In the present study, we created the weight gain models with Min and Yorkshire pigs and conducted the metagenomics and metabolomics of colon contents and transcriptomics of colon tissue. Further, we revealed the characteristics and functions of the colonic microbiota in Min and Yorkshire pigs and analyzed their interactions with the host. Overall, this

The role of PAF in immunopathology: From immediate hypersensitivity reactions to fungal defense
Abstract Platelet‐activating factor (PAF, 1‐alkyl‐2‐acetyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphorylcholine) was discovered when the mechanisms involved in the deposition of immune complex in tissues were being scrutinized in the experimental model of rabbit serum sickness.

Molecular and cellular paradigms of multidrug resistance in cancer
Abstract Background The acquisition of resistance to chemotherapy is a major hurdle in the successful application of cancer therapy. Several anticancer approaches, including chemotherapies, radiotherapy, surgery and targeted therapies are being employed for the treatment of cancer.

Inhibition of Tendon Cell Proliferation and Matrix Glycosaminoglycan Synthesis by Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in vitro [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of some commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on human tendon. Explants of human digital flexor and patella tendons were cultured in medium containing pharmacological ...

Synthetic electric fields and phonon damping in carbon nanotubes and graphene [PDF]
Smoothly varying lattice strain in graphene affects the Dirac carriers through a synthetic gauge field. When the lattice strain is time dependent, as in connection with phononic excitations, the gauge field becomes time dependent and the synthetic vector potential is also associated with an electric field. We show that this synthetic electric field has

A high-throughput mass spectrometric assay for discovery of human lipoxygenase inhibitors and allosteric effectors. [PDF]
Lipoxygenases (LOXs) regulate inflammation through the production of a variety of molecules whose specific downstream effects are not entirely understood due to the complexity of the inflammation pathway.

In this work, we demonstrated that PUM70 specifically suppressed LPS‐mediated inflammatory responses. Notably, PUM70 treatment inhibited LPS‐induced lung damage, pro‐inflammatory cytokine production, and reduced macrophage infiltration in the lungs. Mechanistically, PUM70 suppressed LPS‐induced inflammation and oxidative stress via the Nrf2/HO‐1 and ...

Synthetic Tait Computability the Hard Way [PDF]
We walk through a few proofs of canonicity and normalization, each one with more aspects dissected and re-expressed in category theory, so that readers can compare the difference across proofs. During this process we isolate the different ideas that make up the proofs. Finally we arrive at synthetic Tait computability as proposed by J. Sterling.

Amyloid proteotoxicity initiates an inflammatory response blocked by cannabinoids. [PDF]
The beta amyloid (Aβ) and other aggregating proteins in the brain increase with age and are frequently found within neurons. The mechanistic relationship between intracellular amyloid, aging and neurodegeneration is not, however, well understood.

Increased liver content of DHA‐derived small lipid autacoids (i.e resolvin D1 and maresin 1) associates with enhanced mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid β‐oxidation and bioenergetic metabolic flux. These features provide hepatic protection from steatotic, pro‐inflammatory and fibrogenic insults.
