Acute lung injury (ALI) is a lung disease characterized by an excessive inflammatory response and damage to lung epithelial cells. Atractylodin (ATL) is the main active component of Atractylodes lancea (Thunb.) DC., which has good anti-inflammatory activity and protects the integrity of the epith...
Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) possess the capacity for spontaneous reprogramming during in vitro culture, while the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood, especially why addition of epidermal growth factor (EGF), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) remarkably enhanced transition efficien...
Ulcerative colitis (UC) involves epithelial injury, gut microbial dysbiosis, disturbed microbial metabolism, and mucosal inflammation. This study evaluated the protective effect of Schisandra chinensis (SC) against dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC and investigated the underlying microbiota...
