OBJECTIVES: A knee joint contracture, a loss in passive range of motion (ROM), can be caused by prolonged immobility. In a rat knee immobilization flexion contracture model, the posterior capsule was shown to contribute to an irreversible limitation ...
OBJECTIVE: We investigate the effects of bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7) on models with silica-induced and macrophage-mediated fibrosis and its possible mechanisms in vitro.
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a severe liver disease characterized by lipid accumulation, inflammation and fibrosis. The development of MASH therapies has been hindered by the lack of human translational models and limita...
BACKGROUND: This study performs a detailed bioinformatics and machine learning analysis to investigate the genetic foundations of membranous nephropathy (MN) in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
BACKGROUND: Increasing epidemiologic studies have shown a positive correlation between obesity and chronic diarrhea. Nevertheless, the precise etiology remains uncertain.
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a severe lung condition, and finding better ways to diagnose and treat the disease is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Our study sought to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) model for ...
