Inactivation of AXL in Cardiac Fibroblasts Alleviates Right Ventricular Remodeling in Pulmonary Hypertension

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive condition with high morbidity and mortality, largely owing to right ventricular (RV) failure resulting from maladaptive remodeling. Our study provides strong evidence in support of a critical, detrimental role for AXL as a previously unrecognized determinant driving RV fibrotic pathology in PH.

Embryological development of the intestine and necrotizing enterocolitis

Journal of Pediatric and Neonatal Individualized Medicine, 2016
It is possible to distinguish two phases in the development and maturation of the intestine: intra-uterine and extra-uterine. Up until the 13th week of the embryological phase, a fetus’ development is not controlled by factors external to the alimentary

Ventilatory Support, Extubation, and Cerebral Perfusion Changes in Pre-Term Neonates: A Near Infrared Spectroscopy Study

Neurotrauma Reports
Early extubation is considered to be beneficial for pre-term neonates. On the other hand, premature extubation can cause lung derecruitment, compromised gas exchange, and need for reintubation, which may be associated with severe brain injury caused by ...

Heat Stress Modulates WDR5‐Mediated H3K4me3 Modification to Induce Melanogenesis via Activating CX3CL1/CX3CR1 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study elucidates the mechanism by which heat stress regulates skin pigmentation: heat stress upregulates CX3CL1 through the MYC‐WDR5‐H3K4me3 axis, thereby activating the CX3CL1/CX3CR1‐JNK signaling pathway and ultimately promoting melanogenesis. These findings provide novel potential therapeutic targets for pigmentary skin disorders.
