Role of alarmin cytokines and microRNAs in the host-schistosome interaction [version 1; referees: 3 approved] [PDF]
Schistosomiasis is a serious but neglected tropical infectious disease, afflicting more than 240 million people in 78 countries. Lack of an effective vaccine and obscuring disease mechanism could be the main hurdles to effectively control and eradicate ...

Early Growth Response 1‐Associated Epithelial Autophagy‐Related Changes in Allergic Airway Inflammation [PDF]
House dust mite (HDM) exposure induces early growth response 1 (EGR1) expression in airway epithelial cells and is accompanied by autophagy‐associated alterations, including increased LC3B‐II and Vps34 levels and decreased p62 abundance. Manipulation of EGR1 expression modulates these autophagy‐related changes, whereas pharmacological inhibition of ...

The alarmin–ILC2 axis as a candidate mechanism for persistent olfactory dysfunction in allergic rhinitis [PDF]
BackgroundAllergic rhinitis (AR) is an underrecognized contributor to olfactory dysfunction (OD). Although smell loss in AR is commonly attributed to conductive obstruction, some patients exhibit persistent or disproportionate hyposmia despite ...

Interleukin-33 at the intersection of inflammation and repair [PDF]
Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a cytokine of the IL-1 family that acts as an alarmin in both innate and adaptive immunity. IL-33 is constitutively nuclear in epithelial and endothelial cells, where its activity is limited by nuclear retention.

Reframing paucigranulocytic asthma through genetic endotyping: a hypothesis-generating focus on the 17q21 rs7216389 locus [PDF]
Purpose of review: Non-T2 asthma is currently defined by missing parameters, such as low blood eosinophils and FeNO, rather than positively identifiable mechanistic features. This definition overlaps with paucigranulocytic asthma (PGA).

Heme Oxygenase Protects against Placental Vascular Inflammation and Abortion by the Alarmin Heme in Mice. [PDF]
Both infectious as non-infectious inflammation can cause placental dysfunction and pregnancy complications. During the first trimester of human gestation, when palatogenesis takes place, intrauterine hematoma and hemorrhage are common phenomena, causing ...

Airway epithelial type‐2 alarmin profiles: Blood eosinophil counts remain in memory
International audienceEpithelial cytokines are involved in the orchestration of T1/T2 inflammatory patterns. We question the persistence of this trait in air-liquid interface (ALI) epithelial cultures and whether this local orientation can be related to ...
