Author's Comment ➡️
Removing Extracellular Matrix From the Cell Surface Prior to Seeding Enhances the Adhesion of Primary Human Hepatocytes to the Culture Vessel
The variable adhesiveness of primary human hepatocytes to culture vessels limits their utility. We demonstrate that removing the extracellular matrix from the cell surface (denudation) enables suspen...

Author's Comment ➡️
Decreased Mitochondrial Translation Suppresses 3,3′‐Diindolylmethane‐Induced Reactive Oxygen Species Generation in Schizosaccharomyces Pombe
3,3′-diindolylmethane induces growth defects by increasing ROS levels in mitochondria, which are suppressed via inhibition of mitochondrial translation in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The study highlig...

Author's Comment ➡️
Knockdown of Cav2.2 Calcium Channel in Macrophages Aggravates Colitis Induced by Dextran Sodium Sulfate
Cav2.2KD mice are transgenic mice, where Cav2.2 expression is suppressed in macrophages by RNAi. Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)—induced colitis was more severe in Cav2.2KD mice, with larger accumulatio...

Author's Comment ➡️
Transcriptional Regulation of the Interferon Alpha‐Inducible Protein‐27 Like 2b by the Peroxisome Proliferator‐Activated Receptor γ in Fatty Liver Disease
PPARγ directly regulates the interferon-inducible Ifi27l2b gene through a PPRE in the fatty liver. Its expression is elevated in obese and alcohol-fed mice, enhanced by PPARγ ligands, and suppressed ...
