Macrophage MST1 protects against schistosomiasis-induced liver fibrosis by promoting the PPARγ-CD36 pathway and suppressing NF-κB signaling. by Jianyang Li, Xinyuan Cai, Yan Yang, Yulin Mao, Lin Ding, Qian Xue, Xunhao Hu, Yan Huang, Cong Sui, Yuxia Zhang

“…Conversely, MST1 deletion leads to up-regulation of pro-inflammatory genes instead of fibrolytic genes in macrophages, accompanied by decreased expression of CD36 and impaired phagocytosis. Furthermore, the ablation of MST1 enhances NF-κB activation in S. japonicum-infected and SEA-stimulated macrophages, resulting in increased production of proinflammatory cytokines. …”

Use of spent yeasts from bioethanol production plant as low-cost nitrogen sources for ethanol fermentation from sweet sorghum stem juice in low-cost bioreactors by Thanawat Thanapornsin, Rattanaporn Phongsri, Lakkana Laopaiboon, Pattana Laopaiboon

“…When three bioreactors, a stirred-tank bioreactor (STR, a typical bioreactor), a column bioreactor with stirrer (CS-R, a tower bioreactor) and an external loop bioreactor (ELR, a low-cost bioreactor with no agitation), were used for ethanol production from the SSJ supplemented with SYH, the fermentation efficiencies of all bioreactors were not different. Appropriate aeration during fermentation (0.31 vvm for 12 h) in the three bioreactors could enhance the QE value, reaching 3.36 g/L·h. …”
