The pathomechanism of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) involves cumulative events such as leaky gut, hepatocyte damage and inflammation that collectively contribute to the severity of disease. Our studies have delineated the role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling and identified a unique role for...

microRNAs in Alcoholic Liver Disease Alcoholic liver disease affects millions of people worldwide and it remains to be a therapeutic challenge for clinicians. Activation of the inflammatory cascade via gut-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) contributes to alcoholic liver disease via induction of pro...

Experiments proposed in this supplement will explore novel signaling molecules in alcohol-induced neuroinflammation and interactions between alcohol use and key pathways in the biology of neuroinflammation and AD dementia. Our studies will reveal new potential therapeutic targets in the dual insult...
