A rapid versatile microassay for cellular retinol-binding protein using Lipidex-1000 microcolumns.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1990 A new, rapid and versatile microassay for cellular retinol-binding protein has been developed based on separation of bound and free ligand by means of Lipidex-1000, a hydrophobic Sephadex derivative.

The retina visual cycle is driven by cis retinol oxidation in the outer segments of cones [PDF]
, 2017 Vertebrate rod and cone photoreceptors require continuous supply of chromophore for regenerating their visual pigments after photoactivation. Cones, which mediate our daytime vision, demand a particularly rapid supply of 11-cis retinal chromophore in ...

Nuclear Factor I‐B Delays Liver Fibrosis by Inhibiting Chemokine Ligand 5 Transcription
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies the transcription factor Nuclear Factor I‐B (NFIB) as a key suppressor of liver fibrosis. NFIB expression declines during hepatic stellate cell activation, and its overexpression reduces fibrosis in mice models. The mechanism involves NFIB directly repressing chemokine C─C motif ligand 5 (CCL5), thereby alleviating oxidative ...
