Relationship between tumour PTEN/Akt/COX-2 expression, inflammatory response and survival in patients with colorectal cancer [PDF]
In patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), local and systemic inflammatory responses have been extensively reported to associate with cancer survival. However, the specific signalling pathways responsible for inflammatory responses are not clear. The PTEN/

C13orf31 (FAMIN) is a central regulator of immunometabolic function. [PDF]
Single-nucleotide variations in C13orf31 (LACC1) that encode p.C284R and p.I254V in a protein of unknown function (called 'FAMIN' here) are associated with increased risk for systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, leprosy and Crohn's disease.

Autoantibody profiles and their association with blood eosinophils in asthma and COPD
Background: Autoimmune involvement in the pathogenesis of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been proposed, and autoantibodies are a hallmark of autoimmunity.

ANCA-associated vasculitis – Should we change the standard of care? [PDF]
Collaborative clinical trials over the last 25 years have revolutionised the care of patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis. This has led to production of management recommendations and standards of care.

Neutrophil swarms require LTB4 and integrins at sites of cell death in vivo [PDF]
Neutrophil recruitment from blood to extravascular sites of sterile or infectious tissue damage is a hallmark of early innate immune responses, and the molecular events leading to cell exit from the bloodstream have been well defined1,2. Once outside the

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies and their clinical significance
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are a group of autoantibodies that cause systemic vascular inflammation by binding to target antigens of neutrophils. These autoantibodies can be found in serum from patients with systemic small-vessel vasculitis and they are considered as a biomarker for ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV).
