Current and Potential Therapies Targeting Inflammation in NASH

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the advanced form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It is characterized by hepatic steatosis, inflammation, hepatocellular injury, and fibrosis. Inflammation plays a key role in the progression of NASH and can be provoked by intrahepatic (e.g., lipotoxicity, immune responses, oxidative stress and cell death) and extrahepatic sources (adipose tissue...

Adipocyte-Endothelium Crosstalk in Obesity

Obesity is characterized by pathological adipose tissue (AT) expansion. While healthy AT expansion enhances systemic insulin sensitivity, unhealthy AT expansion through increased adipocyte size is associated with insulin resistance, fibrosis, hypoxia, and reduced adipose-derived adiponectin secretion. The mechanisms causing the unhealthy AT expansion are not fully elucidated; yet, dysregulated cro...

Synthesis of Bisoxazole and Bromo-substituted Aryloxazoles

Herein, we report a bisoxazole derivative as well as a bromo-substituted oxazole derivatives via a simple approach. The synthesis begins with an inexpensive and readily available starting material, such as 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde, hydroquinone, and p-toluenesulfonylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC). This approach relies on the Van Leusen oxazole method and electrophilic aromatic bromination. The struct...

The Roles of Various Immune Cell Populations in Immune Response against Helminths

Helminths are multicellular parasites that are a substantial problem for both human and veterinary medicine. According to estimates, 1.5 billion people suffer from their infection, resulting in decreased life quality and burdens for healthcare systems. On the other hand, these infections may alleviate autoimmune diseases and allergy symptoms. The immune system is programmed to combat infections; n...

Heavy-Tailed Probability Distributions: Some Examples of Their Appearance

We provide two examples of the appearance of heavy-tailed distributions in social sciences applications. Among these distributions are the laws of Pareto and Lotka and some new ones. The examples are illustrated through the construction of suitable toy models....

Software Development for Processing and Analysis of Data Generated by Human Eye Movements

This research focuses on a software application providing opportunities for the processing and analysis of data generated by a saccade sensor with human eye movements. The main functional opportunities of the developed application are presented as well. According to the methodology of the experiments, three experiments were prepared. The first was related to visualization of the stimuli on a stimu...
