Humanized immune system animal models and their recent applications

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this review, we provide an updated and comprehensive overview of the current state of humanized immune system animal model research. We discuss the variety of techniques used to produce humanized mice with their respective strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate the advantages and limitations of these models, including issues with incomplete immune ...

Chrysin alleviates pressure overload–induced myocardial remodeling through regulating the PI3K/AKT/NRF2 pathway–mediated oxidative stress response

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this study, we primarily simulated pathological myocardial remodeling induced by transverse aortic constriction surgery and found significant cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, characterized by deteriorated cardiac function. Oxidative stress response is considered as a pivotal pathological process, which contributes to inflammation and apoptosis of ...

Molecular-genetic assessment of angiotensin-converting enzyme hyperactivity determinancy risk at hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome [PDF]

Саратовский научно-медицинский журнал, 2010
The research aimed to explore the changes of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) blood activity and polymorphism of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor gene as disease predictor at hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). In exami¬nation 409 patients

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

Acute Urinary Bladder Distension Triggers ICAM-1-mediated Renal Oxidative Injury via the Norepinephrine–renin–angiotensin II System in Rats

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2009
Acute urinary bladder distension (AUBD) can activate bladder mechanical afferent and renal sympathetic nerves, which contributes to renal vasoconstriction.

Angiotensin II promotes melanogenesis via angiotensin II type 1 receptors in human melanocytes

Molecular Medicine Reports, 2012
Angiotensin II (AngII) is a hormone with long-established cardiovascular actions. Previous studies have revealed an additional role for AngII in the regulation of cutaneous wound healing. To evaluate the association between AngII and abnormal pigmentation of cutaneous wound healing, the present study used human melanocytes to investigate the effects of

Cytokine Pathways Driving Diverse Tissue Pathologies in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex systemic disorder characterized primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease, such as that of the lung, with potentially devastating clinical consequences. The critical importance of comorbidities,
