Abstract
Neuronal guidance cues attract or repel axons and/or neurons and play important roles in the pathfinding of neuronal networks and the functioning of nervous system. Prominent among them are the families of ephrins, semaphorins, Slits and netrins and their cognate cell-surface receptors. Due to their biological significance, extensive research has been carried out in the last ten years or so. Angiogenesis is a cellular process of capillary sprouting and configuring of neovasculatures, which shares many developmental, anatomical, physiological and pathophysiological features with the neural counterparts. This review will summarize the emerging evidence indicating the common molecular mechanisms underlying both axon guidance (including neuronal migration) and angiogenesis for exquisite regulation of proper wiring of both systems.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
