Deubiquitination of CDC6 by OTUD6A promotes tumour progression and chemoresistance
Abstract Background CDC6 is an oncogenic protein whose expression level fluctuates during the cell cycle.Although several E3 ubiquitin ligases responsible for the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of CDC6 have been identified, the deubiquitination pathway for CDC6 has not been investigated.Methods The proteome-wide deubiquitinase (DUB) screening was u
Compression-rate-dependent nonlinear mechanics of normal and impaired porcine knee joints
Abstract Background The knee joint performs mechanical functions with various loading and unloading processes.Past studies have focused on the kinematics and elastic response of the joint with less understanding of the rate-dependent load response associated with viscoelastic and poromechanical behaviors.Methods Forty-five fresh porcine knee joints
