Thioredoxin-interacting protein deficiency protects against severe acute pancreatitis by suppressing apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1

254 views | Jul 28 2023

TXNIP, a protein involved in redox reactions and inflammatory responses, plays a significant role in acute pancreatitis by regulating the activation of JNK/p38 pathways and influencing oxidative stress, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target for protecting against severe acute pancreatitis.

The Combination of Sinusoidal Perfusion Enhancement and Apoptosis Inhibition by Riociguat Plus a Galactose-PEGylated Bilirubin Multiplexing Nanomedicine Ameliorates Liver Fibrosis Progression

207 views | Jul 27 2023

The study describes a novel strategy for treating liver fibrosis by combining sinusoidal perfusion enhancement with apoptosis inhibition using riociguat and a hepatocyte-targeting galactose-PEGylated bilirubin nanomedicine (Sel@GBRNPs). [Read the Full Post]

Lumican silencing alleviates tumor necrosis factor-α-induced nucleus pulposus cell inflammation and senescence by inhibiting apoptosis signal regulating kinase 1/p38 signaling pathway via inactivating Fas ligand expression

Zhenqiang Li et al. found that interference with LUM effectively mitigated TNF-α-induced inflammatory response, cell cycle arrest, and cell senescence. [Read the Full Post]

Performance of noninvasive tests of fibrosis among Asians, Hispanic and non-Hispanic Whites in the STELLAR trials

533 views | Feb 11 2022

Vincent Wai-Sun Wong et al. found that the diagnostic performance of routinely available noninvasive tests for the detection of advanced fibrosis due to NASH was acceptable and similar between White and Asian patients. [Read the Full Post]

Structure-based discovery of 1H-indole-2-carboxamide derivatives as potent ASK1 inhibitors for potential treatment of ulcerative colitis

730 views | Feb 23 2021

Shaohua Hou et al. suggested that ASK1 inhibitors could potentially be used as a therapeutic strategy for UC. [Read the Full Post]

Selonsertib, a potential drug for liver failure therapy by rescuing the mitochondrial dysfunction of macrophage via ASK1-JNK-DRP1 pathway

763 views | Feb 22 2021

Guohua Lou et al. thought that selonsertib protected against LPS/GalN-induced ALF by attenuating JNK-mediated DRP1 mitochondrial translocation and then rescuing mitochondrial damage in macrophages and might have therapeutic potential for early ALF patients. [Read the Full Post]
