Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) may aggravate liver fibrosis. In this study, a novel oral targeting nanoemulsion is fabricated to enhance the therapeutic effect of antifibrotic drug‐pirfenidone (PFD) on fibrosis after TACE. Studies have shown that PFD nanoemulsion can enhance the oral liver targeting effect of PFD, and effectively improve the ...

Autoimmunity to hypocretin and molecular mimicry to flu in type 1 narcolepsy
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance This work shows that the amidated terminal ends of the secreted hypocretin (HCRT) peptides (HCRTNH2) are autoantigens in type 1 narcolepsy, an autoimmune disorder targeting HCRT neurons.

Molecular Mimicry by Cytomegaloviruses
Intervirology, 1999 Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) are well known for their high prevalence rate within host populations as well as their ability to induce lifelong infections. To maintain a persistent and stable relationship with their host, CMVs have evolved various molecular mechanisms to both control host cell metabolism and evade immune surveillance.

Hydration Mimicry by Membrane Ion Channels [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Ions transiting biomembranes might pass readily from water through ion-specific membrane proteins if those protein channels provide environments similar to the aqueous solution hydration environment. Indeed, bulk aqueous solution is an important reference condition for the ion permeation process.
