fluorescence-activated cell-sorting (FACS) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to identify Spadetail-regulated genes in mesodermal cells enriched for early s...
Objective: Shear forces play a key role in the maintenance of vessel wall integrity. Current understanding regarding shear-dependent gene expression is mainly based on in vitro or in vivo observations with experimentally deranged shear, hence reflecting acute molecular events in relation to flow. Ou...
