Taking Matou goat ear margin as the study material, we succeeded in established a fibroblast cell line by the method of explant culture directly. Observations on morphology, dynamic growth, determination of viability, analysis of karyotype, test of microorganism and other characteristics were detected. Results showed: Population Doubling Time (PDT) of cells was approximately 36 h; Cell viability was 96.7% after thawing; The status of cell After passage was constant; Analysis of chromosomal karyotyps indicated that diploid (2n=60) account for 98% in the cell line. Every index in the cell line met all the standard quality controls of ATCC in USA. The established of Matou goat ear fibroblast cell line has not only important genetic resources preserved at the cell level, but also valuable material for genome, postgenome and somatic cell nuclear transfer research.

With similar characteristic as nature dentin in structure and function,regenerated dentin is considered to be the ideal material for detected dentin restoration.Accordingly,dentin regeneration is a key issue in oral medicine and biomaterial science.Biomimetic mineralizatioin and remineralization are thus considered as strategies in dentin regeneration.This review is about the research advances of dentin biomimetic remineralization.

The serine/threonine p21-activated kinases (PAKs), as main effectors of the Rho GTPases Cdc42 and Rac, represent a group of important molecular switches linking the complex cytoskeletal networks to broad neural activity. PAKs show wide expression in the brain, but they differ in specific cell types, brain regions, and developmental stages. PAKs play an essential and differential role in controlling neural cytoskeletal remodeling and are related to the development and fate of neurons as well as the structural and functional plasticity of dendritic spines. PAK-mediated actin signaling and interacting functional networks represent a common pathway frequently affected in multiple neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. Considering specific small-molecule agonists and inhibitors for PAKs have been developed in cancer treatment, comprehensive knowledge about the role of PAKs in neural cytoskeletal remodeling will promote our understanding of the complex mechanisms underlying neurological diseases, which may also represent potential therapeutic targets of these diseases.
