Allergic Sensitization to Inhalant Allergens in the Upper Respiratory Tract—the B Cell Side

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allergic diseases are on the rise worldwide, driven by respiratory epithelial barrier dysfunction that promotes sensitization to inhalant allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and fungal spores. These antigens trigger IgE‐mediated immune responses that lead to diseases such as allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma.

Innate Immunity to Mucosal Candida Infections

Journal of Fungi, 2017
Mucosal epithelial tissues are exposed to high numbers of microbes, including commensal fungi, and are able to distinguish between those that are avirulent and those that cause disease.

Molecular mechanisms of inflammation and tissue injury after major trauma-is complement the "bad guy"? [PDF]

, 2011
Trauma represents the leading cause of death among young people in industrialized countries. Recent clinical and experimental studies have brought increasing evidence for activation of the innate immune system in contributing to the pathogenesis of ...

Successful Application of the Mast Cell Activation Test in Immediate Hypersensitivity to Amoxicillin

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study included 28 amoxicillin‐allergic patients and 11 healthy exposed controls. Mast cells were differentiated from CD34+ progenitors over 8 weeks using cytokine cocktails. The mast cell activation test involved sensitization with patient or control sera and stimulation with free amoxicillin or G4/G5‐AXO dendrimers with successfully activated ...

Immunohistochemical Expression of TLR-4 in Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction [PDF]

, 2018
Objective Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) is a transmembrane protein involved in the innate immune system and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD).

Chinese Position Paper on Biologic Therapy for Allergic Rhinitis

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common, persistent nasal disorder that poses significant public health challenges worldwide. Current treatment options frequently fail to achieve adequate symptom control in a substantial subset of patients. Over the past two decades, biologic therapies that target type 2 inflammatory pathways have been used to ...

The n-acetyl phenylalanine glucosamine derivative attenuates the inflammatory/catabolic environment in a chondrocyte-synoviocyte co-culture system [PDF]

, 2019
Osteoarthritis (OA), the most prevalent degenerative joint disease, still lacks a true disease-modifying therapy. The involvement of the NF-κB pathway and its upstream activating kinases in OA pathogenesis has been recognized for many years.

Redox-control of the alarmin, Interleukin-1α

Redox Biology, 2013
The pro-inflammatory cytokine Interleukin-1α (IL-1α) has recently emerged as a susceptibility marker for a wide array of inflammatory diseases associated with oxidative stress including Alzheimer's, arthritis, atherosclerosis, diabetes and cancer. In the present study, we establish that expression and nuclear localization of IL-1α are redox-dependent ...

Key role of thymic stromal lymphopoietin as a molecular target for biologic treatment of severe asthma

Frontiers in Allergy
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an alarmin mainly released by airway epithelial cells injured by many environmental noxious agents such as aeroallergens, respiratory viruses, bacteria, airborne pollutants and cigarette smoking.
