Bacterial translocation-induced inflammation and immune dysfunction are recognised factors contributing to the pathogenesis of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). However, the specific involvement of interferons (IFNs) and soluble checkpoints (sol-CRs) in shaping the immune landscape in PBC patients remains unexplored. Furthermore, the influence of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDC) on these immune mediators is unknown.

Nutritional intake is closely linked to gonadal development, although the mechanisms by which food intake affects gonadal development are not fully understood. Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a satiety neuropeptide derived from the hypothalamus, and the present study observed that hypothalamic CCK expression is significantly influenced by food intake, which is mediated through blood glucose levels. Interestingly, CCK and its receptors were observed to exhibit a high expression in the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis of grass carp (), suggesting that CCK is potentially involved in regulating fish reproduction through the HPG axis.

Besides their nutritional role, proteins are recognized for their ability to regulate both short- and long-term energy homeostasis. However, studies investigating the effects of proteins based on their quality and origin remain limited and often lack comparability. Nonetheless, existing research consistently underscores the influence of proteins on food intake regulation.

The reduction in hyaluronic acid concentration and viscosity in the synovial fluid of patients struggling with osteoarthritis increases the abrasion of articular cartilage. The aim of this study was to design a semi-IPN hydrogel based on genipin-crosslinked carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh) and glycerol to achieve long-term release of hyaluronic acid. The results showed that hydrogel comprising CMCh (3 % wt.

Hypothesis: Solubilization is a fundamental process that underpins various technologies in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. However, knowledge of the location, orientation and interactions of solubilized molecules in the micelles is still limited. We expect all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to improve the molecular-level understanding of solubilization and to enable its in silico prediction.
