Previously, we reported that an extracellular matrix protein, osteopontin (OPN), is involved in various autoimmune diseases using a neutralizing polyclonal antibody against OPN generated in rabbits. However, the antibody cannot be used for long-term mouse models of chronic inflammatory disease
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major cause for HCC. Hepatitis B virus X (HBx), one of four proteins encoded by HBV genome, plays a vital

The present study was designed to investigate the impact of osteopontin (OPN) in different tissue (e.g., plasma, muscles and bone) on amputation rate (in-hospital and during one year follow-up) for non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). This pilot study consisted of
Biofabrication aims to develop functional, biological constructs using automated processes (additive manufacturing, AM) involving different cell types and biomaterials (Groll et al 2016 Biofabrication 13001 1-6). As bone tissue is based on the crosstalk between osteoblasts and osteoclasts at least
γδ T cells usually infiltrate many different types of cancer, but it is unclear whether they inhibit or promote tumor progression. Moreover, properties of tumor-infiltrating γδ T cells and those in the corresponding normal tissue remain largely unknown. Here we
