research Calcineurin-Based Immunosuppression in Renal Transplantation: Focus on Efficacy, the Role of Steroids, and Cardiovascular Risk
Tacrolimus causes fewer acute rejections than cyclosporin A in kidney transplants but doesn't necessarily improve kidney function after one year; cardiovascular risks and side effects vary between the two drugs.
research Stabilization of Beta-Catenin Promotes Melanocyte Specification at the Expense of the Schwann Cell Lineage
Activating β-catenin increases melanocytes and decreases Schwann cells.
research Nicotinic Acid Suppresses Sebaceous Lipid Synthesis of Human Sebocytes via Activating Hydroxycarboxylic Acid Receptor 2 (HCA2)
