We demonstrate for the first time that the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-18 stimulates rapid and significant proliferation of SMC derived from human saphenous vein (VSMC), but not coronary artery. IL-18 also stimulates VSMC growth. Further investigations revealed that IL-18-induced VSMC

## Abstract Adhesion of cells to a surface is a basic and important requirement in the fields of cell culture and tissue engineering. Previously, we constructed the cell adhesive, fp‐151‐RGD, by fusion of the hybrid mussel adhesive protein, fp‐151, and GRGDSP peptide, one of the major cell adhesion
## Abstract Dauricine, a bioactive component of Asiatic Moonseed Rhizome, has been widely used to treat a large number of inflammatory diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. In our study, we demonstrated that dauricine inhibited colon cancer cell proliferation and invasion, and induced apoptosis
## Abstract The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) plays a crucial role in neuronal development, regeneration, and synaptic plasticity associated with learning and memory consolidation. Homophilic binding of NCAM leads to neurite extension and neuroprotection in various types of primary neurons t
## Abstract Consil® Bioglass® is a commercially available bioactive glass formulation previously shown in clinical studies to support osteogenesis and the repair of bony defects in dogs and cats. Previous __in vitro__ studies confirm that Consil® particles are able to bond directly with bone while
## Abstract Overexpression of the interleukin‐2 receptor (IL‐2R) α chain in tumor cells is associated with tumor progression and a poor patient prognosis. IL‐2Rα is responsible for the high affinity binding of the receptor to IL‐2, leading to activation of several proliferative and anti‐apoptotic i
