PBPK/PD modeling and clinical retrospective validation of intravenous polymyxin B in critically ill patients with pulmonary infection. ABSTRACT Intravenous polymyxin B (PMB) is widely used for treating drug‐resistant gram‐negative pneumonia, though its efficacy in pulmonary infections is considered limited.

Evidence for a Two‐Step Model for Activation of GPR25 by the Chemoattractant CXCL17
ABSTRACT CXCL17 was recently reported to activate GPR25, a receptor expressed by T‐regulatory cells. Although classified as a chemokine, the activity of CXCL17 is ablated by minor C‐terminal truncation, suggesting a novel mode of receptor activation. We set out to test this hypothesis by mutagenesis. GPR25 was expressed in the murine pre‐B cell line L1.

Are we hallucinating or can psychedelic drugs modulate the immune system to control inflammation?
Psychedelic drugs that activate 5‐HT2A receptors have been long used for cultural, medicinal and recreational purposes. Interest in psychedelics for treating psychiatric disorders has resurged recently and is well documented; less well recognised are their anti‐inflammatory properties. Growing evidence now demonstrates that psychedelics modulate immune

PLGA‐particle‐based vaccine induces SARS‐CoV‐2‐specific antibody and T‐cell responses
A novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) vaccine encapsulating recombinant severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) spike receptor binding domain (RBD) with the double stranded RNA (dsRNA) analogue Riboxxim induces robust systemic and respiratory T‐ and B‐cell responses in mice.

Steamed hay for the prevention of severe equine asthma exacerbations
Abstract Background Steaming hay reduces respirable particles and is commonly used to feed horses with asthma. However, it showed inconsistent benefits in clinical studies. Objectives (1) To assess the effects of steamed hay on lung function and airway inflammation in horses with severe equine asthma (SEA) in remission; (2) To compare these effects ...
