Nuclear Factor I‐B Delays Liver Fibrosis by Inhibiting Chemokine Ligand 5 Transcription
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 ...

Studies relating to protein expression in the uterus of the cow [PDF]
End of project reportEmbryo loss is a major cause of reproductive wastage in the cow. The majority of embryo loss occurs in the first 16 days after fertilisation when the embryo is critically dependent on the maternal uterine environment for survival ...

Does urinary peptide content differ between COPD patients with and without inherited alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency? [PDF]
Differentiating between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with normal (PiMM) or deficient (PiZZ) genetic variants of alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) is important not only for understanding the pathobiology of disease progression but also ...

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Retinol-binding protein 4 and its potential roles in hypercholesterolemia revealed by proteomics [PDF]
Effects of hypercholesterolemia on alterations of serum proteins have not been fully elucidated. Herein, using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) in conjunction with LC-MS searching has successfully been carried out to investigate the change of ...

Exploring the Anti‐Diabetic Potential of Anthocyanins: From Biochemical Pathways to Human Trials
ABSTRACT Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health challenge with increasing prevalence rates, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Anthocyanins (ACs) are potential bioactive compounds found in various fruits and vegetables, attracting the attention of researchers due to their possible role in managing diabetes and its complications ...

Depressed plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP) in cystic fibrosis (CF) [PDF]
Decreased plasma levels with normal or increased liver stores of vitamin A were reported previously in CF patients orally supplemented with water-miscible vitamin A. These findings suggested a defect in the mechanism by which vitamin A is transported from the liver in patients with CF.

MOLECULAR DOCKING OF AMITRIPTYLINE TO CERULOPLASMIN, RETINOL-BINDING PROTEIN, AND SERUM ALBUMIN
Objective: A drug’s efficiency depends on the binding capacity of the drug with the particular plasma protein. The less bound drug can be easily diffused through cell membranes.

Prostate cancer, a leading cause of cancer in men globally, urgently requires improved diagnostic and treatment strategies. This study analyzed large genetic datasets and identified five key proteins (THBD, DST, IFI27L2, OSBPL10, PPP1R14A) that either increase or decrease cancer risk, while also exploring their roles in immune response and potential ...
