    Molecular Mechanism Underlying Natural Taurine Protection Against Hepatic Fibrosis

    Hepatic fibrosis (HF) occurs in most types of chronic liver diseases and approximately 25%-40% of HF cases may ultimately progress to hepatic cirrhosis. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) contribute significantly to the occurrence of HF and the activation of HSC is the key issue in the pathogenesis...

    Cystic Fibrosis Protein's Secret Life Revealed, US Study

    Researchers have made an important discovery about the secret life of the defective protein that causes cystic fibrosis: while scientists already knew that CFTR protein regulates the acid-alkali balance in cells, what they didn't know, until this study revealed it, was what turns that ability...

    Improved Understanding Of The Defective Protein That Causes Cystic Fibrosis

    A team of researchers studying the protein that, when defective or absent, causes cystic fibrosis (CF) has made an important discovery about how that protein is normally controlled and under what circumstances it might go awry. "Understanding the regulation of salt transport in normal cells is...
