Th2-Associated Alternative Kupffer Cell Activation Promotes Liver Fibrosis without Inducing Local Inflammation

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2011
Cirrhosis is the final outcome of liver fibrosis. Kupffer cell-mediated hepatic inflammation is considered to aggravate liver injury and fibrosis. Alternatively-activated macrophages are able to control chronic inflammatory events and trigger wound ...

The influence of portal blood upon lipid metabolism in normal and diabetic dogs and baboons [PDF]

, 1975
It has been reported that hyperlipidemia can be alleviated in human beings with an end to side portacaval shunt. Understanding the mechanism of the effect has important implications, including the possibility of devising other ways of lowering serum ...

Multidisciplinary Strategies for Targeting Tumor Dormancy in Breast Cancer Therapeutics: Hallmarks, Mechanism, and Approaches

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
Clinical phases and classification of breast tumor dormancy. Tumor dormancy is described as the period after treatment until residual tumor cells become detectable as relapsing disease in clinic. During the period of clinical tumor dormancy, tumor mass dormancy and cellular dormancy may coexist.

The Role and Therapeutic Potential of Voltage‐Gated Potassium Channel Kv1.3 in Metabolism‐Related Disorders

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past three decades, the global burden of common metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and atherosclerosis has steadily increased, becoming a serious public health issue that poses a major threat to human health worldwide. Potassium channels, particularly the voltage‐gated Kv1.3 subtype, serve as critical regulators of cellular

N6‐Methyladenosine (m6A) in Liver Disease: Pathogenic Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accumulating evidence highlights the critical role of epigenetic modifications, particularly N6‐methyladenosine (m6A), in liver disease. As the most abundant RNA modification in eukaryotic cells, m6A is dynamically regulated by multicomponent m6A methyltransferases (e.g., METTL3 and METTL14), demethylases (FTO and ALKBH5), and m6A‐binding ...

Subchronic Exposure to Arsenic and Nickel Triggers Nitrosative Stress and Histological Alterations in the Rat Liver

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental exposure to heavy metals poses a threat to human health. Several studies documented harmful effects on the liver after arsenic and nickel exposure at concentrations beyond permissible limits. Nevertheless, the impact of a simultaneous exposure to both elements on hepatic biochemistry and histology remains unelucidated. Therefore,
