Hepatic Deletion of X-Box Binding Protein 1 in FXR Null Mice Leads to Enhanced Liver Injury RESEARCH PAPER

Published in JLR, 2022

In this paper, we sought to determine the role of the inositol-requiring enzyme 1α/XBP1 pathway in hepatic bile acid toxicity using the Fxr−/− mouse model.

Mechanisms of liver injury in high fat sugar diet fed mice that lack hepatocyte X-box binding protein 1 RESEARCH PAPER

Published in PloS One, 2022

In this study, to better understand the role of liver XBP1 in the pathobiology of NAFLD, we fed hepatocyte XBP1 deficient mice a HFS diet or chow and investigated UPR and other cell signaling pathways in hepatocytes, hepatic stellate cells and immune cells.

Mechanical and tribological properties of polymers and polymer-based composites RESEARCH PAPER

Published in Chemistry & Chemical Technology, 2020

We also discuss tribological properties of polymers and PBCs including frictions (static, sliding and rolling) and wear. We discuss connections between viscoelastic recovery in scratch resistance testing with brittleness B, as well as Charpy and Izod impact strengths relations with B. Flexibility Y is related to a dynamic friction.

A relation between flexibility and thermal conductivity of polymers RESEARCH PAPER

Published in Preprints, 2020

Flexibility of polymers defined by an equation in 2019 is related here to thermal conductivity, using reliable data for both properties found in the literature. The resulting equation is simple, it has the form of a quadratic polynomial.
