BACKGROUND: Infertility poses a significant health challenge for reproductive-aged women globally and could be shaped by both genetic risks and lifestyle factors. Existing studies predominantly focus on individual lifestyle components, whil…
Inflammatory responses in the peritoneum contribute to peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritoneal fibrosis. Results of our previous study showed that increased microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1-mediated production of prostaglandin E…
AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the role and mechanism of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3)-205 in renal inflammation and fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy (DN). MATERIALS AND METHODS: lncRNA micro…
Background: Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1)-derived prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a chief mediator of inflammation. However, the role and mechanism of mPGES-1 in peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritoneal fibrosis have not …
