Protective Role of trans-Chalcone against the Progression from Simple Steatosis to Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis: Regulation of miR-122, 21, 34a, and 451 [PDF]
Purpose: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an inflammatory disorder and an aggressive form of fatty liver disease. Certain microRNAs, including miR-122, 21, 34a, and 451, are involved in the transition from steatosis to NASH.

A review on synthetic chalcone derivatives as tubulin polymerisation inhibitors
Microtubules play an important role in the process of cell mitosis and can form a spindle in the mitotic prophase of the cell, which can pull chromosomes to the ends of the cell and then divide into two daughter cells to complete the process of mitosis ...

Identification and Functional Characterization of Fungal Chalcone Synthase and Chalcone Isomerase
By mining fungal genomic information, a noncanonical iterative type I PKS fused with an N-terminal adenylation-thiolation didomain, which catalyzes the formation of naringenin chalcone, was found. Structural prediction and molecular docking analysis indicated that a C-terminal thioesterase domain was involved in the Claisen-type cyclization.
