Hepatic galectin-3 is associated with lipid droplet area in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in a new swine model.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently a growing epidemic disease that can lead to cirrhosis and hepatic cancer when it evolves into non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a gap not well understood. To characterize this disease, pigs, considered to be one of the most similar to human experimental animal models, were used. To date, all swine-based settings have been carried out using rare predisposed breeds or long-term experiments.

Comparative tachyzoite proteome analyses among six Neospora caninum isolates with different virulence.

The biological variability among Neospora caninum isolates has been widely shown, however, the molecular basis that determines this diversity has not been thoroughly elucidated to date. The latest studies have focused on a limited number of isolates. Therefore, the goal of the present study was to compare the proteome of a larger number of N.

Apoptosis of Candida albicans during the Interaction with Murine Macrophages: Proteomics and Cell-Death Marker Monitoring.

Macrophages may induce fungal apoptosis to fight against C. albicans, as previously hypothesized by our group. To confirm this hypothesis, we analyzed proteins from C.
