Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis and Their Impact on Biochemical and Inflammatory Profiles in Cafeteria Diet Fed Sprague Dawley Rats
( Scientific Research Publishing , 2019 , Article)Gut microbiota plays a major role in regulating the host metabolism and immune system. However, the structure of microbiome population is altered constantly by diverse factors including diet and environment. In particular, ... -
Gut Microbiota and Health: Understanding the Role of Diet
( Scientific Research Publishing , 2019 , Article Review)Microbiome now is considered as an organ within our system to regulate metabolism, cellular immune response and eventually maintain the health. Gut microbiota has been studied extensively in the recent past due to the ... -
Brain Microstructural Changes Support Cognitive Deficits in Normal Children Born to HIVinfected Mothers
(2018 , Conference Proceedings)Synopsis In the current study, we evaluated the brain integrity [by mapping the fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD)] and neurocognitive performance (NP) in normal children (NCI) born to HIV-infected ... -
Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis in Cafeteria Diet Fed Sprague Dawley Rats
( Scientific Research Publishing , 2018 , Article)Diet plays a major role in the body physiology and metabolism. The quantity, nature and stability of the macronutrients present in the diet have a major impact on the composition of gut microbiota. Gut microbiota plays a ... -
Extracellular vesicles-mediated intercellular communication: roles in the tumor microenvironment and anti-cancer drug resistance.
( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Article)The tumor microenvironment represents a complex network, in which tumor cells not only communicate with each other but also with stromal and immune cells. Current research has demonstrated the vital role of the tumor ... -
Tight Junction Proteins and Signaling Pathways in Cancer and Inflammation: A Functional Crosstalk.
( Frontiers Media , 2019 , Article)The ability of epithelial cells to organize through cell-cell adhesion into a functioning epithelium serves the purpose of a tight epithelial protective barrier. Contacts between adjacent cells are made up of tight junctions ... -
Changes in resting-state functional brain activity are associated with waning cognitive functions in HIV-infected children.
( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)Delayed brain development in perinatally HIV-infected children may affect the functional brain activity and subsequently cognitive function. The current study evaluated the functional brain activity in HIV-infected children ... -
