Tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIF) is the most prominent cause which leads to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal failure. Despite extensive research, there have been many clinical trial failures, and there is currently no effective treat...
BACKGROUND: The transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF β-1) cytokine exerts both pro-tumor and anti-tumor effects in carcinogenesis. An increasing body of literature suggests that TGF β-1 signaling outcome is partially dependent on the regulatory tar...
The purpose of this study is to examine if aqueous autotaxin (ATX) and TGF-β levels could be used for differentiating glaucoma subtypes. This prospective observational study was performed using aqueous humor samples obtained from 281 consecutive pati...
BACKGROUND: Several pro-oncogenic signals, including transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signalling from tumour microenvironment, generate intratumoural phenotypic heterogeneity and result in tumour progression and treatment failure. However, the...
BACKGROUND: Any ailment in our organs can be visualized by using different modality signals and images. Hospitals are encountering a massive influx of large multimodality patient data to be analysed accurately and with context understanding. The deep...
