<h3>Background</h3> Chronic liver injury triggers a progenitor cell repair response, and fibrosis occurs when becomes deregulated. Previously, we reported that reactivation of the hedgehog pathway promotes fibrogenic repair. Osteopontin (OPN) is hedgehog-target, cytokine highly upregulated in fibrotic tissues, regulates stem-cell fate. Thus, hypothesised OPN may modulate thereby, outcomes. We further evaluated impact OPN-neutralisation on murine fibrosis. <h3>Methods</h3> Liver progenitors...
Osteopontin (OPN) promotes hepatic fibrosis, and developing therapies targeting OPN expression in settings of injury holds promise. The polyphenol epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), found high concentrations green tea, downregulates through mRNA degradation, but the mechanism is unknown. Previous work has shown that microRNAs can decrease levels, other studies have EGCG modulates multiple microRNAs. In our study, we first demonstrated induces stellate cells to transform into an activated...
Recently, heat treatment in the range of 250 °C–500 °C has been attempted with aim improving quality factor (Q) superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities worldwide. Herein, medium-temperature (mid-T) furnace baking experiments were conducted at Institute High Energy Physics to obtain higher Q values. First, 1.3 GHz 1-cell received mid-T different temperatures, resulting not only improvement but also an anti-Q-slope behavior. Furthermore, was applied six 9-cell cavities, all which...
