Microbiome profiling of rotavirus infected children suffering from acute gastroenteritis.
( BMC , 2021 , Report)Rotavirus (RV) is a leading cause of pediatric diarrhea and mortality worldwide. The virus causes acute gastroenteritis characterized by moderate to severe vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, and fever. Microbial dysbiosis ... -
The Microbiota and Gut-Related Disorders: Insights from Animal Models
( MDPI , 2020 , Article Review)Over the past decade, the scientific committee has called for broadening our horizons in understanding host–microbe interactions and infectious disease progression. Owing to the fact that the human gut harbors trillions ... -
Microbiota-derived acetate activates intestinal innate immunity via the Tip60 histone acetyltransferase complex
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Microbe-derived acetate activates the Drosophila immunodeficiency (IMD) pathway in a subset of enteroendocrine cells (EECs) of the anterior midgut. In these cells, the IMD pathway co-regulates expression of antimicrobial ... -
microRNA 21 and long non-coding RNAs interplays underlie cancer pathophysiology: A narrative review
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are a diverse group of functional RNA molecules that lack the ability to code for proteins. Despite missing this traditional role, ncRNAs have emerged as crucial regulators of various biological ... -
MicroRNAs as Potential Pharmaco-targets in Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Compounded by Diabetes.
( MDPI , 2019 , Article)Ischemia-Reperfusion (I/R) injury is the tissue damage that results from re-oxygenation of ischemic tissues. There are many players that contribute to I/R injury. One of these factors is the family of microRNAs (miRNAs), ... -
MicroRNAs in Cardiac Hypertrophy
( MDPI AG , 2019 , Article Review)Like other organs, the heart undergoes normal adaptive remodeling, such as cardiac hypertrophy, with age. This remodeling, however, is intensified under stress and pathological conditions. Cardiac remodeling could be ... -
