Polysaccharide extract from Rosa laevigata fruit attenuates inflammatory obesity by targeting redox balance and gut interface in high-fat diet-fed rats by Xuejiao Zhang, Chenzhong Jin, Han Liu, Yihong Hu, Yunyun Zhou, Weiguo Wu, Si Qin

“…The results showed that RLPs administration had significantly restored immune organ indexes and reduced body weight gain. RNA-seq revealed that the effect of RLPs was partially attributed to its regulation on PPARs signaling by increasing the expressions of Scd, Acox3 and Hmgcs2, and on other redox-related pathways by decreasing the expressions of Cyp2e1, Il1-r1 and Lbp. …”

Studying breast cancer lung metastasis using a multi-compartment microfluidic device with a mimetic tumor-stroma interaction model by Bahareh Zarin, Laleh Rafiee, Sorosh Abdollahi, Maryam Vatani, Mohsen Hassani, Amir Sanati-Nezhad, Shaghayegh Haghjooy Javanmard

“…Background: Understanding the mechanisms underlying the metastasis of breast cancer cells to the lungs is challenging, and appropriate simulation of the tumor microenvironment with mimetic cancer-stroma crosstalk is essential. β4 integrin is known to contribute to triggering a variety of different signaling cues involved in the malignant phenotype of cancer but its role in organ-specific metastasis needs further study. In this work, a multi-compartment microfluidic tumor model was developed to evaluate cancer cell invasion. …”
