Exploring the Molecular Modalities in the Pathogenesis of Diabetic Kidney Disease with a Focus on the Potential Therapeutic Implications by Lyubomir Gaydarski, Kristina Petrova, Ivan Angushev, Stancho Stanchev, Alexandar Iliev, Nikola Stamenov, Vidin Kirkov, Boycho Landzhov

“…Similarly, the VEGF/VEGFR axis demonstrates a complex contribution to DKD, where VEGF-A promotes pathological angiogenesis and glomerular damage, but its inhibition requires careful modulation to prevent adverse effects. The NO/NOS system, integral to vascular and renal homeostasis, also exhibits altered activity in DKD, with reduced bioavailability linked to oxidative stress and inflammation. …”

Enhanced early innate immunity and phagocytosis in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) induced by Aeromonas hydrophila fermentation broth during initial vaccine response by Xiaobo Yu, Qinglin Yang, Yanhong Jiang, Yanhong Li, Zhengli Wu

“…Moreover, in vivo studies revealed that the fermentation broth of A. hydrophila promoted cytophagocytosis in the blood leukocytes of grass carp by regulating the innate immune response during vaccine-induced immunity. This modulation conferred histopathological protection against early A. hydrophila infection within 7 days post-immunostimulation. …”
