The genetic regulation of the gastric transcriptome is associated with metabolic and obesity-related traits and diseases.

Tissue-specific gene expression and gene regulation lead to a better understanding of tissue-specific physiology and pathophysiology. We analyzed the transcriptome and genetic regulatory profiles of two distinct gastric sites, corpus and antrum, to identify tissue-specific gene expression and its regulation. Gastric corpus and antrum mucosa biopsies were collected during routine gastroscopies from up to 431 healthy individuals.

Impregnation of Fenofibrate on mesoporous silica using supercritical carbon dioxide.

Low oral bioavailability can be circumvented by the formulation of the poorly water soluble drug in ordered mesoporous silica (OMS-L-7). Fenofibrate is an orally administered, poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), used clinically to lower lipid levels. Fenofibrate was loaded into silica using two methods: incipient wetness and supercritical impregnation.
