RAC INHIBITION REVERSES THE PHENOTYPE OF FIBROTIC FIBROBLASTS.

Rac inhibition reverses the phenotype of fibrotic fibroblasts.

BACKGROUND:Fibrosis, the excessive deposition of scar tissue by fibroblasts, is one of the largest groups of diseases for which there is no therapy.Fibroblasts from lesional areas of scleroderma Heart Bracelet patients possess elevated abilities to contract matrix and produce alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA), type I collagen and CCN2 (connecti

Complexing Agents on Carbon Content and Lithium Storage Capacity of LiFePO4/C Cathode Synthesized via Sol-Gel Approach

Olivine-structured LiFePO4 faces its intrinsic challenges Accessories in terms of poor electrical conductivity and lithium-ion diffusion capability for application to lithium-ion batteries.Cost-effective sol-gel approach is advantageous to in situ synthesize carbon-coated LiFePO4 (LiFePO4/C) which can not only improve electronic conductivity but al
