STUDY DESIGN AND RATIONALE OF EXPLORER-CN: A PHASE III, RANDOMISED, DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED CLINICAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF MAVACAMTEN IN CHINESE ADULTS WITH SYMPTOMATIC OBSTRUCTIVE HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY

Study design and rationale of EXPLORER-CN: a phase III, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mavacamten in Chinese adults with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Introduction Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a primary myocardial disease commonly caused by pathogenic genetic variants encoding sarcomere proteins.Mavacamten, a first-in-class allosteric inhibitor of cardiac-specific myosin, has demonstrated efficacy and safety in international clinical trials of patients with symptomatic obstructive HCM (oH

Increased cell motility and invasion upon knockdown of lipolysis stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) in SW780 bladder cancer cells

Abstract Background Mechanisms underlying the malignant development in bladder cancer are still not well understood.Lipolysis stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) has previously been found to be upregulated by P53.Furthermore, we have previously found LSR to be differentially expressed in bladder cancer.Here we investigated the role of LSR in blad

Redundant CArG Box Cis-motif Activity Mediates SHATTERPROOF2 Transcriptional Regulation during Arabidopsis thaliana Gynoecium Development

In the Arabidopsis thaliana seed pod, pod shatter and seed dispersal properties are in part determined by the development of a longitudinally orientated dehiscence zone (DZ) that derives from cells of the gynoecial valve margin (VM).Transcriptional regulation of the MADS protein encoding transcription factors genes SHATTERPROOF1 (SHP1) and SHATTERP
