The supramolecular polymers based on 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidone (UPy) with different structure were prepared and the effects of microtopography on the viscoelasticity were investigated.
Thermo-responsive supramolecular polymer/MWCNTs composite materials were prepared by a spraying procedure and used as waterproof strain sensors with NIR-induced underwater healability.
BackgroundBladder cancer (BLCA) is a malignant urothelial carcinoma and has a high mortality rate. EPDR1 (ependymin related 1) is a type II transmembrane protein and related to calcium-dependent cell adhesion.MethodsWe explored the potential oncogenic roles of EPDR1 in BLCA basing on the multiple public datasets.ResultsWe found that EPDR1 expression had a significant difference in BLCA and adjacent normal bladder tissues, and the level of EPDR1was up-regulated with advanced tumor stage and metastasis in BLCA. Meanwhile, the high expression group of EPDR1 had a shorter OS compared to the low or medium expression-group. Furthermore, EPDR1 expression was associated with tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs), including NK cells, CD8 + T cells, CD4 + T cells, Macrophages cells, and so on. Moreover, EPDR1 also involved in several signaling pathways as well as PI3K/AKT pathway, Cytokine receptor interaction, and apoptosis.ConclusionEPDR1 can be used as a novel prognostic biomarker as well as an effective target for diagnosis and treatment in BLCA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
