Celastrol alleviated acute kidney injury by inhibition of ferroptosis through Nrf2/GPX4 pathway.

Ferroptosis is an important pathological process in acute kidney injury (AKI) which could lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). As an active ingredient of Chinese medicine Tripterygium wilfordii, celastrol has been reported to alleviate inflammation and preclinical studies have confirmed its anticancer effect. In the present study, we investigated the renal protective effects of celastrol against cisplatin induced AKI.

rFGF4 alleviates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury by inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a serious and common clinical disease. Despite significant progress in ALI treatment, the morbidity and mortality rates remain high. However, no effective drug has been discovered for ALI.

Fishing trip cost modeling using generalized linear model and machine learning methods - A case study with longline fisheries in the Pacific and an application in Regulatory Impact Analysis.

Fishing trip cost is an important element in evaluating economic performance of fisheries, assessing economic effects from fisheries management alternatives, and serving as input for ecosystem and bioeconomic modeling. However, many fisheries have limited trip-level data due to low observer coverage. This article introduces a generalized linear model (GLM) utilizing machine learning (ML) techniques to develop a modeling approach to estimate the functional forms and predict the fishing trip costs of unsampled trips.

PPARγ Mediates the Anti-Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Effects of FGF1 in Chronic Kidney Diseases via Inhibition of TGF-β1/SMAD3 Signaling.

Podocytes are essential components of the glomerular basement membrane. Epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT) in podocytes results in proteinuria. Fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) protects renal function against diabetic nephropathy (DN).
