GIV/Girdin is a central hub for profibrogenic signalling networks during liver fibrosis. [PDF]

, 2014
Progressive liver fibrosis is characterized by the deposition of collagen by activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Activation of HSCs is a multiple receptor-driven process in which profibrotic signals are enhanced and antifibrotic pathways are ...

Implementation of Drug‐Induced Rhabdomyolysis and Acute Kidney Injury in Microphysiological System

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A modular Muscle–Kidney proximal tubule‐on‐a‐chip integrates 3D skeletal muscle and renal proximal tubule tissues to model drug‐induced rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury. The coculture system enables dynamic tissue interaction, functional contraction monitoring, and quantification of nephrotoxicity, revealing drug side effect‐induced metabolic ...

IL-21 attenuates liver inflammation by enhancing myeloid-derived suppressor cells immunosuppressive function in chronic HBV infection

Journal of Translational Medicine
Background Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection progression is closely associated with repeated inflammatory liver injury. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), known to suppress inflammatory responses during hepatitis, may play a protective ...

Cell-free DNA methylation as liquid biopsy for the assessment of fibrosis in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis: a gap between innovation and implementation [PDF]

, 2017
The presence of cfDNA in the circulating compartment was demonstrated three decades ago , leading to the emergence of liquid biopsy.However, the implementation of cfDNA methylation as a non-invasive molecular tool for the diagnosis of fibrosis imposes ...

Tailoring the Properties of Functional Materials With N‐Oxides

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The properties of materials bearing N‐oxide groups are often dominated by the polar N+─O− bond. It provides hydrophilicity, selective ion‐binding, electric conductivity, or antifouling properties. Many of the underlying mechanisms have only recently been discovered, and the interest in N‐oxide materials is rapidly growing.

Injectable Dual‐Network Hydrogel System for Osteochondral Repair Combining Immunomodulation, Mechanical Adaptability, and Enhanced Tissue Integration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A UV‐triggered injectable dual‐network hydrogel is reported as the first application of bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP) in osteochondral repair. By integrating methacrylamide‐modified BSP and nitrobenzaldehyde‐functionalized hyaluronic acid, the system achieves immunomodulation, mechanical reinforcement, and dynamic tissue adhesion, thereby ...

TAK1-dependent autophagy: A suppressor of fatty liver disease and hepatic oncogenesis. [PDF]

, 2014
In addition to regulating the activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), TGF-β activated kinase 1 (TAK1) also upregulates the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and autophagy.
