Background: Notch1 – Delta-like ligand 4 (Dll4) signaling pathway has a biological effect of negative feedback regulation to VEGF in retinal vascular development process. There are few studies on the inhibition of Notch1-Dll4 signaling pathway in ROP and the regulatory pathway of VEGF.Objective and hypotheses: 67-day-old mice were divided into oxygen-induced retinopathy group and control group. We took ten mice from each group at postnatal day 7 (p7...

Background: Notch1-Delta-like ligand 4 (Dll4) signalling pathway has a biological effect of negative feedback regulation to VEGF in retinal vascular development process. There are few studies on the inhibition of Notch1-Dll4 signalling pathway in ROP and the regulatory pathway of VEGF.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the role that Notch1-DLL4 signal pathway played in the oxygen-induced retinal neovascularization of mice by analyzing the expressio...

The genetic disorder Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is mainly caused by the loss of multiple paternally expressed genes in chromosome 15q11-q13 (the PWS region). Early diagnosis of PWS is essential for timely treatment, leading to effectively easing some clinical symptoms. Molecular approaches for PWS diagnosis at the DNA level are available, but the diagnosis of PWS at the RNA level has been limited. Here, we show that a cluster of paternally transcribed snoRNA-ended long noncod...
