Background Proliferative lupus nephritis (LN) is characterized by robust glomerular and tubulo- interstitial inflammation, sub-endothelial deposits of immunoglobulin, and increased endothelial cell ...

Introduction Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterised by accumulation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts and deposition of extracellular matrix proteins. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) ...

Diets rich in phosphate additives, commonly found in processed foods, can increase blood pressure by triggering a brain ...

Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

This important study looks into the effect of exogenous CoA on the response of TLR4-activated macrophages. Specifically, CoA enhances the LPS response by examining metabolomics, 13C tracing, and ...

Phosphate binders are often prescribed with meals for people with kidney disease to reduce the uptake of phosphate in food.

The bedroom of 74-year-old Cherifa Attia smells like burnt rubber. The vast phosphate processing plant beside her home has been belching out toxic fumes into the atmosphere, blighting this Tunisian ...

Glycerol intoxication syndrome is a condition that can happen after having glycerol, an ingredient that is often found in sugar-free slushies or those that claim to have no added sugar.

Tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl)phosphate (TDCIPP) is a high-production-volume organophosphate flame retardant (OPFR) that induces epiboly defects during zebrafish embryogenesis, leading to the disruption ...
