Together, we found that light compressive forces activate β-catenin and MAPK signaling pathways. Adiponectin regulates β-catenin signaling principally by inactivating the GSK-3β kinase activity. β-Catenin expression was partially inhibited by MAPK blockade, indicating that MAPK plays a crucial role regulating β-catenin during cementogenesis. Moreover, adiponectin modulates GSK-3β and β-catenin mostly through AdipoR1. P38α is a key connector between β-catenin, TCF/LEF transcription, and MAPK signaling pathway.Mitochondria are involved in energy metabolism and redox reactions in the cell. Emerging data indicate that mitochondria play an essential role in physiological and pathological processes of neonatal lung development. Mitochondrial damage due to exposure to high concentrations of oxygen is an indeed important factor for simplification of lung structure and development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), as reported in humans and rodent models. Here, we comprehensively review research that have determined the effects of oxygen environment on alveolar development and morphology, summarize changes in mitochondria under high oxygen concentrations, and discuss several mitochondrial mechanisms that may affect cell plasticity and their effects on BPD. Thus, the pathophysiological effects of mitochondria may provide insights into targeted mitochondrial and BPD therapy.The spinal cord dorsal horn is a major station for integration and relay of somatosensory information and comprises both excitatory and inhibitory neuronal populations. The homeobox gene Tlx3 acts as a selector gene to control the development of late-born excitatory (dILB) neurons by specifying glutamatergic transmitter fate in dorsal spinal cord. However, since Tlx3 direct transcriptional targets remain largely unknown, it remains to be un
