    We investigated the mechanisms that cause EPHB2 down-regulation in colorectal cancer. In this study, we demonstrate that DNA hypermethylation was not responsible for the frequent loss of EPHB2 expression in colorectal cancer. Cloning and functional characterization of the EPHB2 gene 5'-flanking regi...

    We investigated whether inhibiting complement activation in C3-deficient mice would reduce secondary injury after SCI and improve axon regeneration. Weight-drop contusion injury (5g, 6cm) was created in wild-type or C3-deficient mice. Astrocytes (ASTs) activation, TNF-alpha expression, and axon rege...
