Platelets A Tiny Cell Fragments
Abstract: Platelets are disc-shaped, anucleate cells that are approximately 2-3 μm in diameter. Their primary function is to control hemostasis, or blood clotting, but they also play important roles in angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and innate immunity (the body's first line of defence against infection). With a diameter of just 2-3 microns, platelets are tiny, disc-shaped cells that lack a nucleus. While their main responsibility is to ensure …

Vitamin D Mitigates Inflammation and Downregulates Importin α3 in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Abstract: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects about one-third of the population in the United States and Western countries, reaching up to 90% among obese individuals and those undergoing bariatric surgery. Characterized by hepatic fat accumulation, NAFLD progresses from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, and, in rare cases, hepatocellular carcinoma. Linked intricately with metabolic syndrome, including diabetes and obesity, NAFLD development involves insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. Experimental evidence consistently …

Vitamin D Mitigates Inflammation and Downregulates Importin α3 in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Abstract: Background: Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, seem to play a crucial role in the progression of NAFLD as they activate the transcription factor NF-кB. The activated NF-кBp50/RelA subunits are translocated to the nucleus by Importin α3 and Importin α4. Numerous studies have indicated a negative association between NAFLD and vitamin D levels. Low vitamin D levels have been correlated with histological severity, necro-inflammation, and fibrosis in …
