Experimental Animal Models of Fibrosis: Relevance and Considerations for Translational Health Research
Journal Title: International Journal of Zoology and Animal Biology - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Tissue fibrosis is a set of progressive debilitating diseases which although initiate as a normal wound healing response to an injury, end up with hyperactivated immunological state leading to overwhelming deposition of extra cellular matrix (ECM) components by activated fibroblasts. About 45% deaths in the US are attributed to fibrosis-associated organ damage

Alterations in the Activity of Acetylcholine Esterase in the Dragonfly Larvae of Bradinopyga Geminata under the Stress of Selected Textile Dyeing Effluents
Textile dyeing effluents were considered as the major cause of aquatic pollution in India. Many studies on textile dyeing effluents (TDE) have proved that they inflict serious damage to aquatic ecosystems. Mingling of T...
The Biology and Genetics of Electric Organ of Electric Fishes
The electric fish comprises an interesting feature called electric organ (EO) which can generate electricity. In fact, they have an electrogenic system that generates an electric field. This field is used by the fish...
