The interleukin-17 pathway is involved in human alcoholic liver disease

TL;DR: Human alcoholic liver disease is characterized by the activation of the IL‐ 17 pathway, and liver infiltration with IL‐17–secreting cell infiltrates is a key feature that might contribute to liver neutrophil recruitment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer-associated fibroblasts connect metastasis-promoting communication in colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: This review applies the metastasis-promoting communication of colorectal CAFs to 10 cancer hallmarks described by Hanahan and Weinberg to re-explore the potential messages implicated in this process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impaired Blood-Brain and Blood-Spinal Cord Barriers in Mutant SOD1-linked ALS Rat

TL;DR: Electron microscopic data substantiate a toxic environment around endothelial cell and peri-vascular swollen astrocyte end-feet showing oedema-linked BBB opening and BBB/BSCB impairment was further substantiate by showing at symptomatic stages decreased mRNA expression of ZO-1 and occludin as well as agrin, a basal membrane constituent.

Common polymorphism in the PNPLA3/adiponutrin gene confers higher risk of cirrhosis and liver damage in alcoholic liver disease.
