(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2018 , Article)
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease characterized by an exacerbated fibrotic response. Although molecular and cellular determinants involved in the onset and progression of this devastating disease ...
Oxidative stress-induced Akt downregulation mediates green tea toxicity towards prostate cancer cells
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Green tea consumption has been shown to possess cancer chemopreventive activity. Polyphenol E (PE) is a widely used standardized green tea extract formulation. This study was designed to investigate the impact of PE on ...

The aim of this work is the evaluation of a green extraction technology to exploit winery waste byproducts. Specifically, a solid⁻liquid extraction technology (Naviglio Extractor) was used to obtain polyphenolic antioxidants ...
Reduced vasorin enhances angiotensin II signaling within the aging arterial wall
(
Impact Journals
, 2018 , Article)
The glycosylated protein vasorin physically interacts with the transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) and functionally attenuates its fibrogenic signaling in the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) of the arterial wall. ...
