Myofibroblast Differentiation by Transforming Growth Factor-β1 Is Dependent on Cell Adhesion and Integrin Signaling via Focal Adhesion Kinase

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that stable expression of the myofibroblast phenotype requires both TGF-β1 and adhesion-dependent signals, and a safer and more effective therapeutic strategy for fibrotic diseases characterized by persistent myofIBroblast activation may be to target this integrin/FAK pathway while not interfering with tumor-suppressive functions of TGF -β1/Smad signaling.

Transcriptomic characterization of cold acclimation in larval zebrafish
TL;DR: These findings indicate that zebrafish larvae possess the ability to build cold-tolerance under mild low temperature and transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulations are extensively involved in this acclimation process.
Genetic Ablation of Solute Carrier Family 7a3a Leads to Hepatic Steatosis in Zebrafish During Fasting
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that deprivation of Slc7a3a leads to hepatic steatosis in fasted zebrafish as a result of defects in arginine‐dependent nitric oxide (NO) synthesis.

Molecular characterization and functions of zebrafish ABCC2 in cellular efflux of heavy metals.
TL;DR: It is suggested that zebrafish ABCC2/MRP2 is capable of effluxing heavy metals from cells and may play important roles in the detoxification of toxic metals.

De Novo Assembly of Mud Loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) Skin Transcriptome to Identify Putative Genes Involved in Immunity and Epidermal Mucus Secretion
TL;DR: The skin transcriptome of mud loach using Illumia paired-end sequencing has laid the foundation for further understanding the secretary processes and immune functions of loach skin mucus.
