The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID‐19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), has become a global pandemic. Until 13 September 2020, SARS‐CoV‐2 caused more than twenty eight million infections and nine hundred thousand deaths worldwide. SARS‐CoV‐2 uses angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) for cell entry into various lung cells including endothelial cells and alveolar

Upon entry into the lungs, SARS‐CoV‐2 uses the angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor to facilitate viral entry into the epithelial cells that cover the airways and the alveolar gas‐exchanging space, leading to extensive epithelial injury, which contributes to local inflammatory storm and a series of respiratory syndromes.1 A number of drugs, based on their modes of action, have been suggested

Immunodeficient mice injected with human cancer cell lines have been used for human oncology studies and anti‐cancer drug trials for several decades. However, rodents are not ideal species for modelling human cancer because rodents are physiologically dissimilar to humans. Therefore, anti‐tumour drugs tested effective in rodents have a failure rate of 90% or higher in phase III clinical trials. Pigs

‘Requirements for Human Embryonic Stem Cells’ is the first set of guidelines on human embryonic stem cells in China, jointly drafted and agreed upon by experts from the Chinese Society for Stem Cell Research. This standard specifies the technical requirements, test methods, test regulations, instructions for use, labelling requirements, packaging requirements, storage requirements and transportation

NCOA6 is a transcription coactivator; its deletion in mice results in growth retardation and lethality between 8.5 and 12.5 dpc with defects in the placenta. However, the transcription factor(s) and the mechanism(s) involved in the function of NCOA6 in placentation have not been elucidated. Here, the roles of NCOA6 in human cytotrophoblast invasion and migration were studied.

Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging RNA regulators in cancer progression, including in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Recently, insufficient radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been reported to lead to recurrence and metastasis of residual HCC tumours. Herein, we aimed to the role of ASMTL‐AS1 in residual HCC after insufficient RFA.

Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated as crucial regulators in cancer, but whether they are involved in the immune response of cancer cells remains largely undiscovered. GATA3‐AS1 is a novel lncRNA that was upregulated in breast cancer (BC) according to online databases. However, its role in triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) was elusive.
