Biosensing platform combining label-free and labelled analysis using Bloch surface waves [PDF]
Bloch surface waves (BSW) propagating at the boundary of truncated photonic crystals (1D-PC) have emerged as an attractive approach for label-free sensing in plasmon-like sensor configurations.

Influence of lipopolysaccharide on proinflammatory gene expression in human corneal, conjunctival and meibomian gland epithelial cells [PDF]
PURPOSE: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a bacterial endotoxin, is known to stimulate leuokotriene B4 (LTB4) secretion by human corneal (HCECs), conjunctival (HConjECs) and meibomian gland (HMGECs) epithelial cells.

LILRB2/PirB mediates macrophage recruitment in fibrogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis
Inhibition of immunocyte infiltration and activation has been suggested to effectively ameliorate nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B (PirB) and its human ortholog receptor, leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B (

MON-097 Angiopoietin-Like Protein 8 (ANGPTL8) Levels in Thai Subjects with Hyperalphalipoproteinemia
Background Hyperalphalipoprtoteinemia (HALP) is primarily caused by loss-of-function mutations in key genes in the reverse cholesterol transport pathway (RCT) such as cholesteryl ester transfer protein, hepatic lipase, and endothelial lipase. Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) is a natural inhibitor of hepatic lipase and endothelial lipase.

Downregulated angiopoietin-like protein 8 production at calving related to changes in lipid metabolism in dairy cows. [PDF]
Acute physiological adaptation of lipid metabolism during the postpartum transition period of cows facilitates peripheral metabolic regulation. Hepatokines, which are hormones secreted from hepatocytes, are presumed to play a critical role in systemic metabolic regulation.

Hypoxia helps glioma to fight therapy [PDF]
Despite major improvements in the surgical management the prognosis for patients bearing malignant gliomas is still dismal. Malignant gliomas are notoriously resistant to treatment and the survival time of patients is between 3-8 years for low-grade and

Angiopoietin-like 3 inhibition of endothelial lipase is not modulated by angiopoietin-like 8
High plasma triglyceride (TG) levels and low HDL-C levels are risk factors for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Both plasma TG and HDL-C levels are regulated in part by the circulating inhibitor, angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3). ANGPTL3 inhibits

Association of the angiopoietin-like protein 8 rs2278426 polymorphism and several environmental factors with serum lipid levels. [PDF]
The present study was performed to examine the association of the angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) rs2278426 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and several environmental factors with serum lipid profiles in the Mulao and Han populations. A total of 879 individuals of the Mulao ethnic group and 865 individuals of the Han Chinese ethnic group were
