Mesenchymal stem cells enhance recovery and repair following ventilator-induced lung injury in the rat
(BMJ, 2011-11-21)Background Bone-marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) reduce the severity of evolving acute lung injury (ALI), but their ability to repair the injured lung is not clear. A study was undertaken to determine the ... -
Mononuclear phagocyte depletion strategies in models of acute kidney disease: what are they trying to tell us?
(Elsevier BV, 2012-10-01)Mononuclear phagocytes (macrophages, dendritic cells, and monocytes) play a complex role in kidney disease. Techniques for selectively depleting them in rodents have made important contributions but have also generated ... -
Proinflammatory action of the antiinflammatory drug infliximab in tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009-02-01)Objective. Tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) -associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is an autosomal-dominant autoinflammatory condition caused by mutations in the TNFRSFIA gene. Unlike other autoinflammatory diseases ... -
Targeting the ep1 receptor reduces fas ligand expression and increases the antitumor immune response in anin vivomodel of colon cancer
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-03-04)Despite studies demonstrating that inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-derived prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) has significant chemotherapeutic benefits in vitro and in vivo, inhibition of COX enzymes is associated with serious ... -
The anti-inflammatory effect of algae-derived lipid extracts on lipopolysaccharide (lps)-stimulated human thp-1 macrophages
(MDPI AG, 2015-08-20)Algae contain a number of anti-inflammatory bioactive compounds such as omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) and chlorophyll a, hence as dietary ingredients, their extracts may be effective in chronic inflammation-linked ... -
The role of c1q in recognition of apoptotic epithelial cells and inflammatory cytokine production by phagocytes during helicobacter pylori infection
(Springer Nature, 2015-09-08)Background: Gastric epithelial cells (GECs) undergo apoptosis during H. pylori infection and phagocytes within the mucosa engulf these cells. The recognition and clearance of apoptotic cells is a multifactorial process, ...
