Clinical Presentation of the Longest Reported Living Individual With Bent Bone Dysplasia—FGFR2‐Related

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The FGFR2 gene, encoding the FGFR2 protein, plays a crucial role in embryonic cell development, particularly in bone tissue. Bent Bone Dysplasia (BBD), FGFR2‐related (MIM# 614592), is a rare severe skeletal dysplasia characterized by craniofacial differences, reduced bone mineral density, and bowed long bones.

Targeting the Nrf2/TGF‐β1/Smad Signaling Pathway: A Novel Strategy for Urolithin A to Alleviate Renal Fibrosis

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
The diagram of the mechanism of action by which UroA regulates RF. ABSTRACT The global prevalence and mortality rates associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been on a continuous rise over recent decades. Renal fibrosis (RF) serves as a critical factor in the progression of CKD to end‐stage renal disease.

Metformin Prevents Renal Fibrosis in Mice with Unilateral Ureteral Obstruction and Inhibits Ang II-Induced ECM Production in Renal Fibroblasts

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016
Renal fibrosis is the final common pathway of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and no effective medication is available clinically for managing its progression. Metformin was initially developed as an anti-diabetic drug and recently gained attention for its

Isorhamnetin Alleviates Renal Fibrosis Induced by Renal Tubular Epithelial Cell Senescence Via Inhibition of the IL‐6/IL‐6R Signaling Pathway

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
IL‐6 from RTECs upregulates TGF‐β in macrophages, promoting fibroblast transdifferentiation. Isorhamnetin inhibits this effect. ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global health issue. Kidney fibrosis is a key mechanism leading to end‐stage renal disease.
