The miR-3074/BMP7 axis regulates TGF-β-caused activation of hepatic stellate cells in vitro and CCl4-caused murine liver fibrosis in vivo
Continuously progressive hepatic fibrosis might cause chronic liver diseases, resulting in hepatic failure. The activation of hepatic stellate cells...

Hyaluronan in Kidney Fibrosis
The kidney is the organ responsible for the regulation of the body’s fluid balance. Hyaluronan (HA), because of its unique hydration capacity, is... -
Recent developments on BMPs and their antagonists in inflammatory bowel diseases
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease, are intestinal disorders characterized by chronic relapsing...
