Galectin-14 Promotes Trophoblast Migration and Invasion by Upregulating the Expression of MMP-9 and N-Cadherin

Galectin-14 is specifically expressed in placental trophoblasts, and its expression is reduced in trophoblasts retrieved from the cervix of women destined to develop early pregnancy loss.However, the roles of galectin-14 in regulating trophoblasts and in the pathogenesis of pregnancy complication have never been investigated.In the current research

Integration of phage and yeast display platforms: A reliable and cost effective approach for binning of peptides as displayed on-phage.

Hundreds of target specific peptides are routinely discovered by peptide display platforms.However, due to the high cost of peptide synthesis only a limited number of peptides are chemically made for further analysis.Here we describe an accurate and cost effective method to bin peptides on-phage based on binding region(s), without any requirement f
