Notch pathway regulation of chondrocyte differentiation and proliferation during appendicular and axial skeleton development.

abstract：:Development of therapy against infections caused by antibiotic-resistant pathogens is a major unmet need in contemporary medicine. In previous work, our group chemically modified an antimicrobial peptidomimetic motif for targeted applications against cancer and obesity. Here, we show that the modified motif per se is ...
