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 …

Quorum Sensing and Biofilm Dynamics in Pathogens: An Evolving Frontier in Infectious Disease
Abstract: Bacterial and fungal pathogens rarely act as solitary invaders. Instead, they engage in sophisticated chemical communication known as quorum sensing (QS) to coordinate population-wide behaviours and construct structured, multicellular biofilm communities. These biofilms, composed of extracellular polymeric substances, not only facilitate microbial persistence on biotic and abiotic surfaces but also confer remarkable protection against host immune defenses and antimicrobial therapies. QS systems act as central regulators of biofilm dynamics, orchestrating …
