Elucidation of xenobiotic metabolism pathways in human skin and human skin models by proteomic profiling [PDF]
Human skin has the capacity to metabolise foreign chemicals (xenobiotics), but knowledge of the various enzymes involved is incomplete. A broad-based unbiased proteomics approach was used to describe the profile of xenobiotic metabolising enzymes present

Estrogen pathway polymorphisms in relation to primary open angle glaucoma: An analysis accounting for gender from the United States [PDF]
Purpose Circulating estrogen levels are relevant in glaucoma phenotypic traits. We assessed the association between an estrogen metabolism single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panel in relation to primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), accounting for gender.

The transcriptome of metamorphosing flatfish [PDF]
Background Flatfish metamorphosis denotes the extraordinary transformation of a symmetric pelagic larva into an asymmetric benthic juvenile. Metamorphosis in vertebrates is driven by thyroid hormones (THs), but how they orchestrate the cellular ...

Sulfatase-2 Regulates Liver Fibrosis through the TGF-β Signaling Pathway
Simple Summary Liver fibrosis and/or cirrhosis is a major risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatic Fibrogenesis is the result of an excessive production and deposition of extracellular matrix by hepatic myofibroblasts, which are primarily formed
