The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Multitarget Regulatory Mechanisms and Research Advances of Plant‐Derived Bioactive Ingredients in Hypertension Prevention and Management

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the multi‐target and multi‐pathway mechanisms of PDBI in the prevention and management of hypertension. ABSTRACT Hypertension remains a major global risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, yet current treatments face challenges such as suboptimal blood pressure control and inadequate organ protection.

Defective Resensitization in Human Airway Smooth Muscle Cells Evokes β-Adrenergic Receptor Dysfunction in Severe Asthma.

PLoS ONE, 2015
β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) agonists (β2-agonist) are the most commonly used therapy for acute relief in asthma, but chronic use of these bronchodilators paradoxically exacerbates airway hyper-responsiveness.

Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Interactions Between Anti‐Asthma Drugs and Medicinal Plants: A Comprehensive Review

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Asthma affects 260–300 million people worldwide. About 20%–35% of patients use medicinal plants with their asthma medication, often without telling their clinicians. Disclosure rates are low; up to 42% of asthma outpatients use herbal products, with no records in their charts.

Inhaled Corticosteroid Escalation After a Single Moderate Exacerbation in COPD: Differential Benefit by Exacerbation Subtype

Respirology, EarlyView.
We tested whether ICS escalation after a single moderate COPD exacerbation improved outcomes according to exacerbation treatment phenotype. ICS reduced future exacerbations only in steroid‐treated events, not antibiotic‐treated events. This study supports phenotype‐guided escalation after one moderate exacerbation, avoiding overtreatment with precise ...

Asthma: From Phenotypes to Endotypes—Beyond Type 2 Inflammation

Respirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Asthma is a heterogeneous syndrome featuring variable pathophysiology, clinical presentation and treatment response. This review examines a comprehensive endotype‐phenotype framework for asthma assessment with an emphasis on characteristics beyond T2 inflammatory status alone.

Assessing physiological, behavioral and movement responses to Suprelorin implant delivery methods in free‐ranging eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Overabundant populations of eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus in peri‐urban areas pose ecological and social challenges. Current management strategies are often hindered by animal welfare and logistical concerns. This study aimed to assess stress responses of kangaroos to two contraceptive delivery methods.

A release of local subunit conformational heterogeneity underlies gating in a muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

Nature Communications
Synaptic receptors respond to neurotransmitters by opening an ion channel across the post-synaptic membrane to elicit a cellular response. Here we use recent Torpedo acetylcholine receptor structures and functional measurements to delineate a key feature

Advances in γδ T Cells: Cutaneous Biology and Therapeutic Potential for Skin Neoplasms

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT γδ T cells represent an increasingly important subset of T lymphocytes in the immune response to cancer and as a platform for novel immunotherapies. The aim of this review is to synthesize recent insights into the biology and advances in therapeutic applications of γδ T cells in cutaneous malignancies, especially melanoma, within a framework ...

Valorizing Erasure: Imperial Knowledge Production in Anglo‐American Coverage of Chad's ‘Toyota War’

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How does imperial knowledge production operate when Western media coverage of a Global South subject is predominantly admiring instead of hostile? This article addresses that question through critical discourse analysis of sixty‐three Anglo‐American news articles covering the Chad‐Libya conflict of the 1980s, the ‘Toyota War’.
