PMID: 26726307
Curr Pathobiol Rep. 2015 Dec;3(4):253-261. doi: 10.1007/s40139-015-0093-z. Epub 2015 Sep 30.

Hepatocyte death, inflammation, and liver fibrosis are the hallmarks of chronic liver disease. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) is an inflammatory cytokine involved in liver inflammation and sustained liver inflammation leads to liver fibrosis. TNFα exerts inflammation, proliferation, and apoptosis....

Physiological reports

Yatomi M, Hisada T, Ishizuka T, Koga Y, Ono A, Kamide Y, Seki K, Aoki-Saito H, Tsurumaki H, Sunaga N, Kaira K, Dobashi K, Yamada M, Okajima F.
PMID: 26660549
Physiol Rep. 2015 Dec;3(12). doi: 10.14814/phy2.12628.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a destructive inflammatory disease with limited therapeutic options. Inflammation plays an integral role in the development of pulmonary fibrosis. Unresolved inflammatory responses can lead to substantial tissue injury, chronic inflammation, and fibrosis. The resolvins...
