New discovery on the pathogenesis of kidney diseases
The kidneys, as a major filter organ for the blood and the key organ responsible for maintaining total body water balance and circulatory pressure, receive a rich blood supply by which they monitor and modify the functional status of multiple organ systems. Overall, 10% of the world's adults had some form of kidney disease. Kidney diseases are related to a massive financial burden.New discovery on the pathogenesis of kidney diseasesChronic kidney disease (CKD) is a clinical syndrome secondary to the definitive change in function and/or structure of the kidney and is characterized by its irreversibility and slow and progressive evolution. CKD affects a variety of metabolic pathways,......

Lung emphysema and impaired macrophage elastase clearance in mucolipin 3 deficient mice
On 14 January 2022, Christian Grimm, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich, Germany, and his team published a paper tittled “Lung emphysema and impaired macrophage elastase clearance in mucolipin 3 deficient mice” in NATURE COMMUNICATIONS , which suggested that TRPML3 represents a key regulator of MMP-12 clearance by alveolar macrophages and may serve as therapeutic target for emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.The kits [ELISA Kit for Matrix Metalloproteinase 12 (MMP12), SEA402Mu] of Cloud-Clone brand was chosed in this article, we are so proud for supporting the reaserchers.Lung emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the two most common causes of chronic obstructive......

New discovery of COPD disease mechanism
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is now the third most common cause of death in the world. COPD is characterized by progressive airflow obstruction and continuously aggravated airflow limitation with an abnormal and persistent inflammatory response of the lungs or airways to cigarette smoking or harmful gases and particles. Tobacco smoking and second-hand exposure to cigarette smoke (CS), are the major causes of COPD in developed countries, but air pollution and other exposures are also important.New discovery of COPD disease mechanismThere is no cure for COPD, and current treatments, including physiotherapeutic and pharmacologic interventions, aim to mitigate symptoms and ......

Plasmin activity promotes amyloid deposition in a transgenic model of human transthyretin amyloidosis
On December 7, 2021, J. Paul Simons, Division of Medicine, University College London, and his team published a paper tittled “Plasmin activity promotes amyloid deposition in a transgenic model of human transthyretin amyloidosis”in NATURE COMMUNICATIONS , which reported a mouse model of cardiac ATTR amyloidosis with human TTRS52Ptransgenic expression.The kits [ELISA Kit for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), CEA463Mu] of Cloud-Clone brand was chosed in this article, we are so proud for supporting the reaserchers.Cardiac ATTR amyloidosis, a serious but much under-diagnosed form of cardiomyopathy, is caused by deposition of amyloid fibrils derived from the plasma protein transthyretin......

Recent advances in the mechanism of acute myeloid leukemia
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a fatal form of hematopoietic malignancyby abnormal hematopoietic maturation, uncontrolled cellular proliferation,with 5-year survival rate of adult patients only 24%.Chemotherapy is standard-of-care, but therapeutic regimens have not changed dramatically in several decades and are often poorly tolerated.Despite the progress of therapeutic approaches such as allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell treatment, the survival of AML patients has not been significantly improved. Novel treatments for AML are urgently needed. Therefore, further understanding of the pathogenesis of AML may contribu......

GP73 is a TBC-domain Rab GTPase-activating protein contributing to the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease without obesity
On December 1, 2021, Congwen Wei, Beijing Institute of Biotechnology, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, and his team published an article titled “GP73 is a TBC-domain Rab GTPase-activating protein contributing to the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease without obesity” in NATURE COMMUNICATIONS, which revealed a pathophysiological role of GP73 in triggering non-obese NAFLD.The kits [ELISA Kit for Apolipoprotein B (APOB), SEC003Mu;Polyclonal Antibody to Apolipoprotein B100 (APOB100), PAA603Mu01;ELISA Kit for Albumin (ALB), CEB028Mu;ELISA Kit for Apolipoprotein E (APOE), SEA704Mu;ELISA Kit for Apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1), SEA519Mu;ELISA Kit for Triglyceride (......
