Journal ArticleDOI

TLR4 enhances TGF-beta signaling and hepatic fibrosis.

TL;DR: Modulation of TGF-β signaling by a TLR4-MyD88–NF-κB axis provides a novel link between proinflammatory and profibrogenic signals.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mitochondrial permeability transition in cell death: a common mechanism in necrosis, apoptosis and autophagy.

TL;DR: In vitro findings suggest that the MPT is the pathophysiological mechanism underlying Reye's syndrome in vivo, and a model is proposed in which onset of theMPT to increasing numbers of mitochondria within a cell leads progressively to autophagy, apoptosis and necrotic cell death.
Journal Article

Curcumin blocks cytokine-mediated NF-kappa B activation and proinflammatory gene expression by inhibiting inhibitory factor I-kappa B kinase activity.

TL;DR: It is concluded that curcumin potently inhibits cytokine-mediated NF-kappa B activation by blocking a signal leading to IKK activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pericytes and perivascular fibroblasts are the primary source of collagen-producing cells in obstructive fibrosis of the kidney.

TL;DR: These results serve to refocus fibrosis research to injury of the vasculature rather than injury to the epithelium, and suggest that either vascular injury or vascular factors are the most likely triggers for pericyte migration and differentiation into myofibroblasts.
