Renal fibrosis is a hallmark of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and is characterized by an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) program and aberrant glycolysis. The underlying mechanisms of renal fibr
Gene-expression profiles of hepatic stellate cells isolated from IL15R-alpha knockout mouse IL-15 and its high affinity receptor IL-15Rα are widely expressed in immune cells including dendritic cells
IntroductionThis meta-analysis was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of percutaneous endovascular aortic repair (PEVAR) with endovascular aortic repair by cutdown access (CEVAR) in the treat
BACKGROUND: Liver fibrosis is the common sequel of chronic liver diseases. Recent studies have identified hepatic stellate cells as the primary cell type mediating hepatic fibrogenesis. It has been de
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a devastating disease affecting the skin and internal organs. Dermal fibrosis manifests early and Modified Rodnan Skin Scores (MRSS) correlate with disease progression. Tra
