Metformin Alleviates Lipopolysaccharide-induced Acute Lung Injury through Suppressing Toll-like Receptor 4 Signaling.

Iranian journal of allergy, asthma, and immunology
Signaling AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an energy sensing enzyme, has been implicated in controlling inflammation. In this study we investigated whether activation of AMPK by metformin could protect the lung from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induc...

Genome wide predictions of miRNA regulation by transcription factors.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Reconstructing regulatory networks from expression and interaction data is a major goal of systems biology. While much work has focused on trying to experimentally and computationally determine the set of transcription-factors (TFs) and m...

Schwann Cell and Axon: An Interlaced Unit-From Action Potential to Phenotype Expression.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
Here we propose a model of a peripheral axon with a great deal of autonomy from its cell body-the autonomous axon-but with a substantial dependence on its ensheathing Schwann cell (SC), the axon-SC unit. We review evidence in several fields and show ...

LncRNA ontology: inferring lncRNA functions based on chromatin states and expression patterns.

Oncotarget
Accumulating evidences suggest that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) perform important functions. Genome-wide chromatin-states area rich source of information about cellular state, yielding insights beyond what is typically obtained by transcriptome pr...

Effect of Mast Cell Chymase on Activation, Proliferation and Transdifferentiation of Hepatic Stellate Cells.

Hepato-gastroenterology
BACKGROUND/AIMS: This work aims to observe the effects of mast cell (MC) chymase on activation, proliferation and transdifferentiation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and to discuss the role of chymase in development of liver fibrosis.
