Using S100a9 Knockout Mice to Identify Therapeutic Targets for MI/R Injury
Jul 10, 2020
The human S100A9 gene encodes the S100 calcium-binding protein A9 (S100A9). In mammals, S100A8 and S100A9 proteins form a heterodimer known as calprotectin. Calprotectin is involved in the inflammatory process - it is known to be present as a soluble protein in the cytosol of neutrophil granulocytes, and is found in lower concentrations among in monocytes, macrophages, and squamous epithelial cells.

From Bats to Humans: How SARS-CoV-2 Jumped Across Species
Jun 29, 2020
Although the origin of the new coronavirus remains inconclusive, according to the analysis of existing genomic data, the scientific community has drawn preliminary conclusions that bats may be the reservoir species for the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). If this view is proved to be credible, how does the virus jump from a bat to a human? Read More >

MyD88 Signaling Pathway & IL-33 Induced Immune Response
Jun 08, 2020
The MYD88 gene encodes a cytosolic adapter protein, MyD88, which is involved in signaling for both the innate and adaptive immune response. The MyD88 adapter protein is essential for transducing signals in the interleukin-1 (IL-1) and toll-like receptor (TLR) pathways, which regulate activation of proinflammatory genes, and stimulating signaling molecules that activate interacting proteins called nuclear factor-kappa-B (NF-κB).

Animal Models of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Steatohepatitis (NASH)
Jun 04, 2020
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a hepatopathy syndrome affecting both adults and children, is characterized by a range of liver conditions affecting people who consume little to no alcohol, including simple fatty liver, steatohepatitis, fatty liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis. NAFLD can progress from simple fatty liver through nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) to liver fibrosis, and even lead to end-stage liver diseases, such as, liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or liver failure.
