Novel and unscrutinized immune entities of the zebrafish gut

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Understudied cells of the zebrafish immune system include bona fide immune cells and epithelial (‐derived) cells with immune functions. Research focusing on zebrafish cells which demonstrate similarities to mammalian immune cell counterparts may help us understand the pathologies in which they are implicated. Currently available and advanced tools make

Microfluidic flow chambers using reconstituted blood to model hemostasis and platelet transfusion in vitro [PDF]

, 2016
Blood platelets prepared for transfusion gradually lose hemostatic function during storage. Platelet function can be investigated using a variety of (indirect) in vitro experiments, but none of these is as comprehensive as microfluidic flow chambers.

Imeglimin attenuates liver fibrosis by inhibiting vesicular ATP release from hepatic stellate cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Imeglimin, at clinically relevant concentrations, inhibits vesicular ATP accumulation and release from hepatic stellate cells, thereby attenuating purinergic signaling and reducing fibrogenic activation. This mechanism reveals a newly identified antifibrotic action of imeglimin beyond glycemic control.

Hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction in severe traumatic brain injury long-term outcomes

Chinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery
The incidence of hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) reaches up to 40%. However, it is often masked by clinical manifestations similar to those of sTBI, leading to underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis ...

Single-cell transcriptome reveals the novel role of T-bet in suppressing the immature NK gene signature

eLife, 2020
The transcriptional activation and repression during NK cell ontology are poorly understood. Here, using single-cell RNA-sequencing, we reveal a novel role for T-bet in suppressing the immature gene signature during murine NK cell development.

Cerebral blood flow autoregulation is impaired in schizophrenia [PDF]

, 2017
Patients with schizophrenia have a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases and higher mortality from them than does the general population; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

The Importance of the Study of the Hemodynamics of the Uterine Tumors by the Method of Dopplerometry in the Two- and Three-dimensional Echography Modes for Differential Diagnostics of Simple, Proliferating Leiomyomas and Uterine Sarcomas (Review of Litera [PDF]

, 2018
The article analyzes modern literature data on the importance of studying the hemodynamics of uterine tumors with dopplerometry in two - and three - dimensional regimens of echography for differential diagnosis of simple proliferating leiomyomas and ...

Plasmodium falciparum gametogenesis essential protein 1 (GEP1) is a transmission‐blocking target

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows Plasmodium falciparum GEP1 is vital for activating sexual stages of malarial parasites even independently of a mosquito factor. Knockout parasites completely fail gamete formation even when a phosphodiesterase inhibitor is added. Two single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (V241L and S263P) are found in 12%–20% of field samples.

Simultaneous analysis of cytokines and co-stimulatory molecules concentrations by ELISA technique andof probabilities of measurable concentrations of interleukins IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, CXCL8 (IL-8), IL-10, IL-13 occurring in plasma of healthy blood donors

Mediators of Inflammation, 2006
Background. The cytokine network remarkably influences homeostasis. There is not a complex analysis describing physiological values of soluble cytokines in healthy individuals. Methods.

Evaluation of Canonical Inflammasome Activation in Human Monocytes by Imaging Flow Cytometry

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Canonical inflammasome activation is a tightly regulated process that has been implicated in a broad spectrum of inflammatory disorders. Inflammasome formation requires assembly of a cytosolic sensor protein with the adapter, ASC (apoptosis-associated ...
