Nucleic acid spheres for treating capillarisation of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells in liver fibrosis.

Nature communications
Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) lose their characteristic fenestrations and become capillarized during the progression of liver fibrosis. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation can reverse this capillarization and reduce fibrosis, but...

Exploring potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for type 2 diabetes mellitus with major depressive disorder through bioinformatics and in vivo experiments.

Scientific reports
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Major depressive disorder (MDD) act as risk factors for each other, and the comorbidity of both significantly increases the all-cause mortality rate. Therefore, studying the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes with...

Altered aminoacid and lipid metabolism in a rat orofacial inflammation model determined by omics approach: potential role in trigeminal sensitisation.

The journal of headache and pain
BACKGROUND: Trigeminal activation and sensitisation involved in chronic inflammatory orofacial pain share several similarities with headaches, including migraine. Therefore, understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms is important to determine no...

Protein interactions, network pharmacology, and machine learning work together to predict genes linked to mitochondrial dysfunction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Scientific reports
This study looked at possible targets for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a condition marked by thickening of the ventricular wall, primarily in the left ventricle. We employed differential gene analysis and weighted gene co-expression network ana...

Machine learning analysis of FOSL2 and RHoBTB1 as central immunological regulators in knee osteoarthritis synovium.

The Journal of international medical research
BackgroundKnee osteoarthritis is a debilitating disease with a complex pathogenesis. Synovitis, which refers to inflammation of the synovial membrane surrounding the joint, is believed to play an important role in the development and progression of k...

CLIC1 and IFITM2 expression in brain tissue correlates with cognitive impairment via immune dysregulation in sepsis and Alzheimer's disease.

International immunopharmacology
BACKGROUND: Sepsis, a life-threatening condition driven by dysregulated host responses to infection, is associated with long-term cognitive impairments resembling Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the molecular mechanisms linking sepsis-induced cogn...

Assessing the cardioprotective effects of exercise in APOE mouse models using deep learning and photon-counting micro-CT.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: The allelic variations of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene play a critical role in regulating lipid metabolism and significantly impact cardiovascular disease risk (CVD). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of exercise on cardiac stru...

Root of Prunus persica (taoshugen) ameliorated renal fibrosis by inhibiting TGF-β signaling via upregulating Pmepa1 in mice with unilateral ureter obstruction.

Journal of ethnopharmacology
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Various parts of Prunus persica (L.) Batsch (peach) exhibit medicinal properties and are utilized in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for therapeutic purposes. Notably, the root of P. persica, referred to as "taoshug...

The reality of modeling irritable bowel syndrome: progress and challenges.

Expert opinion on drug discovery
INTRODUCTION: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disorder that is often therapeutically challenging. While research has advanced our understanding of IBS pathophysiology, developing precise models to predict drug response and...
