Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines Promote the Transcription of Circular RNAs in Human Pancreatic β Cells
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have recently been implicated in impaired β-cell function in diabetes. Using microarray-based profiling of circRNAs in human EndoC-βH1 cells treated with pro-inflammatory cytokines, this study aimed to investigate the expression ...

TNF induces glycolytic shift in fibroblast like synoviocytes via GLUT1 and HIF1A
TNF is a central cytokine in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Elevated level of TNF causes local inflammation that affects immune cells and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS). Nowadays, only 20–30% of patients experience remission after the
